Kent Berk is My #1 Choice
When one of my estate planning clients asks for a referral for a litigation attorney, Kent Berk is my #1 choice. Kent’s sharp, creative mind and tenacious spirit are impressive in the courtroom as well as in one-on-one discussions. He’s always well-prepared and ready to tackle any challenge.

Clearly Explaining My Options
Kent Berk recently acted as my attorney in an Estate Dispute after the death of a good friend who had left the stewardship of his estate in the hands of me and two other friends. A challenge to our testamentary authority to fulfill the terms of my friend’s Last Will and Testament was issued on grounds of Testamentary Capacity and Undue Influence. Mr. Berk and his office provided a knowledgeable, tenacious, and successful defense of our position, which was qualified by a degree of vulnerability. Importantly, he utilized a device (apparently unfamiliar to other both a University of California co-counsel and the adversarial attorney) that put our adversary in a position where he had something to lose in the case that he did not prevail; his lawsuit would not be a “free swing.” Kent and his staff were always available to me, clearly explaining my options along with the risks and benefits of particular strategic actions. His billing was fair and precise

Kent’s Keen Litigation Skills Served Me Well
A highly respected attorney referred me to Kent Berk for a family trust dispute and I will be forever grateful. Kent is a dispassionate advocate who exemplifies knowledge, integrity, honesty, sensitivity, and fairness. He thoroughly explained the pros and cons of the potential legal strategies and offered his professional opinion — but placed no pressure on me as to whether to forge ahead or call it quits. Fortunately, Kent’s keen litigation skills served me well in my battle with family greed and dishonesty. On the rare occasion when I needed to speak with him after hours, he never made me feel that I was imposing on his personal time. To the contrary, he was always responsive and efficient — highly respectful of my opinion and my time.

I Would Highly Recommend
Kent has an innate ability to quickly grasp the message of the deal or “information” that you bring him and turn around the best method possible to get the best result for the client. His integrity is beyond compare and I would highly recommend Kent.

Passionate About Helping the Elderly
I was pleased to seek the advice of Berk Law Group in helping an elderly relative. Mr. McKay and Mr. Berk have been gracious in their time to give helpful advice. After the initial consult to seek legal counsel, Mr. McKay stayed in communication with me to support my journey to pursue what could be done to protect my relative from financial exploitation. Both Mr. Berk and Mr. McKay are very passionate about helping the elderly be protected from those individuals who operate from a base of greed and power-seeking to serve their wishes rather than the wishes of their loved ones.

Diligent Effort Representing Us
Thank you for your diligent effort representing us in this awful lawsuit over the last four years. Although in the term of this case, I wasn’t awarded all that I believe we deserved, I feel I was served by one of the finest law firms in Arizona. The high level of integrity, focus, and interest in the handling of my matter, never waned in the four-plus years this case spanned. Staff attorneys George Smith and Daphne Reaume, along with your support staff have always displayed a high level of professionalism, competence, and caring while working on my case. I have a special thanks to you Kent, for your caring professionalism, guiding me through some difficult ups and downs this matter took us through. You never overstated the possible end results of adjudicating this matter, but did point to the strengths of our case and pursued them vigorously. In my mind, Kent’s integrity and perseverance is worthy model for young attorneys entering the legal profession.
