While Mr. Bergman practices in the State of Maryland, Washington, D.C., Massachusetts and Wisconsin, he has developed a handpicked nationwide network of other Law Firms to assist his Firm with cases in other jurisdictions that may need joint legal assistance in other venues outside the DMV metro area.
During his scholastic career, Mr. Bergman worked for the State of Georgia in the State Prosecutor's office, studied abroad and/or held internships at Goteborg University in Sweden, the University of London in England and the HSI Program in Hod HaSharon, Israel just outside Tel Aviv. Mr. Bergman also worked for a British MP in Parliament as a legislative assistant during his time in London. Mr. Bergman has traveled the world extensively giving Mr. Bergman a better understanding of world humanities and his clients who come to his Firm from all over the globe.
