Mr. Bergman took Allstate to Court and then to the cleaners for me!

I was in a rear end collision where Allstate sent me a property damage check that didn’t cover my damage and then decided to deny my claim. I was hurt and had medical bills that I now owed and was going into collections. I found Mr. Bergman right here on AVVO and he sued for me in PG County and when... Allstate did everything to delay the case and avoid doing any discovery, Mr. Bergman got a hearing on the problem and then their nasty defense counsel got scolded in front of a judge for their conduct. They then decided to settle with me approporiately, but not before Mr. Bergman took them to the cleaners in front of the Judge and that is the kind of care that makes Mr. Bergman a great attorney for his clients.

The attorney you want by your side!

I was rear-ended on Dulles Toll Rd while i was 7 months pregnant. Scott was referred to me by my chiropractor who I 200% trust. Everything he said about Scott was accurate. He fought hard for my case and increased the settlement from GEICO by 30%. I strongly recommend this attorney.

Great attorney and he got me a very nice settlement!

Mr. Bergman and his associates were able to help me get the most out of my settlement and I was pleased with the entire process from beginning to end and in a bad situation dealing with a nasty company like State Farm that didn't care a bit about my injuries when the claim was filed.

Posted by Kierra | September 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney

Great work and professionalism dealing with my injury case against Allstate

I was involved in a bad accident by a DUI driver who deserved to go to jail and eventually did for being a repeat offender in Montgomery County MD. Scott handled my case against AllState very well as they were very difficult to deal with and he and his staff were on top of what was going on at all t...imes, including my medical care and made sure my billing from the medical care was completely covered. Scott’s staff worked very well in keeping my claim moving with Allstate to an amicable resolution of my injury claim. I would recommend Scott and his firm to anyone who needed help in a injury case like myself.

Mr. Bergman got me a great settlement for a nightmare slip and fall injury at a nationally known buffet restaurant chain.

Last year, I had a family dinner at a big buffet chain restaurant that is a national name brand. The buffet is usually pretty good with the service for my family. On this occasion however the restaurant staff was not properly cleaning up food left around the buffet and I had a horrible fall on some... food that was on the floor next to the buffet. The fall was so bad I needed to go to the hospital by ambulance. The restaurant management showed no care. I can not mention the name fo the restaurant because of my settlement agreement otherwise I would. After days of trying to get the restaurant to help me, they refused calling me back. So I went online and found Mr. Bergman on AVVO and called him. He promptly called me back and told me that he could help me. He told me slip and fall cases are not easy but believed he could get the restaurant’s insurance to pay for my injuries. Mr. Bergman made sure that I was given good attention from his office and that I got excellent medical care to recover for my injuries. At the end, Mr. Bergman got me a settlement agreement that could cover my medicals and my pain and suffering from this horrible night that I would love to forget, I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Bergman for anyone who needs help like I needed help for my injuries.
