Michael John Berman

Before coming to Alpert Schreyer, I was facing one of the most difficult moments of my life. I had been charged with a 2nd DUI after being stopped on the wrong side of the road, failing the sobriety test, being arrested, and refusing the breathalyzer. I was terrified about what this meant for my futu...re and unsure of where to turn. I chose Alpert Schreyer because, from the very first call, their team stood out. Jason Miller initially took my case and immediately put me at ease. I got misleading information from other attorneys in Frederick MD which I found out from Jason Miller. I knew then and there I needed to go with Alpert Schreyer’s firm. Jason Miller gave me his personal number, answered every single call, and if he ever missed one, he would always call me back—no matter the time. The firm’s staff were just as reliable, answering the phone every time and making sure I never felt left in the dark. That level of communication and dedication was unlike anything I expected. Ultimately, my case was placed in the hands of Michael Berman, and I truly could not have asked for a better attorney. Mr. Berman fought tirelessly for me. He was prepared, strategic, and incredibly knowledgeable—someone who clearly knows the law inside and out. In court, he was nothing short of a superhero. Against all odds, he took my case to trial and won. Everything was acquitted meaning nothing is on my record, it looks like I never got arrested. Because of Michael Berman and the team at Alpert Schreyer, I walked away without a conviction that could have derailed my entire life. The outcome has given me peace of mind and the chance to move forward without the weight of a 2nd DUI charge holding me back. I am beyond grateful to this firm for their professionalism, their compassion, and their relentless commitment to their clients. If you’re ever in need of legal representation, I cannot recommend Alpert Schreyer and Michael Berman highly enough. They don’t just represent you—they fight for your future.

Working with Mike after our car accident was one of the best decisions we could have made. He didn’t just handle our case; he became a trusted advocate who truly cared about our situation. Mike took the time to explain every option available to us and never hesitated to answer our questions. His e...xpertise shone through as he pursued avenues for compensation that we didn’t even think were possible—like negotiating with an insurance company we were sure wouldn’t pay out. When it came time for our deposition, his preparation and guidance made us feel confident and ready. One thing that really set Mike apart was his diligence in reducing our health insurance liens. This extra effort made a huge difference in the final outcome, and it’s a testament to the level of care he puts into his work. Thanks to Mike, we received a settlement that has transformed our lives as a young married couple. It’s given us financial stability and peace of mind after such a difficult experience. Mike isn’t just a great lawyer—he’s someone you can trust to fight for you. We’ll always be grateful for his hard work and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal help.

Michael is an exceptional lawyer! I really thought my life was going to change in a negative way for a criminal charge that I received. This wasn't a DUI or DWI charge, and so please understand Michael's legal counsel goes much beyond what the firm he works at is known for. He made me feel relaxed a...nd confident right in the beginning when we discussed my situation. And assured me everything was going to be fine and not to worry. Letting me know he was here to help. He even asked me how I was sleeping lately and said, "well tonight you you can start sleeping like a baby! Don't you worry, I got you." His experienced as a Maryland State Attorney certainly showed up in court by single handedly taking control of the courtroom. He even impressed the judge with how he handled business. After everything was put on record and approved by the judge, the judge expressed to Michael, "good job counsel!" Almost like the judge was reminiscing about himself when he was a lawyer and how he got the best outcome for his client. Do yourself a favor. If you need legal counsel for ANYTHING, hire Michael Berman. He won't disappoint.

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!

I am from out of state and I was drinking and driving after a celebration with some friends. I had told the officer I had drank but at the same time I had refused the breathalyzer. I thought my life was doomed and that I had made a terrible mistake denying the breathalyzer. But Mr. Berman and the fir...m guided me through this overwhelmingly nerve wrecking experience. I did absolutely everything they had told me and attended every alcohol education course. And yes, those classes are helpful please take them seriously. Mr. Berman got me zero points, PBJ, and unsupervised parole. He was absolutely kind and honest and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. He’s a genuinely a terrific attorney to have on your side.
