Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend this firm enough! I was a passenger in a severe car collision and sustained injuries that are still impacting my daily life. Ric Domnitz came to my home for our first meeting. He spoke to us - not at us (which is one fear I had dealing with a lawyer). He was sure we understood ...everything that was happening every step of the way over the years. He and his staff were always available to answer any questions or to reassure our concerns. I never felt alone or confused in this entire process. It was stressful and scary but I strongly believe I only made it through to the end because of Ric Domnitz and his staff's ability to be in the fight with me. We were a team and in the end, we won. Thank you Ric and staff for all you did to help me and my family get through this lengthy process!

"I have had the honor of knowing Merrick Domnitz for 29 years. He is a skilled, zealous and tireless fighter for the rights of his clients. There have been many times when I relied on his knowledge and guidance. On those occassions when he goes to court, he is a master. If I needed a personal injury lawyer, I would want a lawyer that is feared and respected by the insurance companies. Merrick Domnitz is that lawyer."

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.
