ABOUT OUR FIRM
Mercado Kramer LLP

OUR ATTORNEYS

Before opening their own firm, Marcela Mercado and Amanda Gladin-Kramer had success working together on challenging personal injury cases, winning multi-million-dollar settlements. We founded Mercado Kramer LLP with the goal of providing the very best service and getting top results for our clients. We have offices in Salinas and San Jose, and handle cases throughout California. You will never pay us out of your own pocket – we work on a contingency fee, meaning you don’t pay unless we win with a settlement or at trial.
 
In the courtroom, you want a fierce advocate who isn’t afraid to get aggressive and is willing to fight. But when you’re talking to your lawyer about your case, you want a compassionate listener who will explain things patiently. When you hire us, you get both of those things. We’re the full package.
 
It’s understandable that you might be nervous about talking to or hiring an attorney. Don’t be! We’re humans and here to help. You can talk to us for free, with no commitment, to get to know us and see if we’re a fit for your case. You can read about what to expect from your no-cost legal consult to learn more.
