Ward M. Merdes

Ward & his staff are wonderful, everyone was very professional, kind and upbeat. . My emails and phone calls were always returned very quickly & without exception. Ward always kept me informed on the progress and status of my case, patiently explaining things to me in ways I could understand. He is a... compassionate person, who's gentle humor I truly appreciated. Even though I was out of state throughout the process, Ward's office made it as easy as possible for me, insuring the successful outcome of this case. I would absolutely recommend Ward Merdes to anyone needing an attorney.

I am a veteran that was stationed at Fort Wainwright. I came to Ward after I was hit by a drunk driver. From the beginning Ward was so friendly and answered all my questions (I had a ton). He always had time for me even though I always called. I was probably really annoying because I was put on a lot... of pain pills but he helped with everything. He even offered to let me stay in his guest bedroom if I had to fly back up to Alaska for a trial (I moved back to lower 48 after the Army) but the case never even went to trial, he just sent me a check. Really cool guy who is not only easy to talk to but will help you though a serious injury like mine.

I finally found a lawyer that really wanted to help me, and did. After I got into an accident, I asked a friend if he knew a good lawyer. He recommended Ward. Ward had helped his daughter and grandkids after they got into an accident. It sounded like he did well for them. I thought I would give him a... try. I called Ward and told him about my accident and very shortly after that I was in his office telling my story. After hearing about my accident, Ward explained what he could do for me and wasn’t worried one bit about going against the insurance company to help me. I’m pretty ignorant about the legal system and sometimes Ward talked pretty fast but that’s because he knows what he’s talking about. I could stop him anytime and have him explain things if I needed him to. Ward also has a good staff that is always very helpful and very professional. Whenever I called or went to his office, I always got good, prompt help. Ward was always there for me. If he happened to be in court or unavailable when I called or stopped by, his wife or staff would usually answer my questions. If they couldn’t answer them, Ward would call me very soon after with the answers. Everyone in the office was there for me. Ward went above and beyond any other lawyer I’ve had. He really went the extra mile to help me (the little guy) and it worked out very well. He provided copies of everything for my files. I would recommend Ward to help you. He genuinely cares. He’s not a blood thirsty, money grubbing lawyer. He’s one of the few good ones around. You’re the man, Ward.
