Much needed help in my time of need!

Larry Mertes and staff provided me with exceptional representation in my biggest time of need. After being rear-ended, I attempted to handle everything myself, which ended up feeling like a second job. I was in deep turmoil with paperwork, doctor bills, physical and mental pain, and confusion....an...d Larry Mertes and his team set up a free consultation immediately. They explained the whole process clearly, and eased my mind by handling the case. I’m extremely satisfied with their professionalism, time, dedication, and care that they showed me and my case. Someone I know recommended Larry to me and now I recommend him to you!

I love Mertes Law

I love Mertes Law. Not only is Larry Mertes a brilliant, thorough, experienced, knowledgeable, and well networked lawyer, he is a kind, intuitive, caring, trustworthy, and genuine person. What seemed like an unfortunate circumstance actually ended up a blessing in disguise, and meeting and hiring Mer...tes Law was the catalyst. I now have a greater understanding of the insurance business so I can make sure I’m taken care of. The health care professionals Larry put me in contact with matched my personal needs and I’ve retained lasting, cherished relationships, both professionally and personally. Thank you!

Horrible phone call

We hired this guy and he didn’t do anything we paid him to do . He failed us on every level. Pretty much stole our money. He didn’t even take the time to look at evidence or take the time to pay the fees that needed to be paid. Or did he advice us of our rights for a Mediation. Had he done that he ...woulda saved us thousands. Guess it’s a good way to rack up the bill in his eyes. You’re better off doing it yourself. He doesn’t even care. They sure sound like they care when they asking for money but once they got it you’re a nobody who doesn’t know anything about your own case.

a great choice in an attorney for us

We hired Larry to help seal the files of felony charge for my husband that had occurred several years ago. There were a lot of crazy circumstance to the original case/charges that made it seem impossible. It was difficult to do for many reasons but Larry got it done.
