About Benjamin Karl
Benjamin Karl Bergman earned his law degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo, receiving his J.D. in 1999. He attended law school in the late 1990s and entered the legal profession soon after. His educational background in Buffalo set the stage for a career rooted in courtroom work and local practice in New York.
He began public service work early in his career. In 2002 he worked as a prosecutor in the Broome County District Attorney’s Office, a position that placed him in regular contact with criminal matters and courtroom procedure. That experience gave him practical trial exposure and a deeper view of how cases progress from investigation to verdict. He later moved into private practice and, in 2011, became a partner at Jackson Bergman, LLP, where he has helped shape firm strategy and case handling.
Over the years Bergman has maintained ties to professional groups that reflect his courtroom background. He holds memberships in the Broome County Bar Association since 2010, The National Trial Lawyers since 2014, and the National Association of Distinguished Counsel and the New York State Defenders Association since 2015. He is also listed as maintaining a membership that dates to 1999. These affiliations signal ongoing engagement with trial practice and defense-oriented communities, and they have kept him connected to continuing legal education and local bar activities.
Today Bergman practices in New York as a partner at Jackson Bergman, LLP. His work draws on more than two decades in the law, including years on the prosecution side and years in private practice. He handles courtroom matters and remains active in professional organizations that reflect his trial experience. He practices in New York and concentrates on criminal defense and trial litigation at Jackson Bergman, LLP.
