Above the best...look no further for a criminal attorney!

John Beroset is everything I had hoped to find when our son was recently arrested and charged with a felony. Initially I went to my own attorneys who are among the highest priced litigators in Florida but fired them after a month. They failed to invest enough of their time or to keep me informed. ...Desperate for help, I turned to another attorney friend who simply said, "If it were my child, I would hire John Beroset." We are so thankful we received that advice. Within 10 minutes of meeting John, I knew we had the right attorney. John is direct and honest and made only one promise...to do his very best. Throughout our 10 month ordeal, John kept in constant personal contact with us, giving us his cell number and never leaving us to go through an assistant or paralegal. It was always prompt, personal contact, directly to John. John advised us along the way and devoted his complete attention to our son's case. John knows the state attorneys and has their respect and admiration. His likable and humble demeanor no doubt helped secure better options from the state than other attorneys might have gotten. Our son's charges will be dropped very soon and his life given back to him because of the hard work and constant vigilance by John Beroset. I have thanked him over and over and he just says that it's his job. That's just the way John is....and why we will be forever grateful to our friend who recommended him. Thank you, John!!

Crazy Case but never gave up on it

He works well with his clients and communicates with his clients very well he was very knowledgeable when it came to us knowing nothing about the case was wrongfully accused but John made sure to get the job done right. Would recommend him to anyone and if it ever came down to it would use him again....

Leader in the profession!

In my opinion, John Beroset is one of the top rated criminal lawyers in Florida. We hired Mr. Beroset to defend our son on criminal charges. He was facing serious felony charges and serious prison time. Mr. Beroset went to bat for him. Watching him at work in the courtroom is truly something to be a...dmired. His skill and demeanor is what makes him the best. He is truly among the most respected in his field. Mr. Beroset still calls my son to check on him and see how he’s doing. You will not go wrong hiring John Beroset.

The best of the best.

Great attorney, great staff, great experience. John Beroset was extremely honest and was willing to do what ever it took. He made sure to keep me informed and seemed to always call me before I could even call him. If your looking for an extremely trust worthy, easy to connect with, knows his stuff..., and just an all around great lawyer than this is the man for you.

You will not be disappointed!

I hired John for a criminal charge. He surpassed my expectation when it came to a lawyer and his knowledge of the law. He did not back down and fought till the end.

"We don't hang out together, work together on cases and I can't recall ever having seen John outside of the court arena, but I probably have - didn't make much of an impression. Inside of the courtroom? Three words: Board Certified Specialist. Frankly, someone's "Avvo rating" or "client reviews" really don't matter that much to me. To put it bluntly, things like that can be gamed. But BCS? No way. Specialization cannot be gamed - it's governed by the Florida Bar. John is probably one of the youngest if not THE youngest Board Certified Specialist in Florida. So, we may not hang out, have drinks together or socialize, but I've seen him where it matters to you most: in the courtroom. When you see him in that arena, you see why he is a BCS - yes, he's that good."
