Mr Bergenn is amazing!

The embodiment of charisma, unbelievable intelligence, utter command of vast portions of the legal encyclopedia, complete attention to legal minutiae while maintaining a clear view of the entire legal battlefield, gifted with the very rare ability to both precisely see and keenly sense the best path ...to restoration of justice and my exoneration, combined with both sheer charm and pure kindness. In my darkest hours he gave me hope, then he made good on his promise. A gentleman. A true gentleman.

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.
