Michael John Berman

He helped me with my dui case. Even though it was my first offense I was really nervous about it. But he made me feel comfortable and let me know that everything would be alright. That being said I had a great outcome. He is awesome at what he does. Highly recommended for sure.

I cought a DUI it was like a 4th charge I chose this firm because of its reputation & I haven't been let down they done represented me 3xs. As a result of the lawyer work I served NO JAIL TIME NONE!!! As of the outcome I got a new least on life I recommend this firm over all you can't go wrong.

Amazing Counsel for my darkest night, attorney Michael Berman’s strategies to my DUI Case resulted in a not guilty verdict. I highly recommend Michael Berman and Alpert Schreyer LLC to anyone facing criminal cases and especially DUI/DWI, as this is one of the firm's focus areas. Michael works hard to get the best possible outcome based on the facts and merits of each individual case and your completion of the mitigation assignments. I could not be more grateful and appreciative of attorney Michael Berman and the paralegals Keri, Sandy, and Reana, especially Keri, who was able to hold my hand and help to keep me calm throughout the arduous process. In addition, the firm attorneys have proven their experience and expertise, and conduct educational classes to other Maryland Attorneys on how to manage DUI/DWI cases.

Michael Berman was amazing he got me the best case scenario out of the whole court room. I had a theft charge and no one left with a better situation than myself with me doing my own community service with no probation officer and. Big thanks to him and his Firm. 10/10 would recommend. They made my life easier and bow i get to continue on and working hard because they made it possible for me to carry on my everyday life and responsibilities

This was the second time Michael Berman represented me and it was another 5/5 experience! I had several warrants in Anne Arundel county related to driving infractions and failure to appear. A day or two after contacting Mr. Berman, all the warrants were removed which took a huge weight off of my shoulders. Mr. Berman and his team scheduled a court date about 6 months out at the Anne Arundel court which gave me plenty of time to complete tasks like community service and some driving classes to present to the judge. A couple of days before my court case I tested positive for covid and couldn't fly from Florida to Maryland to attend my court hearing. Mr. Berman had all my pending charges cleared with the judge without me having to attend, and is assisting me with getting my driving record cleared up. Warrants removed, all charges cleared, didn't have to fly in for court. Can't ask for a better outcome than that. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Hopefully I won't need his representation in court in the future, but if you find yourself with legal issues in Anne Arundel County I HIGHLY recommend contacting this law firm and asking for Michael Berman.

Mr Berman prepared me and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire proceeding. He displayed his strategic thoughts and knowledge of Law and communicated with me consistently. I am so thankful that he achieved a successful and outstanding outcome for me.

I can't recommend Mr. Berman enough! We selected his firm for a very difficult car accident case. Mr. Berman & his team kept us informed through-out the entire process and pushed through all the way to the end with outstanding outcome. Give him a call! He is absolutely great to work with!

I am so thankful for Mr. Berman. He beat my Dui case, and it is no longer on my record! I am a Nurse so this was very important to me. He was very thorough and knew what lingo to use in the courtroom. I am so happy I found him online through other past client reviews. 5 stars!

Micheal Berman communicated with consistently throughout my suit. He answered all of my questions. He made me feel confident in prep so that when we went to court I was prepared. He negotiated a fair settlement on my behalf. I would recommend Micheal Berman to family and friends.

Mike is an outstanding attorney. He is adept at the law, strategic in thought, and well prepared for any contingencies. The case should have never happened and he quickly developed a strategy to achieve the most favorable outcome for me. I chose Mike because he was recognized as one the top DWI attorney's in Maryland and he did not disappoint. His approach, attention to detail, understanding of the law, and keen sense to leverage even the smallest details resulted is a dismissal on all traffic charges. The investment was worth the time and effort and I highly recommend Mike with enthusiasm.

I found the firm of Alpert, Schuyer and Poe based off reviews and they were one of the firms that did not send advertising mailers. Michael Berman’s team was diligent and attentive. They soothed my anxieties and reassured me everything was going to be alright. Mr Berman and his team set me up with a list of tasks to complete and supported me the whole way. I was not convicted on my charges and had the optimum outcome. Mike was honest and realistic and kept me abreast the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Mr Berman and his firm to anyone who was in need of representation. Thank you again and I will never forget it!

