About Craig
Biography
Attorney Craig Berman has been practicing law for more than 30 years. He founded our firm with a focus on employment law and today, we continue to represent plaintiffs struggling with a wide array of related issues.
Prior to founding Berman Law Firm, P.A., in 1998, Mr. Berman worked for corporate law firms representing both plaintiffs and defendants in employment litigation. During that time, he acquired extensive knowledge of employment and contract law and developed effective trial advocacy skills.
While enrolled in law school, Mr. Berman clerked for a plaintiff-only employment law firm and published a law review article in the South Carolina Law Review titled “Whistleblower Protection: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” 43 S.C.Law Rev. 215 (1992).
In the years since then, after founding Berman Law Firm, P.A., he has continued to be a strong force supporting the rights of plaintiffs in challenging cases. For example, we assist employees who are asked to accept weak severance contracts. At our firm, we are diligent to investigate the facts to determine whether a worker has been a target of discrimination or an innovator has experienced infringement of intellectual property (IP).
Understanding a plaintiff’s point of view is essential for effective litigation. In the process of uncovering details of our clients’ cases, we often find the keys to wins through pretrial negotiations or in court. Not all claims need to go to trial, but Mr. Berman is always ready to argue before a judge and jury if it is the most promising way to achieve justice for an employee or a business.

Professional & Trustworthy
Berman Law Firm, P.A. was retained to support two cases. One case was a very nasty employment discrimination suit and the other was a severance issue. I wanted to express my gratitude for Mr. Bermans efforts and dedication for each case. Both cases were long and upsetting processes and Mr. Berman was...

No good
He represented my husband with employee issues and we lost because he didn’t present a good outline nor fight for him. We paid him a lot of money for nothing and after court was over he would not return our phone calls for follow up.
Craig Berman
Replied last August 13, 2018This review is false since my firm has gone to trial and won every case in the last year. I also do not charge "a lot of money" unless we win. I suspect this fake review is retaliation by a person affected by a victory I obtained at trial. I always present a "good outline" and fight for my clients. I also return calls promptly. Such vague and anonymous "complaints" should not be relied on. Call my office for a free consultation and judge for yourself whether I should be retained.

Horrible
Never consulted with me when going in for an offer with opposing counsel. Actually ended up siding with opposing counsel behind my back. Berman is sneaky and he's a liar. Does what he wants without communicating to his client. Never prepared me for a deposition, never kept me informed. He didn't d...
