As outside counsel to public pension plans, I know that I can recommend Berman Tabacco to my clients with absolute confidence. They are the type of firm that I feel comfortable entrusting our name and reputation to — and that’s the bottom line. They’re into quality and not quantity. I appreciate the detail and care evidenced in their work product. When they recommend a case, you know they’ve done their due diligence.
