Congratulations, Charles M. Merkel III, for Being Named to Best Lawyers in America!
Merkel & Cocke, P.A. is proud to announce that Charles M. Merkel III has been named to the 2019 Best Lawyers in America list for his work in Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs. Mr. Merkel has been named to the list every year since 2012.
Best Lawyers is the foremost peer-reviewed awards process in the country. Every year, lawyers from throughout the country are nominated for their work in 145 different areas of practice. Once nominated, their names are sent for review by their peers, all of whom have been named to the Best Lawyers list. This feedback is later reviewed and evaluated, and candidates’ names are put forth by the reviewing panel. All candidates are then vetted to ensure they are in good standing with the Bar associations. Final candidates are named, and both the attorneys and their firms are informed of the selection.
