15 years, 100 cases
- Business: 30%
"Business" is a rather broad label. Broad as it is, most of what we do is assist businesses with their affairs. From drafting documents and providing guidance at the inception of the business to winding up the affairs of a business (or negotiating/effecting the a sale of a business) and everything in between, we handle both the litigation and the transactional/consulting side.

Moises Aguilar, Criminal defense Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Berger on a variety of matters. He is extremely diligent and detail oriented. Anytime a case comes my way that my office does not handle, Mr. Berger is the first attorney we refer that case to.

Ben is a sharp attorney with a fine eye for detail and an ability to effectively communicate with clients on complex issues. I would highly recommend Benjamin Berger as a business attorney.
