About Harvey
Biography
We represent both employers and employees, so we know how the other side thinks!
This perspective both makes us more effective advocates for you, and gives us immediate credibility with opposing counsel. Too often in litigation, the opposing attorneys view each other as extremists or zealots, which makes resolution more difficult and makes litigation far more expensive, with less satisfactory results.
Our clients almost uniformly praise our representation - we are aggressive, competent and extremely strong advocates for our clients, and we get the results our clients want.

Harvey is the MAN!
I've worked with CEO's,CFO, and GMs from a major fortune 500 company. Harvey is the most patient detail oriented person I've ever worked with. He wasn't afraid to do battle with the large corporation's many high priced lawyers if the law has been broken. When Harvey says the law has been broken he...

"I endorse this lawyer."
"Harvey is very intelligent and he worked hard for his client."
"I worked with Mr. Berger on a personal injury matter in which he was the defense attorney about a year ago. Mr. Berger did a fantastic defense, and I found him to be a very well prepared defense attorney. In fact, I would say I learned some great legal strategy watching Mr. Berger's defense of my client's case. We did eventually settle the matter, but I have great respect for Mr. Berger, and I highly endorse this lawyer's work."
