Maria was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions throughout the entire process. She kept me informed about my case, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience much easier to handle. I truly felt that she cared about my situation and worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome for me. I am very grateful for her dedication, support, and professionalism. I highly recommend Maria Merman and Ankin Law to anyone who needs legal assistance after an accident.

In August 2024, I was involved in a hit-and-run accident while driving for Uber. A truck carrying another vehicle sideswiped the front passenger door of my Nissan Murano and drove away. Although I managed to take a picture of the license plate on the carrier, I didn't have the driver's information or the license plate of the truck itself. Since I was online driving a rider when the accident occurred, I reached out to Uber for assistance, but unfortunately, they refused to help. The following day, a friend referred me to Ankin Law, and from the moment I contacted them, they treated me with care and professionalism. Their first priority was my health, so they arranged for me to attend physical therapy to make sure I hadn't suffered any hidden injuries before focusing on my case. In February 2026, Attorney Maria Merman took over my case, and she was outstanding. She kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions with patience, and assured me she would do everything possible to bring the case to a successful resolution before August. True to her word, she called me in June to let me know that the insurance company had agreed to a settlement after nearly 18 months of hard work. Just two days after my birthday, I received my settlement check - it truly felt like the best birthday gift I could have asked for. Thank you, Ankin Law, for standing by me throughout this process, and a very special thank you to Maria Merman for your dedication, compassion, and for always listening to my endless questions without ever making me feel like a burden. You turned a stressful experience into one that ended with hope and relief. I will gladly recommend Ankin Law to anyone who needs a legal team that genuinely cares about its clients. Thank you again for everything!
Maria was great throughout the process and waiting and getting feedback every time I needed it. Communicated with me when I needed answers very friendly and informative. I recommend booking her if you need help and got into an accident. Thanks a lot Maria at Ankin Law and your team!!

Thanks to Maria’s hard work and dedication, I received my settlement check in just 7 months, which exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciate everything she did for me and would highly recommend Maria and the team at Ankin Law to anyone looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about their clients and gets results. Thank you again, Maria!
Our family is incredibly grateful to Jeff Schulkin and his team for their exceptional representation. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Jeff’s 30+ years of experience are matched only by his deep compassion. He, Howard, and the rest of the team genuinely cared about our family and acted as fierce advocates for us every step of the way. They were always incredibly patient, answering all of our questions and making an otherwise difficult process as convenient and painless as possible. If you need a legal team that combines immense expertise with true heart, we cannot recommend Jeff and his team highly enough.
