Inspring Attorney

Scott Bermack is a consummate professional with a level of enthusiasm for his work that is simply inspiring. As my attorney, I couldn't help but be confident that I had the best counsel possible. From the moment we first spoke, I became hopeful that David really could beat Goliath. Mr. Bermack ...not only inspired me, but each time we had the floor the jury would awaken, sit up and lean in to hear this charismatic, yet authentic and highly prepared attorney state my case . Mr. Bermack's enthusiasm coupled with his wits, his professionalism gave me and others, a whole new perspective on what an attorney is and should be. Mr. Bermack is a credit to his professional and an exemplary representative for what all attorneys should aspire to be.

Excellent litigator.

I worked for a commercial insurance carrier handling litigation cases all over the country including New York. Scott is by far one of the best attorneys I have worked with. We mediated dozens of cases together and Scott's preparation and professionalism is always exceptional. He has also tried severa...l of my cases getting excellent results. This includes a complex snow/ice case in the fall of 2015 that resulted in a defense verdict. I highly recommend Scott and his team.

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.
