I retained Mr Berman's services to retrieve a foreclosure surplus. He explained the process to me and updated me on every step. Mr Berman got results quickly (about a month) and he doesn't take advantage of people by overcharging them. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good lawyer & a good person to do business with.

Attorney Berman was recommended to me by a contact of mine whose judgment I trust. I have utilized his legal expertise on a few matters regarding bankruptcy, small claims, mortgage company issues over the past few years. He is personable, realistic(doesn't sugarcoat things), walks you through the process of your issue including the timeline and his fee. He is easy to reach and thorough. I highly recommend using him if you have a legal matter that you need help with.
