Great Experience

I hired Vera for my lenghtly divorce. Back in 2011. I have since consulted with her on a couple of different locations. When things arise post divorce. I can always get a hold of her, she always responds in an expedited manner. And I appreciate everything she has done for me. If you need advice,... should retain her services, or anything else in family matters. Vera is the one for you!

Review of my lawyer

Vera and her staff were excellent ......Vera spent quality time to lay down the laws and options. She even realized that I was not ready to get divorced and helped to see a social worker for myself. I spent some time weekly with social worker and after 2 months was ready but then had a second chanc...e to get back together with my husband and she returned my retainer fee. I was most definitely use Vera in the future if needed and didn’t feel taken advantage of! Thank you Vera and staff!

Tenacious for her clients

I contacted Vera based on her reviews (back in the spring of 2014) after being served divorce papers. She took the time to understand my situation and came up with a plan for me. Vera or her amazing staff were easily available to answer any questions I had and helped make a stressful situation much e...asier to deal with. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend anyone to give her a call.

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.
