Hired Attorney

Howard Merkow was used for a hearing officer for a school hearing! Do not use him! he represent school districts. He is unfair and he does not follow the law. He allowed the school district to present evidence and did not even give me time to view. Completely unprofessional!

Hired Attorney

Look up the reviews. He actually had a federal judge overturn many of his decisions, because of how capricious and unfair he is and this is what what said about him in a 2017 Native News Online.Net article: "Hearing Officer Harold J. Merkow has been hearing appeals of denial determinations by ONHIR since 1982. In the last three years, Merkow has denied 110 of 113 relocatee applicant appeals, which represents a denial rate of more than 97 percent. But today, in a landmark decision, Judge Steven P. Logan reversed one of Merkow’s many arbitrary rulings by finding “[Merkow’s] revised decision, Judge Steven P. Logan reversed one of Merkow’s many arbitrary rulings by finding “[Merkow’s] revised decision denying Plaintiff’s application for relocation assistance benefits was not supported by substantial evidence, was arbitrary and capricious, and was contrary to law.”
