Highly Recommend Bob Berks

Bob was recommended to me by a long time co worker. Bob explained to me exactly how the divorce process worked from every perspective. His experience and clear communication style made me very comfortable with the difficult decisions/choices I needed to make throughout the process. I have continu...ed to engage Bob's assistance on both personal (will and custody issues)and business matters(sale of commercial real estate). I highly recommend.

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.
