Testimonials From Our Criminal Defense Clients

My experience with Tim Flaherty and his staff has been nothing short of phenomenal! My two sons were arrested while vacationing in Fort Walton Beach and faced some serious charges. My prayers were answered when I hired Flaherty & Merrifield to represent them. Since we live in Texas, they took care of everything without us having to travel back to Florida except once, which was the day that Tim got their felonies dismissed and the other charges deferred. Brittni and Brandy were amazing and kept us informed through the entire process. And Tim was truly masterful in the courtroom! God bless you all for your amazing work, Tim.

This is just the beginning of our journey with Brandy Merrifield. When I read her reviews, I knew that she was the one we needed to help. I called her office on Saturday evening and the answering service said they wouldn't be in until Monday. I thought, "Okay, I will wait for her." Autumn called me back that evening within an hour. I was so happy and she was on it right away. I was very happy for her help. As soon as she got the information she needed, Brandy called me. She gave me her personal cell phone number and was back and forth until 10:00 or 11:00 PM. She was very nice, helpful, and explained what she would be able to do. I think Brandy is the best and would recommend her. She will be my go-to attorney.

The Flaherty & Merrifield team is the best in town. I am a retired military veteran and could not ask for a better law firm to defend me. They made me feel like my case was their number one priority. Brandy is very skilled. She went above and beyond for me with my case. Mr. Flaherty is top-notch. He is an expert in his field. They are a team that plays to win. Thank you for being the best.

I contacted Flaherty Defense Firm after an unfortunate encounter with some unprofessional police officers. They did exactly what they said they would do. My case was dismissed and my career was unaffected. Without their hard work, my career could have suffered. Thank you.

Extremely helpful. Able to get in touch with staff without issues. Office is prompt and does what they say they will. Highly effective and knowledgeable. Willing to work with your issue on a personal basis. Highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need. God bless.

This firm is beyond great. From start to finish, they handled everything perfectly and communication was excellent. The staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everything is done right and justice prevails. I would highly recommend this firm.

Mr. Flaherty is the best when you need help with legal matters. Very professional and comforting. His vast knowledge of the law will definitely set your mind at ease. Thanks for everything Tim!

Very professional. The kind of firm that under-promises and over-delivers. Mr. Flaherty got my possession charges dropped after I was detained and then cited for possession of marijuana. I highly suggest talking to him before settling on your legal representation.

Supportive and compassionate! Brandy was able to put all of my fears to rest. She was very compassionate to my situation and educated me about my rights. She continued to stay in touch with me throughout the holidays while we were sorting through the mess. She really went out of her way and took time out of her holiday and weekends to help me. I can't thank her enough. Never once did she put the pressure on me to hire the firm. She simply gave the cost to represent me and never did she make me feel like "it was all about the money." I truly appreciated that. Had we not come to a resolution with the initial issue, I would have hired Brandy and the firm in a heartbeat to represent me. I highly recommend them. Thank you again.

Tim Flaherty and his team were so helpful, knowledgeable, and genuine. I am not from Florida and didn’t know anyone I could ask for a good lawyer. I, like many, went to Google reviews for more references. I found Tim and his team and they couldn’t have been more helpful. His team was transparent and made me feel at ease with this highly stressful situation. I would refer anyone in the Fort Walton/Destin area to him, as he is a phenomenal lawyer and his team is super experienced!

The entire firm is wonderful to work with. They always seemed to be looking out for our best interests and worked very hard to make sure the outcome was very favorable. The entire firm made us feel very relaxed during the entire process, during a time when I would have normally been very anxious. They are well worth every penny spent!

Flaherty & Merrifield is a top-notch firm. They go above and beyond for their clients. Their staff is amazing. If you are in need for any issue, this is the firm to call. Equally important, they care about their clients and fight for you. I highly recommend them. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thanks so much!
