Miller Berman, LLC is proud to announce that attorney and co-founder Michael J. Berman has been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America®. This recognition honors attorneys who are earlier in their careers and have demonstrated outstanding professional excellence in private practice.
Unlike awards based primarily on applications or advertising, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® uses the organization’s established Purely Peer Review® methodology. The selection process begins with a nomination, after which candidates are evaluated by other attorneys familiar with the caliber of their work. Best Lawyers then analyzes the feedback and confirms that each candidate remains in good standing with the appropriate bar association before publishing its final selections.
The peer-review component makes this honor particularly meaningful. Recognition reflects the professional opinions of fellow attorneys working within the legal community, making selection an important acknowledgment of a lawyer’s ability, reputation, and commitment to the practice of law. The award is generally reserved for private-practice attorneys who have accumulated meaningful experience while remaining in the earlier stages of their careers.
Michael’s selection reflects the dedication and skill he brings to every matter he handles. Before co-founding Miller Berman, LLC, he served as an Assistant State’s Attorney for Anne Arundel County and gained extensive experience handling cases in both District and Circuit Court. He has tried well over 100 cases to verdict throughout Maryland and has recovered millions of dollars each year for injured accident victims.
Michael’s courtroom background, careful preparation, and commitment to client-centered representation continue to shape his work at the firm. Miller Berman, LLC congratulates Michael on his inclusion in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America® and is pleased to see his work recognized by members of the legal profession.
