Attorney Profile

Merlyn L. Meinerts provides a unique blend of services to parties involved in marital dissolution proceedings.

Meinerts is equipped to provide effective legal representation in those cases where a party is in need of an advocate or the case involves highly complex matters.  When representing a party, Meinerts' approach would likely first include an attempt at a negotiated resolution through settlement discussions.   Where settlement efforts are not successful or practical, Meinerts effectively assists his clients in seeking a judicial determination of the matter via a motion or trial.

Meinerts is prepared to assist parties as a neutral third party facilitator, with alternative dispute resolution services ranging from mediation to arbitration.  Meinerts' style in mediation involves empowering parties to control their own results in a marital dissolution proceeding.  The prospect of a less expensive, less time-consuming and more certain process makes alternative dispute resolution an attractive alternative to litigation.
