Client Reviews

After serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War our father worked shipyards until he retired. He had an active life he loved hiking, fishing, gardening and motorcycles. Tragically our beloved Father died of mesothelioma after working with asbestos for many years. Fortunately we found Bergman Oslund Udo Little. They were so compassionate and helpful in our time of grieving. Thankfully they took our case. Erica Bergman and Venessa Oslund worked so hard and fought so very hard for us in our time of need. We appreciate them so much. Five stars is not enough. They went above and beyond for me and my family. It would be impossible to thank them enough.
