Berger Law Firm PC

Reviews

He did an ok job. No happy about the extra charges he tacked on at the last minute. He insisted on an extra $500 the day before the final hearing (which when we paid him his retainer he said it would take care of it. He did nothing extra. Nothing). This was on a Sunday. What were we to do? The hearing was at 10am the following day. Can't really get another lawyer up to speed on time for that. Asked him on multiple occasions for a bill for the extra fees and what it was for. Never ever got one. You decide if you want to put up with him. You may not find a better lawyer but you may find a good one that has more respect for their clients.
I came here fully intending to leave a lengthy, scathing review about Peter Berger's lack of professionalism and poor manners, as reflected in my recent online interactions with him. However, I've just looked at the abundance of one-star reviews that he has received, and those reviewers have covered it all. In summary: BEST AVOIDED.
I had Peter as an attorney 6 years ago. He is rude and arrogant. He interrupts you. I was crying and he said if you are going to do that, I'm leaving. He kept telling my husband oh she needs me. I think a public defender would have did the same for me. He said I will do this and that and in front of the judge he was totally different. When I got sentenced I was crying he put his arm in. I wanted to say get your hand off of me.
I see this man has 1 star reviews and this man saved my life so I'm giving him 5 stars as I should have a few years ago when he helped me. Yes he was is expensive and yes he's a typical hot shot arrogant attorney. But it's worth it!!!!! The man acts cocky the way he does because he's the real deal. A good lawyer knows the law a great lawyer knows the judge. He was a prosecutor for 30 years. He cuts you off and doesn't let you finish sentences and all that cuz he doesn't need to hear it. He's got you covered!!!
This guy is old school; many contacts, knows the system, the law, and will be realistic with what you can expect but do everything possible to deliver the best scenario. Would definitely recommend, goes above and beyond, a plethora of advice and affordable. Would absolutely use again.
