Joseph Abruzzo and Frank Biden, non-lawyers
Growing Full-Service Firm Adds High-Profile Business And Government Relations Team
Long known as a leading personal injury firm, Berman Law Group has evolved into a full-service law firm with main offices in Gainesville, Deerfield Beach, Orlando and Stuart. Headquartered in Boca Raton, the firm offers estate planning, family law, immigration, criminal defense, corporate law and commercial real estate services as well as a personal injury and wrongful death practice that investigates catastrophic personal injury matters nationwide.
Now, Berman Law Group offers business, institutional and nonprofit clients the expertise of a high-profile government relations consulting team led by Francis “Frank” Biden, brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, and Joseph Abruzzo, former state senator and Democratic whip of the Florida House.
“From day one, we have instilled a culture at Berman Law Group that puts our clients and community first,” says attorney Theodore Berman, managing partner and co-founder with his identical twin brother, attorney Russell Berman. “Bringing on Frank Biden and Joe Abruzzo is consistent with our vision and passion for helping our clients in Florida and throughout the country.”
As senior advisor to the firm, Biden offers clients the benefits of more than 40 years of service in Washington; a deep understanding of federal, state and municipal community governments; and an unrivaled personal network of contacts.
“I am passionate about making a difference in fields like education, healthcare and the environment,” says Biden. “I focus on finding bipartisan solutions to address today’s challenges.”
After serving as a White House legislative liaison under President Bill Clinton, Biden formed nonprofits that provided education, housing and health care to underprivileged families before returning to the private sector.
A U.S. Coast Guard veteran, Abruzzo brings a wealth of experience in business and economic development to the firm as director of government relations. Along with a highly productive 10-year career in the state legislature, Abruzzo served as chief administration aide to the Office of Criminal Conflict and the Civil Regional Council.
“Joining Berman Law Group has been a natural transition from public service into the private sector,” Abruzzo says. “We all share a passion for helping families, individuals and our community.”
Berman Law Group is located at 3351 N.W. Boca Raton Blvd., Boca Raton. For more information, call 561-826-5200 or visit thebermanlawgroup.com.
