I was in a bad boating accident, which fractured my leg in multiple places. I was unable to walk for over 5 months. The accident was completely out of my control and was not taken seriously by the driver and everyone involved. This is when I was given Jordan Merson’s name. From day one, Jordan Merson and his team was extremely hands on. They reassured me that they would do everything they could to get my case heard and taken care of as quickly as possible. These cases take a lot of time. Of course, this experience would get me frustrated, but Jordan and team never gave up. They kept me in the loop on every major move and managed to settle my case in record time. From start to finish, they settled my case in less than 2 years. I wanted a lawyer that was dedicated, aggressive, but also genuine. Jordan was all of these things. No one wants to have to go through legal battles, but with Jordan on your side, you can rest assure that he will battle to the end for you. I would not want anyone else in my corner!

I was very fortunate to come across Jordan Merson's name while doing some research concerning a civil matter I was involved in. I had been offered a settlement which I did not believe to be fair, but considered accepting. Mr. Merson's firm offered a free consultation. After presenting my case to the firm, Mr. Merson called me directly and agreed to handle my case. From that point on I dealt directly with Mr. Merson and he handled all future negotiations. The result. I settled my case for greater then six times the amount originally offered. I highly recommend Jordan Merson as he and the entire staff were very professional and extremely competent.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Jordan Merson as a medical malpractice attorney. Going through a challenging time with my family, Jordan lent my family and I the type of support we needed that not most attorneys would. From hand holding-office crying sessions, to understanding the needs and demands of our family and getting just that for us. Jordan is a class A professional and an excellent attorney.

I am very thankful for his compassion and professionalism. Thank you Mr. Merson for providing me with a light out of this very difficult situation. I am grateful to have some hope, and Mr. Gerson has provided me with that hope today. Thank you Mr. Merson.
