For the first fifteen years of Mr. Bergmann’s practice, he worked for two prestigious Downtown Cincinnati law firms which gave him the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skill, and experience in his areas of practice--Business Formations; Business, Construction and Real Estate Transactions; Estate Planning; Probate of Estates; Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Claims; and Claim, Dispute, and Litigation Representation.

In January 1999, Mr. Bergmann founded the law firm of Michael J. Bergmann, LLC.  More about the firm can be learned in the "About the Firm" and "Areas of Practice" pages of this web site.
