Very Satisfied
Mr. Berger is very knowledgeable, as he walked me through the Municipal Court process, he let me know what to expect. I received my desired outcome. I would use Mr. Berger's services again and I will recommend him to anyone that I know who is seeking legal advice.

Got 2 traffic tickets!
Communicated clearly with me about each and everything that was going/ could happen. I really appreciate how he didn’t leave me in the blind about a single thing and took his time to make sure everything was to my liking. Great guy! I’d definitely recommend him!

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.
Reciprocal - Suspension issued in PA, 2003
updated on 04/08/2014This 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 10/13/2017Suspension 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.
“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.”
