I thought I might get to speak with someone local who was familiar with the local laws and I wasn't really given the best advice on what to do in this scenario. But was helpful about what company to contact online to help out.

A Genuine Godsend! Daniel Marc Berman was the best person to have entered my life at that moment in time.

OMG! Where to start. . . . This is the the most appropriate, and well informed individual I could ever have had represent my interests. I sought out Mr. Berman because of his expertise in having dealt with landlord tenant issues prior to being my personal injury attorney which meets my needs as we...ll. A more precise and most well placed faith in a person's appropriate qualifications, and my proper utilization of this gentleman Mr. Daniel Marc Berman's due diligence could not have been more fervently sought out. That moment of vulnerability, opportunity and necessity left me being so very legally exposed in my life, yet I was never more confident than I was with Dan on my side. Of the four attorneys I've had the opportunity to have had contractual agreements with, Mr. Berman has been the most responsible. He kept me informed at every turn. Daniel returned my phone calls expeditiously when called upon to do so and Daniel is the most honest man I've met in Florida. I could not be more pleased by an individual's professionalism and industriousness.

I would hire Daniel Marc Berman again.

He is very understanding, knows what his client is going though, and most of all he fights for you. I will recommend Daniel M. Berman to my family, friends and everyone that reads this review. He's the best accident Lawer in FL.

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.
