Talk:Steve Berman (lawyer)

Personal & Early Life
Hi. My name is Ashley Klann and I work for Steve Berman at Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro. I would like to help improve this page in compliance with WP:COI. For starters, I wanted to propose an "Early life and education" section as well as a "Personal life" section that would help round-out the page and make it a more complete biography. I've put the proposed draft sections here in hopes that a disinterested editor might take a look and consider implementing them if they would improve the page. Best regards.

 * Thanks for the ping, AshleyK1990, and thanks for being so conscientious about the COI requirements. I think your draft is fine, and very well referenced. I will add it to the article along with categories and other relevant changes. Except that I am NOT going to include the sentence "He donates to an environmental litigation clinic at the University of Washington Law School" which seems trivial.


 * One other thing: in the existing article, the sentence "He has been listed as top lawyer in Washington state and one of the 100 most powerful lawyers in the United States by the National Law Journal." does not have a reference source. Can you find evidence for these claims and share it here at the talk page? Thanks. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:26, 8 January 2022 (UTC)


 * thanks so much. Naturally, I defer to your judgment. Regarding the "top lawyer" and "most powerful lawyers" content, I was actually hoping you would consider replacing the Career section entirely. I couldn't find a single sentence in that section where an independent citation about Berman actually said what it was cited for. You can check out my notes and proposed replacement here if you have time to take a look. AshleyK1990 (talk) 21:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
