Mr. Berman represented my family in a time of great need. Mr. Berman was simply wonderful. He and his team were compassionate from the day we met with him and he truly understood what it was that we needed the most in being a voice for our father. As he promised he would be, he was aggressive in handling our case. He always kept our best interests in mind. His handling of our case was terrific and the result we obtained was far better than what we ever expected. I would highly recommend Mr. Berman and his team to anyone who needs the absolute best in representation. I don’t think you could find a better, more compassionate, more knowledgeable, more prepared, or more aggressive law firm to represent you than Mr. Berman and his law firm.

I had the best experience possible with Berman & Riedel, LLP. Mr. Berman was very attentive and detail oriented in my case from our first meeting until my case was resolved. His relentless negotiations and absolute dedication in my case went above my expectations. Very professional and knowledgeable and I highly recommend his services.

I could not have been happier working with Berman and Riedel to resolve my case! They were extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and most importantly, they had great communication. As with any legal proceeding, there is a lot of downtime during the transition periods, but I never once felt like I was out of the loop or didn't know the current status of my case, regardless of how much time had passed. They could always be reached if I had any questions, and the unsolicited updates were always a welcome surprise. While I hope I never need to hire any law firm in the future, if I do, I know who I will call first.

My lawsuit had a LOT of emotions tied to it. I filed a wrongful death suit that involved my father. It was a 2 year process that was very painful because the discovery period and the depositions required that I re-live a very sad time for me. Zack and Bill were with me every step of the way and explained the entire process clearly and in "laymen's" terms. A lot of tears were shed but they were sympathetic and diligent about building my Dad's case. They allowed me to express my emotions which ranged from anger, to frustration, to finally a sense of relief when it was all over. In the end we settled the case and I felt justified, validated, and heard. I can never thank them enough for helping me to close this chapter in my life and to help me move forward. Don't hesitate to consider speaking with them if you have experienced any elder abuse issues. I'm so glad I did.

I knew I had to make a phone call to an attorney asking for help, but I dreaded it because quite honestly I was intimidated. I spoke with Harlan Zaback who handled my case against a memory care facility that was neglecting my mom. It was emotional for me to rehash the sequence of events that led me to them. Mr. Zaback was kind, compassionate, and gently guided me through the process as if I was a family member. Later in the process I met with Bill Berman and he was also so kind and gentle that I knew in my heart that everything was going to be alright. If you feel that you need legal representation in nursing home abuse and/or neglect please don't hesitate to call Bill Berman or Harlan Zaback. They will fight for you and your loved one until the bitter end, and they will never give up.

I have had two occasions to use this law firm. The first one was overwhelmingly difficult for us, but we found Mr. Berman and Harlan Zaback worked tirelessly, sometimes until late into the evening to make our case successful. Because of this success, I felt comfortable and felt secure to ask for assistance regarding my sons accident on a different occasion. Harlan was very personal and assured me that he would manage all the details, always keeping me informed of the status.
My son was even gifted front row seats to a Padre Game from Mr. Berman.

Mr. Berman represented me and my wife in a civil lawsuit that was very personal and emotional for us. Not knowing what we were going to do but realizing the seriousness of the case and our need to find the best possible representation we then consulted with Mr. Berman. He gave us all of the time we needed and showed an incredible compassion for us and our case. We immediately felt his desire to help us felt extremely fortunate that he agreed to take on our case. Those feelings never changed.

Throughout the case, Mr. Berman spent a great deal of time answering all of our calls and questions and he kept us calm and well informed throughout. He never wavered and showed incredible care for not just our case but for us personally. He made us feel secure in what was one of the most daunting and stressful times of our lives.

Immediately after Mr. Berman got involved in representing us and handling our case, it became evident that the other side realized that Mr. Berman was prepared and willing to go the distance. He put a lot of pressure on the other side and made them realize that it was going to cost them a lot of time and money if they didn't resolve the case. Yet he listened to us and our needs and with an understanding that we wanted to avoid a long trial where we felt the pain and stress would simply be overwhelming, he was able to get the Judge to allow us to mediate the case.
Through his methodical and professional demeanor, Mr. Berman fought aggressively for us. In watching him during mediation it became even more clear why he has truly earned such a high reputation within the legal community. His negotiating skills are fantastic and we ended up settling the case for an amount that was far better than we ever expected would be possible. We felt that we were so extremely well represented that we would highly recommend Mr. Berman and his law firm to others. Thank you Mr. Berman and all of the wonderful people at Berman & Riedel.
