Posted by Donn Robinson | September 19, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Family

Thankful

My family hired Jason Berger to represent us in a minor child name change. He handled our case with professionalism and kindness. He was thorough with our case and handled everything above and beyond our expectations. Communication with us in regards to our case was exceptional. His assistant Nancy w...as always available to answer our calls and give Jason our information. On the day of our court hearing I watched Mr. Berger arrive early to get our name on the top of the court roster for the morning. Our case was heard and the minor's name was changed. Everything went smoothly. Birth certificates were easily picked up from the office. Mr. Berger showed great concern for our case and shared in the excitement of the final outcome.

Posted by David PSL Florida | June 17, 2015 | Child Custody

Professionalism, integrity, knowledge, and compassion

Jason Berger has been representing me in a custody matter. I cannot say enough great things that would appropriately express the outstanding job he has done for me and my family. From our first consultation until today, he has been so much more than a great attorney. He has been a source of support, ...guidance, and information that is absolutely indispensable. Jason along with the rest of the staff, have always been 100% honest and upfront with me about the law, my options, and what my best course of action would be.and every single thing he has ever told me has turned out to be exactly how the courts have decided things should be. I firmly believe that without the representation of Jason there is a strong possibility I would not have custody of my child. I value him so much more than an attorney. He is truly a friend and counselor in my life.

Posted by anonymous | March 23, 2015 | Domestic Violence

Prejudiced

I met him to work on my case and he would not help. That would have been fine but he discredited my facts and made snide remarks which were unfounded. He made a overt show that he was being somewhat interested while being verbally offensive at the same time. I was abhorred meeting him. As a victim of... domestic violence, I cannot recommend him.

Posted by anonymous | September 04, 2011 | Divorce & Separation

Terrific Attorney

I hired Jason as my attorney in my divorce based on a recommendation from a friend - best decision I've ever made. Jason took an extremely stressful situation and walked me through every step without charging an arm and a leg. He provided me with his cell phone number and was available 24/7. You c...an tell he genuinely cares about his clients and he fought for me. I highly recommend him!
