The Charny Karpousis Altieri & Donoian Partner Humanizes the Legal Profession with Peers’ Personal Stories

Charny Karpousis Altieri & Donoian, P.A. partner Rebecca A. Berger is the new host of RadioVision Network (RVNTV) Justice for All, a half hour series that covers the law from the eyes of South Jersey and Philadelphia professionals who practice it. The popular weekly program is a one-on-one discussion in which legal professionals and thought-leaders in the surrounding area discuss not only their career path, but also their niche practice area(s) and organic topics of the legal field which arise during the interview.

A practicing family law attorney and former prosecutor, Ms. Berger draws on her own experiences and challenges guests to discuss how their life choices and experiences have shaped their professional approach and client advocacy. The show which airs weekly on Thursdays and Fridays at 7:00 p.m. eastern time turns the spotlight on diverse legal matters and speaks to those who work in the field of law but also everyone who is impacted by it. Since re-launching the program in January 2020, Berger’s has welcomed attorneys from both sides of the courtroom with a deputy prosecutor and criminal defender. She also was proud to interview the first woman of color to serve as attorney-in-charge at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey.

“I was nervous at first but as with other decisions in my life, I knew fear would hold me back,” said Ms. Berger, recalling her experience in overcoming others’ judgements and her drive to “push through” for herself and her daughter. “Once in the interview chair, the questions just began to flow and I quickly realized how human we all are ~ even attorneys. I want the audience to learn about the law, yes, but from a very human perspective.”

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.
