Dani Bergman is a civil litigation attorney who practices in the areas of construction law, insurance defense, and complex litigation. She has represented clients in a wide range of cases. Whether she is defending a client from millions of dollars in alleged construction defects or aggressively challenging premises liability claims, her client commitment and meticulous
preparation are always evident whenever she is involved with a case.

Ms. Bergman is skilled at identifying legal defenses that might defeat a claim before it ever reaches the courtroom. She develops critical information during discovery and depositions that can be used to present dispositive motions. When those motions do not result in complete victory for her clients, they create leverage for settlement negotiations and frame issues in a more favorable way for trial presentation.
