Afterwards, any time I had a question regarding employment questions, he would respond in...
"Michael was a great colleague when we worked together at the State's Attorney's Office as he started his legal career. Now, as a criminal defense attorney, he is one of the individuals I go to quite often to discuss strategy. He has a knack for eloquent solutions and is an excellent trial attorney. I highly endorse Mr. Berman."
"Michael and I were prosecutors in Anne Arundel County together. He was a strong litigator with an excellent court presence. Michael was always thoroughly prepared and able to adapt to new information. He had a strong demeanor with opposing counsel, but able to work out tough cases. I highly recommend Michael Berman."
"As a criminal defense attorney, I had a number of cases with Mike while he was a prosecutor in Anne Arundel County. I quickly learned that he was not one of those attorneys that could be bullied around. Mike is current with the relevant law and not afraid of having a trial. He has maintained those attributes in his transition to criminal defense to vigorously represent his clients. I routinely contact Mike to discuss issues I have in my own cases. I confidently endorse Mike as a qualified and skilled attorney for anyone seeking his services."
"Mr. Berman is a great trial attorney and extremely hard worker. I have seen him in trial and highly recommend him."
"Michael Berman is an incredible attorney and a fierce litigator. He is hardworking, direct and honest with his clients. I have witnessed him be a zealous advocate for his clients both inside and outside of the courtroom. If you have a criminal or personal injury case and need an attorney that will present the best case possible, then Mike is the attorney for you. It is clear that his past experience as a prosecutor has made him a sharper attorney and equipped him with better defense skills and arguments for his clients. I consult with him regularly to discuss legal issues including how criminal charges may affect my clients. I trust him to represent anyone competently and diligently regarding any matter."
"I can personally attest to the fact that Mike Berman is a stellar trial attorney, an extremely sharp legal mind, and a well-respected man of high moral character. As a fellow former prosecutor, i have always observed Mike to be fully prepared, organized, smooth and extremely effective in litigation. He is honest and ethical and unrelenting in pursuing the best outcomes for his clients. He consistently commands respect from judges and the State, navigating every courthouse with confidence and consummate professionalism. I would trust him to represent myself, my family, or my closest friends, without hesitation, and this is quite simply the highest praise i can bestow upon him."
"Mike is a tough, intelligent, highly effective attorney. He is easy to talk to and cares deeply about his clients. His ability to think on his feet makes him an excellent trial attorney. On a personal note, Mike is someone I reach out to regularly to help me think through complex legal issues. He never fails to provide unique insights and approaches."
