Vera and her awesome staff took me through a difficult 2yr custody battle. My ex hired a very competent and ruthless attorney who pulled no punches. You know, the kind who could make Ghandi look like the bad guy. We kept our values and morals intact and stuck to the truth and the law. Vera is an ...expert on the fine points of the law and a tough fighter in court. Today, I have virtually equal time sharing, a whomping $5 a month support order, summer vacation time for interstate travel, parental decision making over schooling, a great relationship with my daughter and the knowledge that we did it the honest way. One thing I would pass on that I learned is this: part of a bid for custody is ....my ex did this....... The other part is: I'm the right choice because......... From our first meeting, Vera coached me on how to become the person the judge would be looking for so he would be able to give me what I wanted. I believe that the person I presented in court was the reason I did so well in the final result and that person was a direct result of how well Vera understands the system. I would strongly recommend Vera Bergermann to anyone needing a family court attorney.

Vera has represented me on both civil law and family law matters numerous times for many, many years. Because of her background in tax law, her knowledge of finance is exceptional. However, it is her decency and efforts to protect her clients without exploiting them or the situation, that elevate...s her in my eyes. (Read, not a self serving, fee builder). Vera is a highly credentialed, principled, and very smart woman who has good rapport with other attorneys as well as the Judges she appears before. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT when you are the client. A combination of being easy going, yet very professional and particularly impressive when firing off well thought out and very effective questions in the courtroom, I consider Vera not only a trusted representative, but more importantly, a trusted friend.

Vera rescued my children from an abusive mother, getting me full custody. Her knowledge of and experience with the court system was invaluable--she knows the ins and outs and how to make things happen in her clients' favor. Most importantly, her greatest concern throughout the entire matter was wha...t was in the best interests of the kids. Not only is Vera the best Family Law attorney in southwest FL, she truly cares about her clients and works hard to do what is best for them. I checked, there are a lot of lawyers in the area who charge more but don't work as hard or win as many cases as Vera. Lawyers aren't cheap, so spend your money wisely and go with the best --Vera Bergermann!

Vera and her staff made a very stressful episode in my life easy to tackle. With this firm you receive a level of personal service I have never experienced before! Vera's knowledge of family law matters is outstanding in all aspects. Be it mediation or trial matters. Specifically Vera was ab...le to achieve all of my goals in this case. 1) Resolved my issue with the original time share arrangements. This was no easy task as my child's mother was determined to keep the time share arrangement as is. This was impacting my child's life with several negative impacts. The outcome is simple. My child is now able to attend the extra curricular activities he desired so much to be a part of. 2) Resolved my issue with my ex wife's designation of residential parents for school assignment . Another big win for Vera. I kmow have residential custody of my child. This will allow him to attend a private school that he has wanted to attend for years. 3) Resolved many contentious holiday situations that were a problem because of poor wording by the original attorney . This allows a seamless Holiday season for all involved most importantly my son. 4) Resolved inequitible child support arrangement. This resolution impacts my sons life in so many ways. My child support payments were never spent on my son. Know that money is being spent on education both present and future. In closing you need look no further than The Bergermann Law Firm for family law matters. With Vera you get a distinguished family attorney with the added bonus of a Certified Mediator in one. The staff of Jason and Kim too efficient to be human. A special good job to Kim who always went the extra mile even after the case was settled. This firm will be my sole recommendation to friends and family for Family Law Matters.

I hired Mrs. Bergermann to represent me in a recent dissolution of marriage with children. Her confidence and compassion are apparent from the moment you speak with her you. It is very evident that she is well versed in all aspects of family law. My case was very complicated and involved issues of... child custody and parental responsibility. I couldn’t have found a better, more prepared attorney if I searched the entire state of Florida. Her rates are very reasonable and you’re not just another client. She takes the case personal and is genuinely concerned and focused on the outcome. I have dealt with my share of lawyers, and Mrs. Bergermann is exceptional in all aspects of her career. When she is next to you in the courtroom advocating for your rights, you feel at ease. She walks you through the entire process and makes sure you are prepared and understand what is going on. I am truly grateful for her service!
