Attorney
Bryan B. Merce joined Grauer & Kriegel, LLC in 2021. Prior to joining the firm, for many years he worked for large law firms in Pennsylvania and Illinois representing both injured workers and employers in workers’ compensation and Social Security cases.

Mr. Merce is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Association.
