About Us Berk Law Group, P.C. is an AV‑rated, highly respected law firm located conveniently off Loop 101 and Raintree Drive in Scottsdale, Arizona. We focus exclusively on probate, trust, estate, and inheritance litigation, including guardianships, conservatorships, estate/trust disputes, elder abuse, neglect and exploitation, powers of attorney, burial/disposition of remains, and related matters.

Known for our integrity, professionalism, and results, we treat our clients the way we would expect to be treated— with respect, honesty, and dedication. Our team is close‑knit, collaborative, and mission‑driven, and we take pride in maintaining a supportive and professional environment. We foster a casual and highly collaborative team culture where attorneys grow, support one another, and make a meaningful impact on clients' lives.
