It's extremely rare in today's world to meet a person who does things out of the goodness of their heart and because it's the right thing to do. Sally is such a person. She gave me excellent advice. She spoke with me at length, knowing I was too far away to be a client. She never even mentioned a consult fee. She's a rare gem and anyone that is lucky enough to hire her should know they are in very good ethical compassionate hands.

Treasure Trove of Relevant Information

Atty. Bergman helped me promptly and perfectly helping me to identify specific problems needing resolution. She proved to be a true gold mine and I trust her expertise and integrity unconditionally. Atty. Bergman also gave me a referral for an attorney in my area, which I appreciate. I'd have hired Atty. Bergman in a flash if she practiced in my area. I recommend her highly.

Excellent Experience with Sally

I was fortunate to find Sally Bergman through Avvo. I had an unfortunate situation with the settling of my Mother's trust. Sally was very responsive, knowledgeable and tactful, and provided excellent direction and advice. Fortunately the situation was resolved quickly and I did not need further services, but should the need arise again, I would not hesitate to contact Sally, and would unreservedly recommend her.

Amazing source of information

I didn't actually use Sally but I can assure you I would. Like many I post questions on Avvo and really appreciate the attorneys that respond. Every once in a while you get an attorney that really helps you out in a way that is much more than intended on Avvo. This is how I communicated with Sally and would use her and recommend her highly. Just to think she took the time to help me and in a very detailed way.
