The Trick to Earning a Spot Among the Legal Elite

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Oct. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Columbia native, Kenneth E. Berger, was named among eight others as the 2015 Legal Elite for personal injury in the Oct. issue of Columbia Business Monthly. For an attorney as decorated as Berger, 33, many would assume his ego is out of this world. However, that is far from the truth.

“Columbia and the Midlands are blessed to have so many great lawyers, which makes it even more meaningful to be considered among them for this award,” said Berger. “It’s always humbling to know your colleagues have respect for the work you’re doing. I’ve always believed if we put clients first, then the results will take care of themselves.”

Columbia Business Monthly serves as a reputable resource for local professionals and highlights individuals striving to positively affect the community. Berger makes it a point to give back to the public by donating a portion of attorney's fees from all child injury cases to child-focused charities and organizations. Likewise, a portion of any fee earned in a traumatic brain injury case is donated to the TBI-recovery community.

According to Berger, the trick to earning a spot among the legal elite – or any honor in that matter – is to treat everyone, from clients to colleagues to adversaries, with respect and to make sure that everyone on your team goes above and beyond to provide clients with great results and a great experience.

“We want our business to be considered a community resource, not just another law firm,” expressed Berger. “You can’t expect to receive anything from your community if you aren’t a part of it. At my firm, we try to invest as much time, money, and energy in our community as possible. The entire team knows our business revolves around public safety and accountability, not compensation.”
