After being hit by a car, I was in shock and completely overwhelmed by the aftermath. I knew I needed legal help but wasn’t sure where to turn. A friend recommended Austin Merk at Merk Law, and I’m so glad they did.From the first call, Austin was incredibly supportive and understanding. He took the time to listen to my story and immediately got to work on my case. What stood out to me was how compassionate and approachable he was, yet also incredibly sharp and detail-oriented. He didn’t just treat me like another case—he treated me like a person who needed help.Austin was thorough in gathering evidence and dealing with the insurance company, which was a huge relief for me. I didn’t have to worry about a thing because I knew he was handling it all. He kept me updated throughout the process and made sure I understood my options at every step.The end result was more than I could have hoped for. Austin secured a settlement that covered all my medical expenses, plus compensation for the pain and disruption the accident caused in my life. The financial relief has been crucial in helping me get back on my feet.I highly recommend Austin Merk to anyone who has been in an accident. He’s not only an excellent attorney but also a genuinely caring person who will fight for you. If you need someone who will go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of, Austin is the lawyer you want in your corner.

Merck Law was top tier, provided me with all the necessary stops needed to get adequate compensation post hit and run. Was not a desirable situation at first, but safe to say Austin & co. helped remedy the situation as quickly and smoothly as possible. Quality Atlanta / Metro-atlanta personal injury firm, definitely my first recommendation to anyone in a similar situation.

I can't say enough good things about Merck Law. I recently had a family member get severely injured in an accident and Attorney Austin Smith treated us like we were his only clients.He made sure that our case got handled with the utmost care and brought us the justice that we needed. His quick responses were always genuine and his expertise really helped us through a very tough time. Without his help, I believe we could have faced serious losses. We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Merck Law for their kindness and dedication and would definitely recommend to anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation.

I was hit by a truck while riding my motorcycle, and left with a fractured spine. Attorney, Austin Merck Smith, not only made me and my whole family feel like his priority, but he helped bring my case to justice. Without him, I truly believe I would have lost everything as I could no longer work. I cant thank everyone at Merck Law enough. They are caring and put their clients first.

I was referred to Austin after getting into a car accident. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get a lawyer at first but I'm glad that I did. He was very professional and clearly explained my options to me. He was very easy to communicate with and answered any questions that I had quickly. He worked hard to get what I deserved and I strongly recommend anyone to him. He will not let you down.

Had a great experience with this firm. Austin Smith was professional and it was obvious that he cared about my case. He was also very knowledgeable and quick to communicate, which put me at ease during the process. If I'm ever in an accident again I will definitely use Merck.

Ahmad Choudhary

20:41 17 Dec 20

Not knowing anything of the legal tools available to me in a car accident, I was lost. Austin Smith conveyed the pros and cons to me in a rational manner. What separated him from the other council I had received was his pragmatism in what I could get out of my situation. In other words he took on the case based on a high confidence in my case.
