Spencer and His Team Took Incredible Care
My brother was recently in his first car accident in Kentucky, and since it’s a no-fault state, we weren’t sure how to handle everything. I had him call Spencer, and from that point forward, he and his team took incredible care of him. They went above and beyond to ease the stress and minimize the financial impact the accident could have caused. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine concern made a tough situation so much easier. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else in the Tri-State area — Spencer and his team truly delivered outstanding service.

Spencer has been the absolute best injury lawyer for my family! He has personally helped me and a couple of my family members through both minor and serious wrecks.

Eric Was Incredible to Work With
I’ve worked with Eric Gile as my attorney after two car accidents, one in 2019 and another in 2025. Eric was incredible to work with both times. He is professional, responsive, and genuinely caring.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and compassionate attorney.

I Would Not Hesitate to Use Merk & Gile Again
My wife and I were involved in a not-at-fault automobile accident. We were both injured, not life-threatening, but whiplash, possible slight concussion, etc. After an event like this, you will receive dozens of offers from attorneys wanting to represent you legally. My wife and I decided that we did not want to hire a large law firm with possibly dozens of lawyers on staff. We were looking for a smaller office that we would be able to connect with an actual person and not just be another customer. We found just the place here at Merk & Gile. We spoke with Eric Gile multiple times. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Also, our paralegal Crystal was great. She was very quick to respond to any inquiries we had and kept us informed as the situation progressed. I hope I never need an injury attorney again, LOL, but if I do, I would not hesitate to use Merk & Gile again.

What is a catastrophic injury?
A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that significantly affects a person's ability to function. It often involves long-term or permanent disability, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Can I afford a lawyer for my injury claim?
Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if you win your case. This arrangement allows you to access legal representation without upfront costs.
What compensation might I receive?
Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages. Each case is unique, so the amount varies based on circumstances.
