Dishonest

Royal Berg was my lawyer in the 90s. This lawyer is one of the most dishonest lawyers I have ever dealt with. Royal Berg never told me specifically what he wants to charge me. He kept charging me $200.00 each time I saw him for about two years and wasn't able to help me with my case. At one time he t...old me to respond "yes sir" each time I answered his question. What an abuser even though I'm the one paying him. I found a new lawyer and I'm now a citizen. I will never recommend him to anybody.

arrogant, condescending, and untrustworthy

i am not shocked by the negative reviews others have posted. i recently became involved with mr. berg after a family member became involved in immigration matters and I have seen with my own eyes the mistakes he makes with paperwork, he didnt file the appropriate forms which almost resulted in deport...ation. luckly i was able to go to the uscis website and complete them on my own and send them. dont wait for this guy to help you. he will string you along and you really have to keep a close eye on him. im surprised that he is still in business, but i guess being in the immigration business for 30 years has has formed enough relationships with prosecutors and judges that his scamming keeps going and people spend in the 10-thousands of dollars to stay in the country as he forgets to file appeals, conceals important documentation to establish the case and so on... i also had the chance to see him in action in immigration court and was appalled by his behavior. man oh man! can someone say delusions of grandeur. no other lawyer acted as unprofessionally as he did.

shockingly cynical

I attempted to consult with this attorney on my immigration matter. Even despite his seemingly extensive legal knowledge he exhibited a terribly condenscending attitude towards a prospective client like myself. At least, that is the impression I had at once. I would never recommend anyone so arrogant..., cynical and lacking basic manners and social communication skills, especially with important immigration issues. Not worth the risk.

Client Review

Ou immigration case was almost denied because negligence. It appears that the attorney failed — repeatedly — to submit important materials, and has been unable to furnish any proof of the materials being lost in the mail.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Royal Berg is an extremely experienced and talented attorney. He is trustworthy, loyal, and helpful, among other numerous noteworthy traits. He devotes a tremendous amount of time to represent clients, as an immigration advocate, and to educate immigration attorneys. His victories in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals are legendary. His time is sought after by many, which becomes a challenge for any immigration attorney. He can provide a candid opinion to those who sit down for an appointment with him. Roy's decision to charge for an appointment fee tends to be the custom among more experienced immigration attorneys willing to take time to ask enough questions. He likely applies his appointment fee if he is hired. He is a devoted practitioner worthy of praise."
