Great Lawyer, prompt and personal!
The Hendrix family was involved in an accident and Mr Berenson was recommended to us by a former client. His office was very informative and helpful with our case. We would recommend his office to anyone needing this type of representation.

BEST LAWYER IN FORT WORTH
I hired Mr. Berenson for a car accidentt case. What a great choice. I was rear ended at a stop light and ACCC insurance was the insurance for the other person who hit me. They said they would only pay $500, but Mr. Berenson made them pay $12,000.00. Very helpful.
