Joseph Smith, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 4, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I represented a client in a highly complex criminal fraud case that involved multiple defendants. My client was one of the defendants and Peter Berlin represented one of the others. Our clients had common interests in the case. We joined forces to prepare a joint motion on behalf of each of our clients which ultimately resulted in all charges being dismissed. Mr. Berlin was an integral part of the research and preparation of that motion. He has a superb legal mind and the tenaciousness of a great trial lawyer.
