    Hired Law firm 2019-2026
    I usually do not give reviews but I have to on this firm. In 2019, I was injured at work and was giving this referral to Jody Merkel, I can't even begin to express how lucky I am with this legal team. They have made my world of Workers comp so much easier to deal with, no stress. Having to deal with adjustors, doctors, specialists, rehab/therapy clinics and hospitals, and companies that just try to nickel and dime you and make it seem like you are at fault, this firm has made my life a little easier to deal with my pain and my workplace. I am still receiving medical help and treatment today after 3 1/2 years because of this firm. I would recommend Jody Merkel and the legal team to anyone. They truly care about you!

    Hired Law firm 2022-2024
    This was my first experience with needing to hire an attorney. My union president recommended Jody Merkle for this situation. Options were clearly explained at every point, from filing the lawsuit through accepting the final offer. Everyone I worked with was friendly, professional, and very helpful. I am confident my settlement was appropriate for the injury i sustained.

    Just wanted to let people know that without Jody and this Law firm stepping in to help me with my injury, things could of been bad for me. I had know Idea that Workmens Comp is not out for what is in your best interest. What an eye opener! You want someone to fight for you, this is the place to go! Will never beable to Thank Merkel Law Firm enough for protecting me. Great company!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
