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.
