Practice Areas
- Complex Commercial Litigation (Plaintiff and Defendant)
Commercial litigation is the broad area of law that deals with resolving disputes in commercial settings stemming from professional and commercial relationships through alternative dispute resolution methods and court trials. Commercial litigation can cover a wide variety of civil and criminal law matters on both state and federal levels.

The White Collar Criminal Defense Practice at Berg & Androphy has a proven track record of success in defending businesses and individuals against criminal investigations and regulatory actions. Increased coordination between regulatory, civil, and criminal enforcement requires representation that brings together subject-matter expertise, counseling, and the ability to coordinate the defense of complex matters. - Personal Injury
Personal injury litigation can be broken into three broad categories: negligence, intentional acts and strict liability "torts". The word "tort" refers to a legal cause of action -- the wrongful act of another person which entitled an injured party to seek damages through the courts. The attorneys at Berg & Androphy have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in complex personal injury cases. - Employment / Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act and other employment law class actions have become the new frontier for plaintiffs' class action lawyers. These lawsuits are among the most dangerous for employers because they are often fueled by employment statutes and enabling regulations containing extremely broad and/or arcane and intricate provisions. Successful plaintiffs can be rewarded with multiple damages and attorneys fee awards.
