Law Firm of Robert Berkun - Only use Attorney Brian Wood

Attorney Brian Wood handled my 'slip and fall' case with professionalism, integrity and an abundance of eagerness to constantly ensure that I was kept apprised with any updates. He readily took my calls or returned them timeously and always sought my 'go ahead, okay' before executing any ideas with t...he opposing defense. Over the 2 years of getting to know him, he became a friend, proudly sharing another side to him, the 'family man' he is, photos of his young family, including his wife, daughter and new born son. He is part of the Robert Berkun Law Firm, and should not be judged according to the posted reviews about this law firm. Fortunately, you will not have to encounter any communication with Berkun. I highly recommend Attorney Wood, and rate him with the 5 stars above.

Red Flags

Tripped on a parking lot pothole fractured my hand. Left him two phone calls and one e-mail no response. His receptionist yawned while on the phone with me no apology. The firm lacks professionalism and common courtesies. He is more concerned with his billboards and his name on a bus than running... a reputable law firm. Stay away.

Slip in Fall

I fractured my Left shoulder and Right hip feom a place that is known for not keeping the snow clear. I swear he was in cahoots with the property owners and basically was lied too and barely got anything for what a endured. I do not recommend him at all. Absolute BS.

Think twice

Mr. Berkun represented me on a case where I suffered a knee injury that required surgery due to a negligent property owner. The case ultimately went to trial, where I discovered that he was so unprepared in the case that he was still asking me questions just before the trial started and during his pr...esentation he quoted snowfall totals that were so unrealistic, that I'm sure the jury rejected his case right then and there.
