Profile

In addition to being an aggressive litigator throughout his career, Mr. Bergman firmly believes that the best results for his clients and their families can be achieved through various methods of alternative dispute resolution including the use of collaborative law. By utilizing these resources instead of the traditional, exceptionally expensive and  highly contentious method of litigation, his clients can better preserve their assets, improve family relationships and achieve dignity during the process. Mr. Bergman has become a well known statewide advocate for the use of collaborative law during the past 5 years.

Testimonials

"My Platinum profile ad has definitely paid off! My law firm is a boutique five-attorney law firm in San Francisco that had never advertised prior to this, except in Martindale-Hubbel. We have been a traditional insurance defense firm, and wanted to subtly let people know that we also do select plaintiff's cases. In the last quarter of 2006, we were retained in three significant plaintiff's cases, two of which are high-profile media cases. I also placed an ad in the Super Lawyers section of San Francisco magazine, to reach non- lawyers. Now, people at the gym, the coffee shop, the drycleaners tell me they had no idea what I do, and they will come to me when they need a lawyer. So, the ad also worked to reach non-lawyers in the community as well."
