About Lester
Biography
I’m Les Brock, and I help people and businesses pursue accountability when someone else’s actions cause harm. Before founding Merrick Brock, I represented insurance companies and corporate defendants. Today, I use that experience to anticipate defense strategies and prepare cases for members of my community.
I believe a strong attorney-client relationship starts with accessibility. My clients can reach me by phone, email, or text, and I keep them involved as their cases progress. I explain the benefits and risks of settlement and trial so they can choose their path forward. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family.

5-Star Attorney
I called Les after I was attacked by a dog in my neighborhood. He dropped everything he was doing and gave me his full attention. It was a very traumatic situation and he guided me through it. If I ever need an attorney again he will be the first and only person I call.
