T -boned Toyota tundra accident, Great Legal team

I got t-boned one morning on my way to work when someone didn’t stop at a stop sign and I found myself being a victim of a car accident for the second time, my first experience I took no action, and I do regret that. I was not sure what to do but Mr. Bergman educated me on everything when it came to ...the claims process and healing after being injured in a car accident. I found Mr. Bergman on Avvo as I have found many attorneys using that platform and I couldn’t stop reading his marvelous reviews. His team was great of taking action on my case, being proactive in the entire process and communicated with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his team to take care of any injury claim the person reading this may find themselves in, his is the best in the business.

Muy buen abogado

Fui victima en un accidente de auto y mi amigo que era conductor ya era cliente del Sr. Bergman y llevamos nuestro caso con el. El abogado es muy bueno en su representación contra los seguros y pudo sacar un buen asentamiento por el caso que tuve. También el abogado me recomendó a buenos doctores par...a cuidar de mis heridas por causa del accidente. Los recomiendo si han estado en accidente de auto.

Two Cases with Mr. B

I have had the pleasure of being represented by Mr. Bergman for two car accidents, and both cases had wonderful resolutions. Since I re-injured my pre-existing injuries from my first car accident, I was in worse shape and needed more care to get me back to my baseline. After some time, I was not feel...ing better and Mr. Bergman recommended me to a different doctor to further help me and someone he has a lot of confidence in, and I am so grateful for the guidance because it really help me feel better. Other than that, the settlement that Mr. Bergman was able to get for my case was great and I am fully confident that he is the most well equipped and caring attorney in the field for victims who have been injured. Call Mr. B, you won’t regret it.

Has Represented Me and My Family!

I was in a car accident while being 6 months pregnant and Mr. Bergman came recommended to me because he has represented many of my family members. Thankfully the accident did not affect my pregnancy and I got the treatment I could get with as far along as I was. We had to deal with Statefarm on the c...ase and they were not trying to settle as fairly with me using a low impact argument against us but Mr. Bergman was able to still achieve a fair settlement for my case. I am happy with the resolution of my case and would recommend Mr. Bergman and his team! Thank you Mr. B!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
