Valencia Oliver

Mr. Bereston and Kristina seidel are professional and compassionate. They really take the care and concern necessary for the case. I felt super appreciated, respected and free emotionally to embrace my process of grieving because they set the atmosphere for me that said let us handle the legal issues... you take care of yourself and they did this with I including us the whole way through they are truly great people. Thank you

Brilliant lawyer who also cares deeply

He's a brilliant lawyer, which is good. What makes him great is that he cares! Him and Kristina were such a blessing to our family. A positive experience from the start. He found things other lawyers did not find. Those things were not all easy to find out. He delivered hard to hear facts about th...e case in as good a way as you could hope. After embarrassing the defense he set up my daughter to be taken care of for the rest of her life! We don't have to worry about her being put in a home to be forgotten. What I like the most is that he didn't stop caring after he got paid. He regularly reaches out to check in. I did not expect this!

Review for Michael Bereston

Michale was great to work with because he made a point to make me feel comfortable by explaining things in a way I could understand them. I appreciate his calm, kind and possitive attitude. He always had time for me and was very good about following up so I knew what was going on every step of t...he way. I felt I could trust him which meant a lot. I also felt he really cared about my concerns and wanted to do the right thing. He makes a point to repect your feelings and show sensitivity when he has to deliver information that may be upsetting to a client. I knew I was working with someone who was experienced , knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind.

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.
