Family & Juvenile Law

Meet Pooja Bery
Founding Attorney
I’m Pooja Bery, founding attorney of Bery Law. I believe in listening with compassion, advocating with tenacity, and focusing on what works. That approach is at the heart of Bery Law.
I approach every matter with the same goal: understand what matters most to my client, identify the best path forward, and be prepared for whatever comes next. Sometimes that means finding a practical resolution. Sometimes it means going to court. Either way, you’ll know where your case stands and why we’re taking the approach we are.
Outside the courtroom · Movie Buff · Animal Lover · Avid Traveler
“At a critical moment, after I’d been negotiating directly and was about to give up significant parenting time, Pooja called me late at night and firmly insisted I stop. She protected me from my own well-meaning but damaging concessions. Thanks to her, the court established a more equitable parenting plan.”

Our Approach
How we work
Preparation drives strategy
Strong representation starts with understanding the facts, the law, and the practical realities of the case. Whether a matter is resolved through negotiation or litigation, we approach each step deliberately and prepare for what may come next.
Clear communication matters
Clients should understand where their case stands and why particular decisions are being made. We provide candid advice, explain the available options, and keep our clients informed throughout the process.
Your goals shape the strategy
There is no single definition of a successful outcome. We consider the legal issues alongside your priorities, risks, costs, and long-term goals to develop an approach tailored to your circumstances.
Strong advocacy can still be human
Legal disputes often arise during some of the most stressful periods of a client’s life. We take that seriously—advocating firmly while listening carefully and never losing sight of the person behind the case.
