Our Firm

When you hire Martin Merritt PLLC, Martin Merritt will be the only lawyer working on your case. Which means none of your hard-earned money goes to pay partners who aren’t working on your case, nor will your money be spent to train “baby lawyer” associates how to practice health law. There aren’t any other partners or young associates here.
