Posted by Brian | November 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Leaving the scene/careless driving

Mr. Berger was an exceptional lawyer who clearly understands the law and the dynamics of local personalities. Beginning with our initial conversation, Mr.Bergers plan remained on course to the final judgement with no surprises. Price was very fair and was always available for questions pertaining ...to the case. My situation carried some substantial penalties which Mr. Berger was able to litigate to reduced charges with zero points on my driving record. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent experienced lawyer

Spoke to Mr Burger regarding my case and told me what he can do for me. Facing Possible license suspension. and on the court date did everything he said he would do. negotiated with the prosecutor and couldn't be happier with the results.

Posted by Ken | October 05, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Highly Recommend

My Son was issued a 2 point careless driving violation and was scheduled for a court appearance on the date when he was back to college (out of state). I consulted with Mr. Berger about his situation and was told that he can represent my Son without my Son having to make a physical appearance in co...urt. Mr. Berger was really professional and thorough in explaining all the possible options in detail. We were extremely happy to hear that Mr. Berger was able to reduce the violation to obstruction of traffic with 0 points. I would highly recommend Mr. Berger for consul and all representative needs.

Excellent service

Daniel Berger was an excellent lawyer who helped me with my problem in a professional and effective manner. I am very satisfied with the outcome I received. He was very accommodating and I would recommend his service for others who may come across any driving or ticketing complications.

Experience

Rating:  10.0 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in PA, 2003

updated on 04/08/2014

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Pennsylvania.

Suspension issued in NJ, 2002

updated on 10/13/2017

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Daniel’s comment:

“Years prior to 2002, I was party to a real estate deal. One of the other parties claimed that I had represented myself as their attorney, even though I hadn't. It was judged by the bar at that time that as an attorney, I should have given notice in writing that I was not representing the party who alleged otherwise. Having practiced law for more than 30 years, this is a mistake that I own. I always represent my clients with integrity. If you have any questions, please contact me.”
