Tampa and West Palm Beach, FL [March 29, 2010] -- William F. “Chip” Merlin, president of Merlin Law Group, today announced the opening of Merlin Law Group’s newest office in West Palm Beach, located at 777 South Flagler Drive. The location joins the firms rapidly growing practice with offices in Houston, Texas, Coral Gables, Florida, and headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

“Ever since we opened our office in Coral Gables, we’ve received many requests from policyholders and public adjusters to provide an office north of Dade County,” said Merlin. “Opening this office made sense in being able to provide greater service and convenience to clients and referral sources, as long as we could find the “right” attorney with values similar to ours. Fortunately, we did.”

Attorney Shaun J. Marker joins Merlin Law Group from Childress Duffy with experience in the areas of insurance recovery, risk management and asset protection.

“I appreciate the opportunity to continue representing those in the West Palm Beach area and the rest of Florida, in their pursuit to obtain justice in their claims against insurance providers,” said Marker. “I feel fortunate to be able to do so as part of the Merlin Law Group team of attorneys. I am well aware of the good work the firm has done for years, and it is a pleasure to have the reputation of the Merlin name supporting what I love doing.”

“Shaun has the knowledge, skills, and tenacity needed to provide the type of personal and friendly service to clients that the firm expects from all of its attorneys,” continued Merlin. “Shaun also has the proper temperament to provide zealous representation for those embroiled with insurance coverage disputes, yet still empathize and listen carefully to the client’s needs. In our business to be truly successful, you have to do both. My intent is that everyone at the Merlin Law Group will continue to listen to our clients, referring attorneys, and public adjusters so that we can better ourselves and continue growing in a manner that meets the needs and expectations of those we are honored to serve.”

Merlin Law Group is a firm dedicated solely to representing and protecting the rights of insurance policyholders. The firm handles both commercial and residential insurance loss cases throughout the southeast, and across the nation.
