"Matthew Berger, Attorney of Law, was one of the first numbers we called when first arriving in 2007, from France, creating our new business.
It was the best call we made.
He was expedient in getting all of our necessary papers, trademarks, and such in line for us. When we have needed him he has been there, taking care of our needs without hesitation.
He is not only an Attorney to trust to take care of our business, but has become a friend along the way. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need."
- Jill Marie Carré & Jean Michel Carré, Owners, Chocolats du CaliBressan
"Matthew Berger's deep and thorough understanding of the federal copyright statute, as well as his capability to grasp the subtle nuances of the twenty years of litigation my family has suffered through were remarkable to a seasoned Plaintiff/Defendant. Throughout a dreadful experience in court, and having already lost on a summary judgment while I was representing myself and my husband, Matthew Berger was brave enough to step in. Mr. Berger soldiered on with calm, integrity and a respect for the court. I'll never know how he managed to do it. His performance was a master class in honesty, dignity, knowledge of the law, and compassion. Many lawyers choose the law for all the wrong reasons; either to win, or to line their pockets, or even just to prove some unknown thing. But not Matthew Berger. He chose the law because he loves the law. And that is the right question to ask a lawyer before you hire them. Just ask them why they chose the law. Ask Matthew Berger. Then hire him. Even though we lost, I have no regrets that we chose to work with Mr. Berger."
