Matt N.

In the most difficult situation of my life, I turned to the internet to find a lawyer just as I'm sure you are doing right now. I found Jon Berman. It was the best decision I have ever made! With his knowledge of law and his expertise he literally saved my life, family and career. I could of never have done it without him.

An amazing team and true professionals! My experience at Berman & Russo has been nothing but positive. They did an amazing job on my case and I would highly recommend. I was in a car accident this past January and almost didn't even contact an attorney, afraid of the headache a potential lawsuit might bring. But after meeting Attorney Berman, my wife and I were put at ease. They took care of everything and always were available to answer any questions we had. They treated us with respect and dignity from beginning to end. Look no further than Berman & Russo, you will not be disappointed.

The Berman & Russo firm did a great job handling my auto accident for me. The entire staff was helpful and professional. I was not looking forward to having to go through a claim process or a lawsuit, and they made it easy. Attorney Berman helped me find the best doctors and also got a great out of court settlement for me. I highly recommend this firm.

Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

We recently represented a Veteran who had to leave the Reserve due to injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident. He had an attorney who wasn't doing anything for him or paying any attention to his case. We took over the case and we were able to get all of the documentation necessary from the military service and his medical providers to get him the financial settlement that he needed within six (6) months. In another recent auto accident claim, we represented several elderly people severely injured in a car crash, who needed to see medical specialists and who needed prompt settlements of their auto claims. We were able to get their claims settled quickly through Mediation within one year of the accident date. The prompt settlement made a big difference for them and their families and their quality of life.

How did you build a successful practice?

People injured in automobile accidents should look for lawyers who are experienced in handling automobile accident claims and familiar with local medical specialists and doctors who will work with accident victims. We have over thirty (30) years experience handling auto accident claims and also we understand how difficult it is for people to go about their daily activities while trying to handle an accident case on their own.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Having local knowledge is extremely important, especially having relationships of trust with local physicians, surgeons, and chiropractors. Quite often, getting a quick appointment with a medical office for an injured client is one of the most important things that we can do. Before the case is settled, it is important to get thorough and accurate medical reports from the treating physician, which often takes experience with the medical office. Finally, understanding the value of an auto accident claim for negotiated settlements requires a knowledge of local jury verdicts for similar cases.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

In the initial phone consultation, we can help an injured person understand where to turn for medical care, for payment of his/her medical bills, and to obtain a fair and prompt resolution of the property damage claim for the damage to their automobile.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

We provide a high level of personal service for our auto accident clients by the attorney and paralegal handling the auto accident claim. We pride ourselves on being available whenever necessary, no matter what time of day, or day of week. When you call our office, a live person answers the phone and puts you in connection with whoever you need to help with the problem.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

The most rewarding part of our job is being able to see people get back on their feet, and obtain the financial settlement that they are entitled to without waiting for years.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

Unlike most “ suburban “ law firms , we concentrate our practice in two areas, injury claims and criminal defense. This keeps our efforts focused on what we do best.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

The most rewarding part of our job occurs when clients tell us that we made a real difference in their life .

What are your other interests in addition to law?

As busy lawyers we don’t get many days or hours off , but when we do our “free time” goes toward “family time”.

Are you involved in your community?

We stay as involved as we can in the community of South Windsor through participation in local events of concern .
