General
Bob Bergin has been practicing civil trial law since 1977. He is “A” rated by Martindale-Hubbell. Bob was born and raised in South Florida and graduated from Palm Beach Gardens High School before attending the University of Florida. Upon graduating from law school, he went to work for a defense firm where he tried numerous cases as a young lawyer. His early experience was such that by the age of 29, he opened his own firm representing physicians in defense of medical malpractice actions. He successfully defended a number of medical malpractice cases before severing his relationship with insurance carriers in the mid 1980’s so that he could represent the interests of patients and their families.
