Outstanding

Mr. Merkel has been the very best attorney I've known for as long as I have known him. He has the rare ability to sort through and understand very complicated and complex matters and pair them down to something concise and manageable. He relates extremely well to a jury, and his results in the cour...t room speak for themselves. Above all he is kind, compassionate and approachable. I cannot say enough good things about his legal ability or about him as a person.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
