Ted Connell wisely advised me against litigation in a real property dispute, which was the best advice I could have received. He made me aware that I might have statute of limitations issues that could possibly work against me. He advised me to instead pursue negotiation, which I did. The situation has been resolved in the best manner possible.

A 5 star law firm in my opinion. Ted keep me up to date on where we was on the law suit was never in the dark. He got the amount he said he could get before he even took my case. Great group here would most definitely use them again. Thanks for taking such good care of me.

I had a great experience working with Yaeger Bass after my car accident. He was very attentive, accommodating, and kept me informed throughout the process. He made a stressful situation easier and produced an outcome much better than I expected. I definitely recommend Yaeger for anyone that needs a reliable and skilled attorney.

Yeager Bass was my attorney and will always be my attorney. I contacted his firm in June of 2025 and during the entire process he communicated what to expect and fought to make sure I got everything I asked for. All the staff were amazing and if I ever needed them again they will forever be my go to lawyers.

I would not hesitate to use this Firm (Charles Merkel III). They are very professional and knowledgeable.

Called in to ask if a clinc refusing to give me a copy of a physical was against the law. I don't remember that gentleman's name but he spent 10 minutes explaining what my options was in the event I wanted to move forward. There's attorneys that won't even say yay or nay to my question. Thank you again sir.

had a great attorney who handled my case wonderfully Yeager M. Bass did such an amazing job throughout this whole thing I can’t explain how grateful I am to have had him work my case I definitely recommend Merkel & Cocke for such situations

Charles helped me on a case that lasted over 3 years. I was very happy with the outcome. And his advocacy was fantastic. But most important to me, he was a man of his word. Everything he said he would do, he did. I would recommend him to any plaintiff who is seeking a medical negligence lawyer.

I had an excellent experience and would highly recommend Merkel & Cocke - very professional and wonderful to work with. Great expertise and follow through.

I never thought I’d need an attorney or law firm, but I cannot imagine a better firm to have had the opportunity to work with. They handled every aspect of this unforeseen journey with care and helped make it as stress free as possible. I HIGHLY recommend using them!

A very noteworthy organization. They took case and immediately began working on it. The associates are very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable! I would recommend their services to anyone who experienced maltreatment.

Merkel & Cocke are great attorneys that will help you take care of your legal issues. They are very professional and hold themselves to the highest ethical standards.

The effort, energy time and care in my case was outstanding from the entire team. The time it took in handling this case was enormous. This firm never wavered. Without this firm and Mr Merkel the results would not be the same.
Thank you for everything
