I am an experienced divorce and family law attorney, having represented clients since December 1975. I have mediated divorce and family dispute cases since 1997, and mediation is now the primary focus of my practice. I also receive court appointments to represent children in contested custody cases.  Also, see additional reviews on Google at Leon W. Berg, P.A.

After working 22 years in family law litigation, I decided to leave litigation behind and concentrate my practice on assisting family law clients with reaching settlements outside of court through mediation services, collaborative law, or representation of clients while they negotiate settlements with other forms of alternative dispute resolution.  I also continue to be committed to representing children in their parents' contested custody disputes.   I am an attorney member of the Collaborative Professionals of Baltimore.
