Always available when I had questions!

Mr. Bergener was very professional and personable thru the whole course of my case. He was available to answer my questions and offered his professional insight. Case closed in an efficient and timely manner. An absolute pleasure to work with!

Done!

Wow, finally a lawyer that has a plan. Simple and well-staffed operation. They executed my case within a timely manner and were able to get money that was within my insurance coverages but the insurance company was not willing to part with. I was assigned an attorney and a caseworker. Both were avail...able anytime I needed them and all the appointments were set up around my availability. Sweet James stepped in to close the case when there was pushback from the insurance company. Simply put, this is a well-oiled machine. Will use them again.

This is a great Lawyer he will stay with you and fight for you even after a mediation and case supposedly closed… I am Proof

The “bad” review Below posted on the 6th of August … was made in haste by me “I am trying to get it removed” .. Mr. Bergener is trying to rectify the situation.. Should he rectify this outcome I agree he is a great attny please give him a chance!!!! James does care and gives personal attention… This... was lack of communication between James and I as i could not reach him because he was only half of my case … ( i wish he took the whole case he’s great ) I could not reach him for advise… We have spoken and he is trying to rectify the results from the “sister company” he had no idea this had happend to me only THE OTHER ATTORNEYS side the story after the “mediation i was under pressure and not happy with” thank you…. should this be handled the way I believe James does do honest trustworthy and caring work .. I will post again thank you.. for your kind consideration

Great for Smaller Cases, Quick, Professional, Courteous, Kind, and Reliable.

I had initially hired a personal injury lawyer in my city who ended up not doing anything with my case for an entire year. After finding Brett Bergener on AVOO, my case was completed in a little over 2 months and I am very pleased with the outcome. With such high reviews, I wasn't sure if Bergener & ...Associates would accept my case since it was such a small injury (minor dog bite) and I actually had trouble finding a lawyer in my city (San Diego) that would accept my case. My previous lawyer even advised me to pretend I no longer had the pictures of my injury because he didn't believe they were bad enough. Mr. Bergener said that was outrageous and assured me that I had a strong case. I also really appreciate the fact that they were willing to work with me despite the issues I had with my previous lawyer. He was on the unethical side and I almost had to report him because he wouldn't hand over my file, despite it being the client's property. Long story short, Mr. Bergener was incredibly understanding, worked with me for weeks before I was even an official client, and has renewed my faith in personal injury lawyers. His firm was professional, persistent, and handled everything extremely quickly. I could tell how different this firm was from just the very first phone call. After signing with Bergener & Associates, it was an extremely effortless process. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Bergener & Associates

“Bergener & Associates helped me from the day I was injured by an uninsured motorist’s negligent driving to the day the case was completely and FULLY successfully settled. The team helped me every single step I had to go through as an injured/hurting victim. I am so grateful to them because I could ...get necessary medical treatments so quickly. They even helped me to make initial appointments. I know my case was not a big case in terms of business profit for them. What most impressed me was that I KNOW I continued getting the same dedication, compassion and attention from them, just like for other clients with larger cases. They never minimized my pain, concerns and worries regardless of size of the case. Their response was always quick, thorough and professional. I highly recommend Bergener and Associates to everyone I know if he/she was in the same situation.”