In Sep of 2020, my life came to an halt. I was being faced with multiple DUI charges and then some, after being in an car accident. Knowing what I had at stake: family, career, clearance, etc… I immediately began my quest to find representation, realizing this was a serious matter. After googling, screening multiple lawyers and firms, I can honestly say I have read over a 100+ reviews before coming to my decision, one that was well worth it. After my search was completed, I contacted Mr Berman and the Alpert Schreyer & Poe law firm , immediately I felt at home they were welcoming, professional and very experienced with over 30+ years in these kind of cases. I didn’t hesitate to retain them, they explained the process and assured me they worked as a team to get the best possible outcome for any case. Shortly after I received my mitigation plan, the infamous “Homework” lol funny now but it works, and if you follow the outline to the T you only makes your defense that much stronger. Once all that was done we received the first court date which was postponed, a second that was continued, so I guess the third times a charm. A week before court I spoke to Mr Berman to get the final run through of what the day would be like and to see if I had any further questions for him before trial. Morning of trial we met 30 min before our scheduled hearing time to again go through the plan of action and to see if I had any final concerns/questions, he was well prepared. Really nice guy, smooth as butter. Our case was then called and though he’s a very nice guy he went into battle mode and to say the least I was amazed and slightly dumb struck at the way he performed. The whole court was amazed. The way how he paid attention to the smallest details and dissect the case to a skeleton, he left nothing out, he really knows the law and is very much comfortable going to trial to fight for you. In the end after Mr Berman’s outstanding representation, my case was ultimately dismissed. I cannot thank him enough, now I have my life back and can now put all this behind me. If you should ever need representation Mr Berman is the guy. I would definitely refer him and his firm to any friends and family, he actually cares about his clients and will do anything in his power to get you the best outcome possible for your case.

Berman and his office were stellar litigators. I was charged with drunk driving and driving under the influence of cannabis. Berman was able to get me cleared of both charges. Prior to my trial he advised me on a number of mitigation activities in the event of a bad outcome including PAAD, MADD, and a weekend at Right Turn Impact. After he received the discovery, he plainly told me that we will not plea guilty and why he feels the State had a weak case. The entire process was very comforting. He is a very knowledgeable lawyer from a technical standpoint and was able to find a variety of mistakes the state made to bring this outcome. He had several plans that he shared with me, including a number of contingency plans. He was able to bar the Drug Recognition Officer from testifying via issues with discovery. When questioning the officer, he was able to find a number of inconsistencies in the police report, and was not shy to object to subjective testimony. Very talented lawyer. You will not make a mistake hiring this man.

Back in Feb 2021, I was charged with a DUI. After consulting a few firms I choose Alpert Schreyer & Poe. Mainly because their team put my worry at ease and provided me with step by step guidance on how to prepare for my day in court. When my day in court arrived we were far more prepared than the State. So much that they chose not to try the case and it was thrown out. Be that as it may I was presented with the same charges a month before my speedy trial date expired (suspicious right). Without question Alpert Schreyer & Poe took on my case again free of charge which I will be forever grateful for. Mike Berman took on my second case and fought miraculously. On my court date which we were thoroughly prepared for, my trial was postponed. Mike went above and beyond. He actually got ahold of the State’s Attorney, got my case dismissed, when back to the court house, got my disposition signed & filed, and I am now getting this DUI expunged from my record.

One very bad decision led to my second DUI and I was terrified of what would happen next. The next day my wife and I started our search to find a lawyer. We talked to a few but just didn’t feel like they were the right fit.. feeling very rushed. We found the Alpert Schreyer firm and got a call almost immediately after filling out the contact info. That was on a Saturday morning. Immediately we knew we had found the lawyer. They sent us a welcome letter and “homework” to start on. They had a long, carefully thought out list of steps I needed to do in order to better myself and to prove to the judge that I was willing to take the steps to better myself. Even the people at some of the rehab facilities knew them and said I had picked the best. That was very reassuring. Through all the postponements, the paralegals emailed and updated us and kept in contact. They answered questions promptly and were very friendly and reassuring. I was facing a second DUI charge with jail time and Micheal got it down to Negligent Driving with a $265 fine. I am so incredibly thankful to the Alpert Schryer firm and especially Michael! If you are looking for a lawyer, Michael is the best!
