Goes beyond and exceeds excretions

I can't sing the praises of Mr Berardi enough. He always made himself available, and responded to emails and phone calls almost immediately. He kept me in the loop every step of the way and I never felt that I wasn't his top priority. He was responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. I couldn't have... chosen a better attorney. Our case also required a lot of running around to take care of small, but important tasks and Mr Berardi took care of all of them. It really helped to limit the amount of stress I was under to take care of these items, and it was a huge weight off my shoulders. Simply put, he is fabulous.

Best Attorney who listens and really understands!

I highly recommend Attorney Berardi for all your legal needs. He is the best and very motivated. I first contacted him after getting into a car accident and he suggested I come in for a free consultation. I work full time so I didn't have much wiggle room, but he worked around my schedule and came... in on the weekend to meet with me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
