"...friendly, honest, trustworthy & knowledgeable..."
When our son unexpectedly left us with his two young sons, we did not know where to turn. A trusted friend recommended Jonathan Berman. We met with Jon and he was absolutely wonderful. He sat with us for over an hour as we described our situation to him. He knew exactly what to do and answered every one of our questions and more. He was more then competent. He held our hand throughout the whole process of gaining custody. He worked diligently with the children’s mother who lives out of state explaining the whole process to her and exactly what her rights were. If you are needing a lawyer who is friendly, honest, trustworthy & knowledgeable I highly recommend Jon Berman.

"...helpful from the start...explained things well..."
Forrest was helpful from the start. He helped me evaluate my options and take a moderate approach to the difficult process of divorce. He explained things well, and helped to me stay a middle course, differentiating between what was worth asking for and what was in the long range of little consequence. This helped us to arrive at a just and fair settlement. He also helped me separate “emotional reasoning” from fact based statements, which made all the difference in having my position and needs carefully considered. I believe this approach yielded the best results and I would happily recommend him to others who find themselves in need of help when divorcing.

"...a high standard of professionalism [and] legal expertise..."
We have retained Jon once in the past. His work ethic surpassed previous attorneys my husband and I have worked with. Jon possesses a high standard of professionalism, legal expertise whilst being compassionate and offering guidance throughout. I would recommend Mr. Berman to anyone needing an attorney in Family or Custody issues.

"...as painless as possible..."
Forrest helped us navigate our mediation in a kind, professional, and comfortable manner. We both appreciated his fair and experienced demeanor, and the objective way he guided us through our options. Our kitchen table mediation was brief yet thorough, and as painless as possible. By not having a contentious divorce (with multiple lawyers and arguments over small things) my ex-wife and I have been able to remain respectful friends. The kitchen table process, with Forrest’s guidance, was the first step in getting through to the other side. I highly recommend Forrest Collins for your mediation.

"...kind and patient..."
I was lucky to have Mr. Jon Berman as my lawyer during my sour divorce. His patience and kindness helped me through a difficult time. I was born in another country, and the language barrier in the matter of law was very difficult at times for me to understand, and Mr. Jon was so kind and patient to clear it for me. I highly recommend Mr. Jon Berman as a Family Law and Mediation for his very professional way to handle his cases.

"...saved a lot of time and money..."
Forrest was very helpful and efficient. We saved a lot of money and time by having him guiding us through the very tedious divorce filing process. I heartily recommend his services.

"...exceed[ed] all my expectations..."
When one wishes to climb Mount Everest they employ Sherpas, who are known as elite Mountaineers, and are use as guides for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. When one goes through a divorce or child custody it feels as though you are about to ascend a mountain that is unconquerable; your quest for a good lawyer that can guide you through this is an important one that will have a great impact for the rest of your life. Mr. Jon Berman was my guide whose empathy, knowledge of the law and ability to exceed all my expectations, help me conquer my trek through this rigorous mountain…called Divorce! I will forever feel in debt to Mr. Berman for going beyond the call of duty; thank you Jon for your patience and understanding.
