Profile

Mr. Merrick, who has 20 years of employment law experience, founded Merrick Law Firm LLC in 2005 where he is exclusively engaged in the practice of employment law representing executives, professionals, managers, and other employees. He handles matters involving employment agreements, non-competes, severance packages, and the gamut of discrimination and wrongful discharge claims. Mr. Merrick also engages in employment counseling and defense work for small and medium-sized employers in a more responsive and affordable fashion than large firms. He has increasingly devoted a substantial part of his practice to prosecuting ADA, FMLA, and ERISA claims on behalf of employees with disabilities and serious health problems.
