Maxwell Bergner

Max is an extremely motivated lawyer. Had been working with him for ~2 years on a case. He went out of his way to gather details to defend my case. Was very sympathetic with my medical condition as well. Truly fought for me in what could have been a life-or-death matter. In the end, I got to choose m...y own plea deal. (Only 18 months supervision) (Next date set was a trial) Would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable counsel! Side note: I notice others giving poor reviews for his communication. They then either request a new lawyer or accept a plea because of if. Honestly, leading up to the trial & having read those prior, I was VERY nervous. I did personally experience that too. Please do keep in mind he does work for the public defender's office as well & is VERY busy. The wait in-between messages ended up being well worth it for me. If I hadn't been patient & collaborated with different counsel I know this could have ended WAY differently.

Today Mr. Berger “represented” my son at a chapter 51 hearing . He had the opportunity to speak with myself as well as my sons grandmother & his doctor. He obviously did NOT hear what was said to him by us or the psychiatrist. He proposed my extremely mentally ill son NOT be held for treatment! I fee...l he should be educated on mental illness before he EVER “represents “ anyone suffering from this any mental disease. He clearly has no understanding whatsoever and is unable to hear the words of the professionals. Fortunately, the courts saw the evidence and great need for help and the chapter 51 motion was granted.
