Professional and Efficient

Being that I am not a native of Richmond, VA, I had to rely on trusted referrals during my search for legal representation in the area. After being referred to Gary and having a short phone consultation, I retained him as my lawyer without hesitation. He was upfront about legal fee's, procedures, and... expected timelines from start to finish of the case. Similarly, he provided realistic and unbiased scenarios of the outcome for my specific case; and this was key to my own personal understanding, because it helped focus my expectations going forward. My specific case was regarding an auto accident, in which the other driver was at fault. Gary was great at delegating tasks with a deadline for both of us to achieve. This was beneficial because it ensured I remained abreast of any developments in the case. If you are searching for an ethical, efficient, and dependable lawyer in the Richmond area, I have full confidence in recommending Gary Berdeen.

Attentive Attorney for Child Custody Case

I am native to California, but was disputing a child custody case in Virginia. Mr. Berdeen was recommended by a friend after vetting other lawyers in the area. Mr. Berdeen helped me understand and take care of what was needed for me to obtain custody of my niece. It was an uphill battle that Mr. Berd...een helped me take with stride every step of the way. He was attentive to my family's needs. He presented my options and possibilities with a frank and concise manner. Mr. Berdeen gave my case his focus along with his expertise. I am now thankful that I will be enjoying my niece in California. She will be filled with all the love her family has for her here! Thank you! Mr. Berdeen!
