Receiving the award is a great honor and is a testament to Mr. Keirnan's reputation among his colleagues as being one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Harris County.

Casey has a reputation of going above and beyond the duty he owes to his clients. His candor and professionalism in the courtroom are well known throughout the Harris County Criminal Courthouse.

"Michael Mercer is a personal, professional, empathetic, diligent, caring and hard working who has the optimum interests of his clients at heart. He recently represented me in an assault family member case against me. Constantly assured me when I was down there was no evidence against me. He worked hard to have all cases dismissed in a lightning speed of time."

"Never been in trouble before and now I couldn't bond out of jail and had a court appointed lawyer who gave me little hope. I found defense attorney Casey Keirnan and Michael Mercer because of their experience as a theft defense lawyer. They replaced my court appointed attorney and everything changed."
