Well, let's back up: He originally wanted to be a charter-fishing boat captain.
But early in life, he discovered that a legal profession, and litigation in particular, provided an opportunity to help others - while also satisfying his competitive spirit.
John has tried dozens of cases in courts throughout the Commonwealth, handled multiple appeals, and argued successfully before the Virginia Supreme Court.
John enjoys getting out of his comfort zone and seeking new challenges.
Prior to founding Merrick Brock, he spent more than a decade as a lawyer defending insurance companies.

That decision would shape the rest of his career, just not in the way he thought it would.
There is a general opinion in society that there is too much litigation, particularly tort litigation, and Les bought into that.
He thought that by working for a defense firm, he was taking the high road and could help defeat frivolous claims.

This last part proved true - even as a young lawyer, Les was defending multinational insurers and corporate clients in front of juries in state and federal courts across Virginia.

An accident can leave you with expensive medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and uncertainty about your future.
Our goal is to obtain the maximum financial reward possible to help you get your life back on track.
Our success can bring you peace of mind.
Insurance companies have massive amounts of resources at their disposal, and from the moment an accident is reported they have one goal in mind - to minimize their financial exposure.
That means paying as little as possible on your claim, or denying it entirely.

We're willing to work for companies and individuals contingent on us obtaining a recovery from the defendant.

While we offer traditional hourly rates, we recognized that an alternate fee arrangement may better suit the needs of you or your business.
