Our experience

Berton due diligence with us prior to taking on our case. He reviewed the facts and advised us as to the process and time frame. He was able to resolve our problem in a timely and equitable manner. We definitely recommend Berton in a future.

A.B. Webb, Ed.D

Attorney Berton Ring is a no-nonsense man wth great integrity. He will ask the tough questions because he wants the truth in order to fully work with and understand you as a person with the need for legal representation. He is organized and honest and works very hard for his clients. Mr. Ring helped ...me with a small case in 2018. It was about getting back my own integrity: I feel he took such a small case because he cared about me as a person though we were meeting for the first time. A larger case is at hand in my family. I have discussed with Attorney Ring the basic points just three days ago and we already getting started to get documents together. He again asked the serious and precise questions. I am grateful he will be representing my mother and family. I believe in and trust Attorney Berton Ring entirely, and know our case will be handled with great care to detail and caring throughout. I highly recommend Attorney Berton Ring for real estate matters, as there is no-one more knowledgeable and experienced in this field.

Exceeded all expectations in a legal matter

My business was confronted with an unexpected legal matter with significant exposure which could have resulted in protracted litigation and a large financial liability. Mr. Ring demonstrated his extraordinary negotiating skills resolving the matter out of court, at a tiny fraction of the potential co...st. As a forensic psychologist I work in the legal system and am exposed to many attorneys. Mr. Ring ranks among the best of the best in intelligence, knowledge, creativity and execution. I strongly recommend him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Bert Ring. Some years ago Bert found himself with a lot of work on his hands, and we worked together on mostly complex real property and landlord tenant cases. Bert's expertise, execution, and genuine concern for the clients was impressive. I see that in the time since then Bert has accumulated an impressive portfolio of published decisions."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1992.

Suspension issued in IL, 1992

updated on 12/07/2021

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a specific period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Berton’s comment:

“These were two matters early in my career. The first one the client whom was not a fee paying client through the legal assistance foundation, complaint that i took too long for her divorce. She eventually still got her divorce without any payments to my firm as i agreed through the foundation not to charge the client. The second case was where the client claimed that he lost his case when he hired me to sue another lawyer for malpractice and we were unable to secure an expert witness for him,”
