The absolute best - in talent, experience and reputation

Jerry was my attorney through a very difficult, protracted divorce from a truly unreasonable person. His guidance was ALWAYS correct, and he knew from experience which battles to fight, and which would be expensive and futile, no matter how upset I was. Perhaps of most value is his reputation in the ...county courthouses. He has such a reputation as a reasonable attorney with reasonable solutions and proposals, someone who clearly has talked clients down from the ledge and gotten them to be realistic. This means that when he proposes a settlement or a solution, everybody listens. THIS is the person to have on your side. Yes, sometimes it's hard to hear, "you're absolutely right, but you'd be wasting your time and money and we would not win that point." But he's right. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Extraordinary Abilities, Experienced and Well Known, Familiar with the Judiciary, Great Court Presence, Compassionate Counsel

I retained Mr Berschler based on his reputation and several recommendations that held him in the highest regard. He is known for his extensive expertise in all phases of family law and domestic relations. I interviewed several lawyers and he was by far the one I felt most comfortable with ...and won my confidence. My situation was highly complex and contentious. After I hired him I found his advice to be spot on and consistently impressed me with his vast knowledge of the numerous personal, financial and litigation issues that arise in a divorce. I found him very competent and professional and has practiced before an all the judges in the Family Court and was familiar with the court personnel. Moreover, his extensive experience anticipated and illuminated the issues important to the court and allowed for proper preparation in advance of the numerous hearings in my case. The communications and support from him and his staff was thorough and consistent throughout the litigation process. He looked out for me and made me feel protected. His calm demeanor and compassion helped reduce the stress and anxiety that accompanied my divorce. I couldn't ask for a better advocate, adviser and confidant. I can recommend Mr Berschler without reservation. I am very so very grateful for him on my side.

Unusually compassionate person who happens to practice law.

Jerry has handled quite a few personal injury cases for me and several of my friends over the years. In all cases, he was truly advocating for the underdog and went far and beyond to seek relief and ensure medical and occupational parity. Additionally, I have called him to help with all kinds of l...egal issues, e.g disputes with auto insurance companies, family custody arrangements and other issues that require sensitive expertise such as his. In all cases, Jerry focused his incredible energy on the human side of the issue as well and worked diligently to equitably enable us to work out situations that would have been intolerable without his support. Ethical, supportive, smart, witty...we count him as a family friend!
