I came to the Law Offices of Robert P. Bergman when I needed help with estate administration after the death of my daughter. Bob was pleasant and personable, yet professional. He took care of the court filing and the paperwork and took a great deal off my plate, which let me focus on settling her estate. His fees were very reasonable. I would recommend Bob to anyone needing estate administration.

Bob Bergman is very nice and super helpful. He goes out of his way to make sure you understand the best options for your estate plan. He took so much time to answer all of my questions, and he really knows the law. Other attorneys contact him to ask questions when they do not know what to do. You can be sure you will get the best advice from him.

Bob Bergman has been our estate planning lawyer for many years, and has also advised us numerous times when we needed other legal help. He has always been easy to work with, cheerful, and most importantly, his advice has always been right on the mark. We value him both as a counselor and as a friend.

If you are looking for an estate planner, Robert Bergman has the knowledge, speed, and efficiency to walk you through the process no matter how complicated the estate might be. He was always available, even on the weekend, by text, email, or phone. He made it seem very easy, and he is reasonably priced with no hidden fees. We were referred to him by our own lawyer, and I highly recommend him.

My wife and I needed an estate plan and literally had zero, not even notes scrawled on a post-it. We heard Bob speak at a seminar after a friend recommended him. He was personable, clearly knowledgeable about both the law and its real-world application, and had an efficient process for building the right plan. We opted for a living trust that avoids probate, with provisions for life insurance and care for our child. The key feature was the feeling of security it gave us; the uncertainty and anxiety about the future were gone.

Bergman did a thorough, bottom-up estate plan for us after I heard him present on the subject. Our earlier plan did not begin to cover the complex issues that can arise around inheritance, end-of-life decisions, and survivor control of assets. His plan addressed things one never thinks of but that happen all the time in real life. Years later, when we moved to a retirement community, he asked all the right questions about our changed circumstances and updated the plan quickly. I highly recommend him.
