Q: How do you employ new technology to help your clients?
A: We have always employed the most cutting-edge technology in our practice, which today may even include ethical use of Artificial Intelligence to assist with legal research and other tasks. Today’s latest technologies have also permitted us to meet our clients where they are, which means employing video conferencing for consultations, meetings and even court appearances when necessary, using secure file-sharing platforms to send clients pleadings and other case documents, having secure online billing and payment platforms, and utilizing VOIP teleconferencing so calls can be appropriately routed and timely fielded whether working from the home or office. This also permits us to keep our clients abreast of developments in their cases in a timely and efficient manner, while keeping costs reasonable.
Q: What makes you different than other firms?
A: Schmergel & Mersberger, PLC was established nearly twenty-two years ago with the goal of helping ordinary people who are most in need of legal assistance: in family law, primarily handled by Mr. Schmergel, and criminal defense, handled by Mr. Mersberger. Your friends, family and neighbors are most likely to experience the court system in one of two ways: they are either getting a divorce or experiencing a family dispute, such as child custody, or they have received a traffic violation or been charged with a criminal offense. We are uniquely positioned to handle these situations and bring significant experience to bear in both areas of the law, often receiving referrals from other attorneys for that reason.
