About Richard
Biography
I have been an attorney engaged in Commercial Litigation for 45 recently, when I decided to retire from active practice, my practice consisted of complex litigation all types of business disputes, in real estate, construction defects, breach of contacts, fraud cases, bank disputes and have also spend many years practicing family law and representing creditors in the Bankruptcy Court. I am a Supreme Court Certified Mediator in the Circuit Court in Florida and have mediated complex cases in different disciplines. After retiring and devoting myself to Mediation only, my hourly rate was reduced to $350 per hour from $650 per hour for my commercial litigation practice. My background is very diverse and includes, business disputes, commercial landlord, matters, construction defect cases, all kinds of commercial litigation including breach of contract claims, business separation litigation, eminent domain cases, intra and inter corporate disputes regarding ownership and unlawful competition claims, bad faith in personal injuiry claims, property disputes and much more. I'm using Zoom during the pandemic and then will return to face-to-face mediation or, if the parties agree, I'll serve as an arbitrator.
Very diverse background with a lot of jury and non-jury trials.

"Richard has knowledge and experience in the law that is unparalleled in the South Florida legal community. He is extremely bright and highly intelligent litigator. Richard is someone I would recommend for the most difficult and problematic cases."
"Mr. Berman is well established as an experienced and knowledgeable litigator."
"Richard is an excellent efficient and effective attorney. We were opposing counsel on an international commercial matter plagued with the emotional obstacles of a recent divorce. As a direct result of counsels ability to remain objective and respectful to each others' loyalties, both sides succeeded with a cost effective settlement that provided a final end to a difficult relationship. I look forward to working with Mr. Berman again, and recommend him as counsel for opposing parties."
