Accessible Legal Guidance in Merced

I believe a strong legal defense should never be out of reach. Across the country, data shows that nearly 80% of individuals with legal needs do not receive help, many because they assume they can’t afford it. That gap leaves people vulnerable when they need support the most. 

At Law Office of Christopher Loethen, I confront this reality directly by making my services affordable and accessible to those who need them.

To make that commitment real, I’ve built my practice around policies that reduce stress and remove barriers during difficult times, such as:

  • Free consultations. I offer a confidential, no-cost initial meeting to help you understand your situation and legal options.
  • 24/7 availability. Legal problems don’t follow a schedule. I’m available to answer your call any time, day or night.
  • Virtual consultations. I provide secure phone and video meetings to accommodate your location and schedule.
  • Se habla español. I proudly offer legal services in Spanish because it is important to me that I am available to as many members of our community as possible.

When you're facing a legal challenge, getting help should be straightforward. I’m here to provide that support.
