I've had the pleasure of working with Sheila Merchant for over two years across a range of complex projects, from mergers and acquisitions to partnership agreements, operating agreements, and contract negotiations. Throughout our collaboration, Sheila has consistently demonstrated not only her legal expertise but also her unique ability to patiently guide her clients through every detail of a contract, ensuring that we fully understand each step before proceeding. This approach sets her apart from many attorneys, as she focuses on educating her clients rather than just dictating actions.

I first met Sheila while working with a rapidly growing vertically integrated organization. During this time, Sheila played a pivotal role in the company’s success, securing acquisitions at an exceptional value. Her strategic thinking and sharp negotiation skills were key in driving growth for the organization.

When I launched my own government contracting company, Sheila was the first person I reached out to. Her savvy, calm demeanor and legal expertise have been invaluable as my team bids on various proposals. Sheila is not just an excellent attorney, but a true partner in business. She has the ability to get you across the finish line with both professionalism and grace. I highly recommend Sheila to anyone in need of a sharp, reliable, and client-centered attorney.

Sheila helped us negotiate a fair lease settlement with my commercial landlord for unpaid rent during COVID. She has great instincts and was able to negotiate a very fair settlement with my landlord. She was very professional in her communication, timely, and responsive. I recommend her to anyone I know looking for a business/contract lawyer. Very fair rates, much less than many other firms I reached out to. I also appreciated the 15 minute complimentary consultation.

Sheila has been a true partner in my small business journey. She has helped me with so many stressful situations, I have lost count!

Her ability to translate legalese into plain English has been a game-changer. She's always there, ready to provide guidance and support, no matter how big or small the issue.

Beyond her legal expertise, Sheila's warm personality and sense of humor have made the process of navigating legal matters much much more manageable. If you're searching for a lawyer who genuinely cares about your success and can provide personalized, expert advice, I highly recommend Sheila.

Sheila is a wealth of knowledge, patience, professionalism and kindness! I had been wavering and procrastinating on my business because I just couldn't wrap my head around the somewhat complex nature of what I was trying to do, so I finally decided to get some professional advice. Sheila gave me a complimentary consultation and I was sold! I really felt like a priority and like she was personally invested in my success. We discussed all the options, what I absolutely needed and what was optional. She broke it down for me in the simplest of terms (which was extremely helpful) and always gave me the pros and cons to empower my decision making, while also giving her recommendations. She also saved me a few thousand dollars by clarifying what I didn't actually need, despite having been told by others that I did! Thanks to Sheila, I've been able to finally move forward with several things I was stuck on and I will definitely be working with her again. I highly highly recommend her for all your business/contract needs.

Reached out to Sheila for assistance on a contract; she did not disappoint. The contract was somewhat unique and required some finesse and hand-holding to get it completed. Not only was Sheila informative but she made sure I was comfortable and completely understood all that was being put forth. I highly recommend Sheila as I can clearly say that I have found my one-stop legal resource for my contractual needs.
