Ward Merdes was a great attorney who helped me greatly. He and his staff were extremely helpful through every step of my case. Whenever I'd call Ward, or any member of his staff, I received a return phone call ASAP. Merdes & Merdes was at all times honest, competent and hard working. Ward worked very hard for me and I trusted him 100% throughout my case. I cannot thank Ward and his staff enough for everything they have done to help me.

I was in a car wreck caused by another driver. The other driver's insurance almost immediately offered me a settlement amount for personal injury contingent on me signing that I would not sue or make any future claims. I called Merdes Law Office, gave all the information about the accident to his staff member. Within about 15 minutes Ward Merdes called me. He had reviewed everything, accident report, photos, my statement, insurance documents, etc. He was quite straight forward. He told me to jot some notes, and told me just exactly how he thought I should handle my case. (And he felt that I would most likely be able to handle it myself without paying for an attorney!) About a week after our first telephone conversation, he called me just to follow up and see how I was doing. He said I should call him with any questions that come up and he would not charge me for any of this. Having a bad wreck is shock enough without having to struggle with legal and insurance questions on my own. He's helpful, kind, and knowledgeable, and I am very grateful that he offered to help me.

I was able to get my questions answered and well explained over the phone (at no cost for consultation). He really knows Alaska law and explains things clearly and concisely.

We can’t say enough good things about Ward Merdes and his team. What a phenomenal group of people to work with. Always friendly, helpful and prompt with their communication. We truly felt they went above and beyond for us. The attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the laws and procedures that follow an automobile accident were comforting to us during a difficult time. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a trustworthy attorney you will be well taken care of by Mr. Merdes and his team!

Ward and his staff are fantastic! Discussed all points, made sure I understood everything and I felt very confident in their ability to represent me. They got back to me right away and resolved my case better than I could have expected. I would definitely recommend them if you are in a car accident. Call right away, don't try to resolve it yourself. Merdes Law Office is worth every penny.

He helped me understand my rights after my daughter was in an automobile accident. Having never had to deal with this before, he gave me very valuable advice. He was also very prompt in answering emails and phone calls and never made me feel like I was being rushed!!

In navigating my automobile loss accident, he offered some excellent advice which I was not aware of with Alaska law. He spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me. His approach was straight forward and he is easy to talk with.
