TRIAL EXPERIENCE

Bergeson, LLP attorneys have tried more than 80 cases before federal and state court judges, juries and arbitrators. All Bergeson partners and counsel have actual trial experience. Our level of trial experience is rare among business litigation firms because almost all cases settle before trial. The Firm's reputation for excellent trial work helps us win favorable settlements for our clients in the civil litigation arena where many civil litigators in major firms have never faced a jury and seldom try cases to a judge.

• Over 20 Arbitration Trials under the rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), the America Arbitration Association (AAA), the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
