Charny Karpousis Altieri & Donoian, P.A. partner Rebecca A. Berger speaks openly about her story of focus and choices with RadioVision Network (RVNTV) host, Chantelle Fitzgerald, on It’s All About Mindset, a half hour look at career tips from industry leaders at the top of their field. Ms. Berger starts from the very beginning and recounts her unconventional path to becoming a legal secretary turned prosecutor and now law firm partner.

As the show’s title indicates, host Chantelle Fitzgerald draws out the challenges guests faced and their “Mindset” to push through. Ms. Berger discusses how she spent 12 years putting herself through law school while working full time and raising her daughter as a single mom for the majority of those years. When asked about her biggest challenges, she described overcoming others’ judgements and being scared yet recognizing that fear would only hold her back. Ms. Berger acknowledged having many mentors and the importance of focus. She spoke of her days in the courtroom as a prosecutor, advocacy in the area of domestic violence and becoming partner after four years with the firm. Most of all, Ms. Berger spoke about her drive to “push through” for her daughter ~ a young child who spent time in the legal classrooms at Rutgers University and has since become a lawyer in her own right.

Rebecca A. Berger has been practicing law for thirteen years and represents clients in divorce, child custody, spousal and child support, property settlement agreements, prenuptial agreements, domestic violence and municipal court matters.
