Client Testimonials

As a personal injury and mass tort lawyer for 41 years, I must name Mr. Merkel as superlative. He represented my firm in a long and arduous legal battle that culminated in success. During the litigation, and without notes, Mr. Merkel gave a 27-minute argument on the firm`s behalf, which I must say was the best oral argument I have ever seen. I give five stars for Merkel.
