I didn't listen before - -She was right! Now I am listening!

A the beginning of my divorce, I consulted Ms. Bergermann for advice. I received wise and solid counsel, which I naively ignored, did not follow and did not hire her for my attorney. Fast forward -- FOUR years after divorce is finalized; I am returning to Ms. Bergermann to take me and ex- back into... mediation. The aspects of the divorce & life after divorce that she warned me that I ignored, all came into reality. I regret my decision back then. I would like to warn others of relying on their own ability to emotionally remain objective during a divorce. I was certain I could ...and I was wrong. Thankfully, Ms. Begermann is more than capable of putting my best interests into place. She now has my attention & my ear. I am listening. Thank you!

Amazing! The Best Attorney I Ever Had!

Vera was everything thing I hoped she would be. She is smart, understanding , objective and truly wanted the best outcome for me . She was my third lawyer and my last hope for getting a good outcome for myself. She was attentive and exceeded my expectations of the results she obtained for me . Being ...a high income earner, I felt like a sitting duck waiting to be cooked well done. Vera brought many options my way , gave me the facts and the scenarios that lay ahead based on Florida Divorce Law. She was very responsive to my emails and questions , and did not let my emotions and fears get the better of me . She put things into perspective for me and guided me to the right decision. We eventually settled, and it turned out better than I ever expected. In my case , it was not about winning anything, it was about damage control and I have to say Vera is the best at it. Other lawyers I felt either acted like they did not care and sent me bills and others just wanted me to take the road of least resistance which would have cost me double for much longer period of time .if I had listened to him/her. Thankfully I found Vera, her hourly rate was fair for her expertise and many years of experience. She cost effective , being cognizant of the expenses. She was able to think outside the box, that is why I ended up with a great settlement. Another problem had arisen out of the divorce , which she also got involved with , which was a bit outside the divorce scope, but she took it on and she won the case for me . She is my go to lawyer for divorce. If you just listen to her without letting your emotions make decisions for you, She will guide you in the right direction. There are no magic words, just be open minded. Divorce is a difficult time , stimulating many emotions such as anger, regret, sadness, and feeling vengeful at times . But if you can put those aside, be objective and listen to Vera and let her guide you, she will get you the best result available for your specific situation. Thank you Vera, I could get on with my life now and move forward. The hardest part of divorce is finding a divorce attorney that cares about your case in a sincere way, not going to clean out your bank account and be sharp , smart and knows what they are doing. I got everything I wanted in Vera Bergerman. Thank you Vera!!!

The Best! She Knows What is Best for Her Client

Vera, returned my call the same day I called her office and left a message for her. I was unable to discern for myself what was in my best interest, but Vera knew exactly what I would need to move forward with my life. Vera managed every aspect of my divorce beautifully. Thank you, Vera, for looking ...out for me.

You want her on your side!!!

I had an extreme case and very lengthy, exhausting divorce process. My ex husband was manipulating, narcissistic, and a sociopath! Vera and her team were there with me every step of the way! She was very honest and open with me and let me know what was happening through each process. She let me know ...what I needed to believe from my ex and what to ignore. She KNOWS FAMILY LAW AND KNOWS IT WELL!!!! She believed in me and what is just!!! Vera was very straight forward from day one! I honestly feel like the Bergermann team has become apart of mine and my sons family. If you want a lawyer that will go all the way and work diligently for you, then hire Vera Bergermann!! You will not be disappointed!

Very dissapointing choice

BEVARE OF THIS LAWER !!!!! After initial bragging how great she is and putting lot of dirt on opposing counsel she produced average results . This Lawyer FAIL TO NOTIFY me about date and time of my divorce trial . I was contacted by text message by my now former wife telling me how come am not presen...t in court room where they waiting on me with judge . I have called Vera's office to inquire what's going on and why I was no notify . Due this FAIL I was ordered by judge to pay my ex wife's lawyer fees for 3 H waiting time(over 1600$) and later i have found out that even my own lawyer who should protect my interests CHARGED me money for her own FAILURE !!!! Vera even told judge that it was MY FAULT I have not been there !!!!!! After paying many thousands of dollars to Vera she did not even have enough decency to acknowledge that she was in wrong and compensate me for it. I don't care about the money but simple : Sorry it was my fault ! will be at that time sufficient . I'm very disappointed I have hired this lawyer

English is not this person's first language. Had this former client come in to prepare for trial two weeks before and then he says that he did not know when his trial was being held. We have implemented a new procedure to prevent such claims in the future. We got him a great result--he doesn't tell you that he's getting more money coming in from the ex than he has to pay out. We did such a great job that the other side tried to get the judge to reconsider and change the ruling. We won that one, too. Maybe that's why we got "excellent" scores from him in three out of four categories--or maybe it's because of the language issue. Can't please all the people all the time.
