About Us

Prior to establishing The Merna Law Group in 2003, Mr. Merna founded and was a partner in a prominent bankruptcy law firm in Los Angeles. His prior firm operated five offices in the greater Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.

Mr. Merna's legal and client experiences in Los Angeles play a significant part in his philosophy that a law firm does not have to be an impersonal, confusing, judgmental experience for clients. The attorneys and staff at The Merna Law Group strive to provide accessible and understandable legal services in a stress free and friendly environment.
