"It is very important to me to maintain the high quality that we've established so far. I have gotten to the point where I can be fairly selective with my clients, and I try to give them a real high level of personal service. As long as I can make that an economically feasible model, I fully intend to keep doing that. I like to be on hugging terms with all of my clients, they are like family to me.

With 13 years dedicated to law, Mr. Merman brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his areas of specialization, defective drug and product injuries, wrongful-death claims, catastrophic injuries, and admiralty claims. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Merman said:
"When I was very young, my father was killed in a plane accident. I didn’t know our representative all that well, because I was so young, but I knew he helped our family profoundly during one of the most difficult times for us. Having had to go through all of that, it made me sensitive to think of people that are in a similar situation. From that time on, I felt a very strong calling to go into personal injury law. Though I dabble from time to time in civil rights work, personal injury has and always will be my focus."
As a thought-leader in his industry, Mr. Merman pays close attention to prevailing trends in personal injury law. At this time, Merman is focused on exploring the evolution of mass torts, and continuing to connect with clients in need. His firm has a policy of refusing to settle for less than a case is worth, preferring to take the case to trial, where he has proven himself as a considerable presence–having won two verdicts in excess of $10,000,000 before turning forty years old.
The Merman Law Firm has garnered a reputation for fearlessness and has taken on some of the biggest corporations in the country, including Johnson & Johnson, E.I. DuPont de Nemours, Cooper Tire and Rubber Company, and the City of Houston. With Mr. Merman at the helm, the level of care and quality given to each case they have taken has been remarkable. He noted:
"It is very important to me to maintain the high quality that we’ve established so far. I have gotten to the point where I can be fairly selective with my clients, and I try to give them a real high level of personal service. As long as I can make that an economically feasible model, I fully intend to keep doing that. I like to be on hugging terms with all of my clients, they are like family to me. I take this business very personally."
Mr. Merman currently serves as a member of the American Bar Association, the Texas State Bar, The Maritime Lawyers Association, American Trial Lawyers Association, The Houston Bar Association, Houston Young Lawyers Association, and Texas Young Lawyers Association.
