Posted by James Disbrow | October 02, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Not understanding this

Daniel Berger is the kind of attorney everyone needs. He is a genuine PERSON, who cares about his clients well being ,he went above and beyond representing me on more than one occasion, made multiple appearances on my cases to get me the best deal, without money being a factor. In fact he showed up t...rusting hed be paid, took payment plans at my convenience, never made money an issue while giving me the best representation that I could ask for, never pressured me to take a deal, prepared to appear at no cost, allowing me extra time plan payment schedule and seemed to really care for me, as a client....I would and do, refer him to anyone needing an honest and caring lawyer, without judging. ABSOLUTELY my choice for anything involving dui, dwi and suspension cases, and hes straight forward, couldn't ask for better representation at reasonable price...Thank you Daniel Berger

Highly recommend

I was facing 11 points and Mr. Berger was able to get it down to just 2 points. Communication was constant throughout the process and he was very personable. 10/10 would recommend!

Quality lawyer at affordable price

I contacted Attorney Daniel Berger in a time of stress and confusion because of serious motor vehicle violations. The moment we spoke he gave me peace of mind by telling me the possible outcome of my case. As Mr.Berger predicted, my case was dismissed and I couldn’t thank him enough for this. If you ...ever need aggressive representation at an affordable price, dont hesitate to hire him.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Berger was very professional and extremely helpful. He explained everything in a way I could understand and was very reassuring.

Daniel, Good guy

I gave Daniel a call because of he said he’d match my lowest rate. At first I thought to myself, just like a tattoo, lower the rate and payment, the less of quality I’ll receive, but it was for sure not like that. Whatsoever. He pulls everyone aside and speaks individually to you about your case and ...does best to understand it and get you the best deal. I wasn’t so lucky, but I did see the effort, and for that I can’t appreciate that more. Good dude, good firm, does their best for a lot cheaper than the others. Definitely recommend this firm.

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.”
