Client

It was a terrible shock to be ripped from my classroom, arrested for (false) charges of molestation, suffer 14.5 months of (false)imprisonment, watch the total meltdown of my life, my 23 year career as a teacher, facing multiple felony counts. Faced with Trinity County's corrupt Asst. DA AND a worthless Redding lawyer who stole $10k from my family, then tried to force me to take a 13-year prison 'deal'; Trinity County Sheriff's Office complicity; lies, hysteria and hyperbole from several former students and their dysfunctional parents- these elements seemed to doom my chances. But Eric Berg and his team, including investigator Ed Szendrey, believed in me, worked tirelessly to exonerate me, along with help and faith from friends and family, and finally the last shreds of this empty case were dismissed by the judge on May 6, 2019. As a former Nat'l Park Ranger, EMT, and teacher, I know about saving lives... Eric Berg truly saved my life, and that is NOT hyperbole.

Berg & Associates represents clients who are being prosecuted by the state or federal government for an act that has been classified as a crime. We are on your side! In order to prove any crime, no matter how serious, the prosecutor must prove that the accused committed a guilty act with a guilty mind beyond a reasonable doubt. This is where we step in.

Very experienced Attorney-Highly Satisfied

Eric was very focused from the very beginning on being proactive in handling my criminal defense case. The process was new and very confusing to me but Eric worked through the case and we prevailed in the end with all charges against me being dismissed. Friendly and personable Eric, was a great choice for a criminal defense attorney. I would highly recommend him!

Would recommend

After finding myself in an unfortunate situation I was referred to Ryan in Mr. Berg's office. He listened to my story and was able to ask questions that brought up facts that were useful in my case. Him and the office staff provided knowledge to help me understand the process to which I had little to no understanding. By good fortune I was able to settle before a trial. Aside from one minor, and corrected, accounting error everything went smoothly. Thank you, would recommend.

The best attorney in Chico

Eric Berg has represented me for several years for my child custody litigation. He is an exceptional attorney who truly possesses a genius legal mind. Watching him execute various legal actions over the years is like watching a composer at the New York Symphony. He turned around 3 years of legal abuse from my ex-wife in the space of 48 hours. I wouldn't have any custody of my children without this man and I am truly thankful from the bottom of my heart for everything that he has done for me. You will not find a better legal team in California.

Quick and Reliable

In Nov 2016 I was visiting Shasta county, I am from the east coast USA. I found myself in need of a legal support. My father talked to a local friend and he referred us to Eric Alan Berg and Associates. Quickly, Associate attorney Ryan Birss met with me and notified the authorities that I was represented by the Eric Alan Berg & Associates legal team. They handled everything. Being incarcerated in a small town is very scary and not somewhere I would want to spend much time. I highly recommend Eric Alan Berg & Associates when you need strong legal advise and representation in Northern California. You might really regret picking anyone else. Austin

Simply the best Lawyer attainable!

My legal problems started with two felony charges against me. They spiraled into a nightmare of trouble including family court, employment issues and more felony charges brought against my wife. If it was not for Eric Berg’s experience and expertise, the outcome would have been tragic! This man and his staff worked tirelessly to help us navigate through this twisted mess to an outcome that couldn’t have been hoped for. His performance during the jury trial led to a dismissal of my charges by the judge before they could be put in the hands of the jury. Very rare indeed! The day after my trial, all charges were dropped against my wife as well! We would like to thank all the members of the Redding and Chico staff for their hard work and dedication. Specifically: Ryan, Nikko, Candice, Gilda, Kimberly, Denise and Brandy. You poured out blood, sweat and tears for us! You made us feel like family. Thank you! If you want the best possible attorney working in your behalf, Eric Berg and Associates should be your only choice.
