I chose to utilize Ms Bergermann's services in several mediations and several times in court. My choice to use her multiple times in multiple situations was based on her solid performance and speaks for itself. She was well informed in mediation helping to elucidate both sides of the equation, al...lowing us to present a balanced and fair proposal, increasing the likelihood of resolution. Excellent in mediation. In court Vera was both capable and insightful. I appreciated her counsel "on the fly." Several times mid-testimony I paused and requested her counsel as to how to continue and whether the content I was about to present was appropriate and relevant. In each situation her advice was wise and direct, whether to not share, share completely or perhaps rephrase what I proposed. When she had the floor, the arguments she presented were both fundamental in the sense that they explained a solid legal basis for our position, as well was insightful from the perspective that she brought to light aspects I had overlooked in my preparation. Both Vera and her staff were quite responsive. Staff generally respond within several hours, Vera generally responds within a day or two (outstanding as most good attorney's may be in court on any given day often times for multiple days). We had one negative situation where some filings were late, but the situation was satisfactorily resolved and the outcome of the case was favorable. In the first case in which she represented me, I was noticed of an emergency hearing on a Friday for an upcoming Monday. Ms Bergermann was booked the entire Friday, but agreed to meet that Sunday for several hours to get sufficiently up to speed to represent me and address the court appropriately the next day. It is rare to find a top level attorney in today's fast paced environment willing to make a sacrifice of their own personal family time to represent yours-during their time off-and this for a new client! This is an attribute difficult to quantify into numbers, but priceless. No outcome will be perfect due to the nature of the parties involved (If you were perfect you wouldn't be divorced). I have attempted to recognize the negative parts that I may have contributed to the equation and move forward for the sake of my child(ren), myself and my ex. Vera helped with this process facilitating and encouraging healthy communication between the parties and win/win resolutions. Vera Bergermann is an asset to any team. I would recommend her for counsel.

Vera represented me in a post judgment case. I was very impressed with her knowledge of the law. She was very aggressive when she needed to be. She makes you feel comfortable knowing that you have a tiger on your side. She kept me well informed about what was going on in my case. She was very go...od about letting me make the decisions and simply advising me as to what those decisions would do for my case. She didn’t cram anything down my throat or push me into taking a settlement offer I was not happy with. I can’t thank her enough for her efforts in my case. It was a fantastic result.

I originally hired Vera to handle my divorce case back in 2008. I was, and am currently, working and living out-of-state, so I needed someone knowledgeable, dependable, and trustworthy to represent me, as I could seldom attend mediations and court appearances in person. Vera did a terrific job of kee...ping me informed and up-to-date on all of the proceedings of my case. I found Vera to be very straightforward and realistic in managing my expectations and in informing me of my options along the way. I very much appreciated Vera's patience in working with me on the payment schedule of her fees, as I was unemployed for a stretch. Even though my divorce was finalized in 2010, Vera is still representing me today in proceedings to amend my child support and alimony obligations, as the children are now adults and have moved on and my employment circumstances have greatly changed. I would absolutely recommend Vera to anyone seeking legal representation in a divorce, and look forward to having her represent me through the conclusion of my case!

If it wasn't for Vera Bergermann my mother would've been cheated out of what she had worked so hard for most of her life. After 21 years of marriage my mother’s husband divorced her without her even knowing it, as she suffers from Alzheimer's. Her husband lied on his financial affidavit and about th...eir assets. He obtained a power of attorney after the divorce and starting selling off all of their assets. Ms. Bergermann was able to put a stop to all of that and reopen the case so that the assets could be properly divided. Ms. Bergermann worked well with the other Attorney to find a resolution without having to going to trial. She was very compassionate and so very helpful. She also put us in contact with an elder care attorney to help us get guardianship of my mother and protect her assets so she can be cared for in the future. I am so grateful we found her! I would gladly use her again and refer her to all my friends and family.
