About Joshua

Dear Friend:

 

Being involved in an accident can change your life.  Suddenly, you are left scrambling to find doctors and treat your injuries, get your car fixed, and making ends meet, all while coping with painful injuries.

 

The stakes are high for you and your family following an accident- I know from personal experience.  When I was a child, a teenage driver who was late to school ran a red light and changed my family’s life.  In an instant, my father, the main bread-winner in my family, was left permanently disabled.  Instead of stepping up to the plate for my family, the insurance companies did whatever they could to avoid being fair to my father.  It took three years of extreme financial hardship and stress on my family to reach a conclusion.

 

From the moment your claim is reported, the insurance companies will do whatever it takes to minimize your injuries, or worse, avoid paying anything on your claim.  They are armed with a team of lawyers and deep pockets and will use every loophole available against you.  They are in the business of paying as little as possible on claims.

 

Over my career, I have had the honor of representing hundreds of victims when the times were tough after an accident.  I have recovered millions in compensation for my clients over the years, and find nothing more gratifying than knowing how much of a difference I am making in my client’s lives.  From my first client ever, the mother who couldn’t afford a birthday party for her young child due to her lost income, to helping the permanently blinded victim recover her long-term disability benefits, I take pride in knowing that I am trusted to stand up for the victim in their darkest hour.

 

My firm has what it takes to fight on your behalf, and are humbled by the trust our client’s place in us.  Our attorneys are court proven.  We understand what you are going through and will do what it takes to make sure you are fairly compensated for your losses.  If you are the victim of an accident, and do not know where to turn, we invite you to meet with us for a free consultation.  It would be an honor to fight for you and your family.

 

Warmest Regards,

 

 

Joshua S. Berman

Dross & Berman, LLC

Dross & Berman are extremely professional, very prompt with replies via email, an excellent attorneys. Mr. Berman handled several cases of mine and was extremely detailed in his explanations in assisting me to understand the way the legal process works, what to expect, and what your options were. Their customer service is excellent, if you email him he will respond very quickly. This communication is key with Mr. Berman and important to me. It evident that Mr. Berman clearly knows what he is talking about when it comes to personal injury and other legal matters. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic Attorney

Posted by

I totaled my car in Jan 2017, and called Josh's wonderful firm for help. From the minute I spoke to his staff, until the moment I got a settlement from the suit, everyone on his team was courteous, professional, communicative, and made a usually arduous process into a quite easy process to understand and execute. Would recommend this man to anyone that needs help in any legal matter. FIVE STARS!

Car Accident Case

Posted by

Josh Berman was very patient with my case, I had a lot of things happening simultaneously and he followed up consistently and never showed frustration. He helped me always find the solution that was best for me and fit my circumstance, he definitely went the extra mile. I never felt like just another case, I felt like he really cared about me. He was recommended to me by a coworker and I would recommend him myself to everyone in need of his services!

I loved working with Joshua. He was very knowledgeable and confident with his stuff. He was also very transparent. He set realistic expectations and explained why. He was also fast at returning my calls. Actually, he'd be the one to contact me every time to update me on my case. I seldom had to call him. I strongly recommend him.

Top Notch! The team at Dross Berman LLC is outstanding. This firm’s dedication to their attorney-client relationship is unparalleled. From the first phone conversation I had with Josh, it felt like I was his highest priority. The professionalism, attentiveness, and overall persistence in meeting my needs was second to none. I give Dross Berman LLC my highest recommendation to anyone in search of a quality, understanding, efficient, and approachable personal injury attorney. The experience with this respected firm speaks for itself and if I could give it 6 stars I would!

Joshua Berman, Esq. - A truly professional attorney

Posted by

I have had the pleasure of working with Joshua Berman, Esq, on two separate occasions over the past three years. He is extremely professional and at the same time very understanding and works on a personal level with you. Josh does not sugarcoat situations - he explains the strengths and weaknesses of your case and gives sound advise on how to proceed and what to expect the probable outcome to be. In both cases he brought us to mediation and we were pleased with the outcome in both instances - they were in line with his and our expectations. He is focused on the final disposition of the case and not billable hours. I have followed him through two law firms and will continue to do so if he moves again. He is professional, ethical, honest, trustworthy and a pleasant person to work with. I would recommend him highly.

Josh and everyone at his firm did an excellent job with my case. They looked at every angle and detail to ensure that I was being treated fairly by the state. Josh also fought to prove that I was not guilty until in my case rather than looking for the best deal as most lawyers seem to do. The firm is not afraid to fight for you. I also noticed that during my case many lawyers had 2-4 people going to court that day and booked their clients in volume. Josh's firm was a little higher in cost but it is because of the amount of time they spent on me individually rather than taking as many cases as they possibly could. I have nothing but good things to say about Josh and the people who work with him at Rowe Weinstein & Sohn. Thank you!

I highly Recommend Mr. Joshua Berman

Joshua Berman recently represented me during a very difficult lawsuit which just concluded this past May, 2013. He was very knowledgeable about the law, and genuinely concerned about my welfare from start to finish. During the process of my case, there were so many times that I was frustrated due to the opposing sides tactics, and Josh would let me vent out my frustration, always lending an ear and giving me words of encouragement. He spent a lot of time on my case, and it did conclude satisfactory with my receiving the maximum award possible. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone seeking legal help, and should I ever have the need to seek legal advice again, I would not hesitate in retaining him again.

Helped my family tremendously! A life saver!

Our family was in a battle with an insurance company over a homeowner's policy claim resulting from a fire that took place at our home. The first lawyer retained was not handling the case the way we liked....and then we found Josh. Josh comforted us all, made sure we understood what was going on and ultimately achieved a positive result to the case. I'd recommend him (and have recommended him) to anyone I know!
