A.T.P. was a young man who moved to Texas from Mexico to make a better life for his family.  He and his brothers and sister in the United States supported his mother, father and mentally disabled younger brother in Mexico.  He was an exceptionally hard worker and a skilled metal fabricator.

The Merman Law Firm has handled hundreds of cases and won tens of millions of dollars for it clients. Derek Merman has successfully litigated cases against Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, E.I. DuPont de Nemours, Chemical Plants, Industrial Fabricators, the City of Houston and General Motors. The Merman Law Firm is proud of its results.

The Merman Law Firm takes on cases that are meaningful to its clients and society. Mr. Merman represents the helpless, regardless of the resources or size of the opponent, in order to right a wrong and prevent other people from being neglected or abused. The Robert’s case, highlighted in the “case studies” section, is a perfect example of the Merman Law Firm standing up for what is right The Merman Law Firm treats its clients like family. We genuinely care about our clients and our help extends beyond what the typical law firm provides. Even after a case is resolved, we remain available to help our clients – many of whom are dealing with millions of dollars and have little experience managing that kind of money – without charging a fee for this service. The Barralaga case, highlighted in our case studies, is an example of service above and beyond what a typical law firm will provide. The lawyers and staff at the Merman Law Firm are dedicated to providing the highest possible level of service for your car accident case. We understand that a car accident can have serious ramifications on your personal and work life. You need transportation, medical treatment, and compensation for the time you miss from work. From the time of your accident until your case is concluded to your satisfaction, The Merman Law Firm endeavors to provide caring, experienced representation and personal service. With so many workers working in plants and fields that are inherently dangerous, there are thousands of accidents each year caused by human error, poor plant conditions, inefficient operation and lack of safety gear and precautions. In addition to chemical, petroleum and other manufacturing services, Houston is home to the largest shipping port in the United States and the sixth-largest port in the world. With great power comes great responsibility – and 18-wheelers are powerful vehicles. The Merman Law Firm works to make sure that when a truck driver or trucking company fails in its responsibilities that the victim is vindicated.The Merman Law Firm has handled trucking accidents for more than a decade. In every instance, we have endeavored to exceed our client’s expectations with our caring representation. Because The Port of Houston is an international shipping hub, Admiralty and Maritime accidents are frequent and often devastating. While the Port itself does an exceptional job handling the traffic, it cannot eliminate human error. The Houston maritime lawyers at the Merman Law Firm have handled a myriad of Admiralty cases, including Jones Act seamen injured in foreign waters, fatal collisions in the ship channel, and 905(b) claims against shipowners for longshoremen (stevedores) injured by faulty equipment shipboard while loading cargo. Many times after someone is injured by a product not working properly they believe they have a case against the manufacturer.  However, our firm’s experience with defective product lawsuits allows us to more accurately assess your situation so that you can decide whether or not to pursue a claim. If you believe you have a claim, contact the Merman Law Firm for a case evaluation. The Merman Law Firm has been successful in recovering millions of dollars for its clients in several types of personal injury cases. We strive to treat our clients like family. Everyone at the firm, from the founder to the staff, has suffered some kind of loss because of someone else’s negligence. Mr. Merman lost his father in a plane crash when he was only five. Helping people recover from their loss – personally and financially, is why we do what we do.

Derek and his team are very passionate about what they do. I was involved in a vehicle accident and from the beginning he was there for me every step of the way. I am forever grateful to him and his team, especially Tommie. They are the BEST of the best! Thank you all for everything! If you want somebody to represent you that goes above and beyond I definitely recommend this law firm. A firm that actually cares about YOU!

I've been working through a case with this firm since April and they have provided nothing but the best of service. I was in a car wreck and had little to no cost out of pocket thanks to them, as well as getting the most amount of money out of the settlement as possible. Really appreciate all that they did for me. If you need someone to represent you come here and they will take care of you. Thank you Derek and Tommie!

If you want a law firm who treats you like family, Derek and Tommie are the people for you. To tell you they will be there for you is an understatement. They will be with you every step of the way. I have personally had the great fortune of working with them, and they are among the most hard-working, aggressive legal team I know. I would give them six stars if I could.

Derek Merman and his staff went above and beyond in handling our case. We truly thought we were at a dead-end when we sought out his services. Very quickly, they were able to guide us through several options that ended in a favorable result. We would highly recommend Mr. Merman!

A high cut above the rest of the shouters in the way a serious client will appreciate. Derek Merman represents you, not his wallet. No cattle call screenings or referrals to other firms.
