Rooted in Cleveland for 40+ years now, we’ve appeared in state and federal courts in 29 states from the east to the west coast.

Experience

We’re not your average law firm. We’re small enough to work as a closely-knit team, but large enough to hold a wealth of experience in complex litigation, with the talent to meet its challenges.

Whether it’s Constitutional litigation, civil rights cases, criminal defense, personal injury, business and employment, or appellate cases, we have the skill and resources to tackle even the toughest cases.

We want our clients to take comfort in their law firm. We believe our clients deserve experienced, personal attention, and at Berkman, Gordon, Murray & DeVan we all share an unbending commitment to represent our clients with passion and integrity. See Notable Cases for a list of some of the significant reported cases we have argued that have helped shape the law.
