About Berton
Biography
I have been with my wife for over 30 years. We have 3 daughters. 2 are in graduate school and one in high school. I come from a family of lawyers and currently have 2 brothers who are also attorneys, one in New York and one in Detroit.
I love practicing law and even after more than 25 years, I have no desire to do anything else. Being able to practice on the Lakeshore in West Michigan is just an added bonus. What a great place to live and work. The people, landscape and way of life just makes every day a gift.
I attended Central Michigan University, transferring to Wayne State University and graduating with a degree in Public Administration. I went to law school at Cooley Law School in Lansing when it was relatively new and the classes small. I still keep in touch with a number of my law school classmates, some of whom are right here in West Michigan.
I have extensive experience in civil litigation, ranging from dog bites, car accident and slip and fall cases to medical and legal malpractice and business litigation. I have represented both Plaintiffs and Defendants and inividuals as well as large companies. I represent Defendants and insurance carriers in litigation. When someone hires me, they are going to get that huge array of experience that I have to offer.
