Gregory has an exceptional ability to handle complicated litigations and represent his clients facing serious financial difficulties. Mr. Berg's courtroom experience and careful attention to detail combine to make him a powerful litigator.

Mr. Berg has successfully defended a client accused of embezzling over $300,000. It was Greg’s careful and meticulous examination of hundreds of exhibits and potential witnesses that led to his success. After a trial, the Court entered an order against the Plaintiff and in favor of Mr. Berg’s client on all counts.

The majority of bankruptcy cases go smoothly and lack the courtroom drama seen on television.  The smoothness a client experiences, however, is the result of preparation and hard work.  There are a few cases, though, where surprises will crop up. In one instance Mr. Berg filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a couple whose income was in a legal-gray area that put them in the zone between a Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (partial repayment plan).  For clients in this income bracket there is no guarantee that they could proceed as a Chapter 7, but we decided to take a calculated risk.  The United States Trustee’s Office raised the issue of filing an objection to the Chapter 7 and forcing the client to convert to a Chapter 13.  By knowing the specific circumstances of his clients’ case, Mr. Berg was able to convince the US Trustee’s Office to not file an objection and allow his clients to receive a discharge under Chapter 7.  This couple was able to complete the Chapter 7 and not have to repay those debts.


Mr. Berg zealously fights for his clients going through Bankruptcy and is very successful in helping them keep their homes and cars. Greg has a strong knowledge of Bankruptcy Law and stays current with changes in the law.

Gregory's success in both Civil and Bankruptcy litigation is not surprising given his mathematical and analytical background. He has a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Michigan State University as well as a Certificate of Advanced Study in Intellectual Property and Technology Law along with his Juris Doctor Degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Greg's clients appreciate his direct and frank discussions with them about their situations and what can be done to address them.
