Richard E Berman, Esq. has been practicing law in Florida State and Federal Courts since 1977 and spent 2 years in New York prior to that time as a member of the New York Bar,  and has tried cases in New York State Court and litigated extensively in the Southern District of New York, even well after moving to Florida.
