Lifesaver

I feel entirely lucky and blessed that a local lawyer referred me to Bruce Berger a couple of years ago when I was having trouble finding an attorney. I had a slip and fall case / premise liability case that was complicated, and no other personal injury lawyer in Atlanta wanted to deal with building... codes, and premise liability law – no one else really would have been competent enough to take my case. But, Attorney Berger saw the merit of my case, and agreed to take it on. He was so skilled at finding experts, and holding the other party accountable, that he won me the highest settlement possible for this particular kind of case. My injury was fairly severe, and I spent 6 days in the hospital on a Morphine pump in agonizing pain as my entire foot/ankle had been broken off my leg. I had 14 pins and screws put in, a metal rod, and was in a wheelchair for 3 months. It was the most depressing and saddest time of my entire life (and it was 6 months after getting married - a time that normally you enjoy as Newlyweds!), and I was in so much pain. Now that Attorney Berger won me this great settlement, it helps to erase the bad feelings I have about this terrible injury due to the Defenses’ negligence, and the fact that I will limp and have arthritis in my ankle my whole life. Just know that - when you hire him as your lawyer - you are getting the absolute best in the field, and I would dare to say the best Slip and Fall lawyer in the entire country. He and his capable team changed my life for the better, and I will eternally be grateful to him.
