What Bershtein, Volpe & McKeon, PC does

Bershtein, Volpe & McKeon, P.C. is a private professional law corporation headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut, providing legal services across eleven practice areas including commercial real estate, healthcare law, litigation, municipal tax liens, commercial lending, banking, general business law, estate planning and probate, residential real estate, real property tax and eminent domain appeals, and bankruptcy and creditors' rights. The firm operates with six attorneys (five partners and one associate) out of a single office at 900 Chapel Street, 11th Floor, serving institutional clients such as lending institutions, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, developers, and tax lien portfolio owners, as well as individual clients requiring estate planning, probate, and residential real estate representation.

The firm's service delivery relies on a traditional attorney-client engagement model with hourly billing, supplemented by reputation-driven client acquisition through industry recognition (Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent ratings) and professional referrals. A notable technical asset is the firm's custom-developed software for managing municipal tax lien portfolios, which supports acquisition, financing, foreclosure, workout, and disposition workflows with timely client reporting. Healthcare law is a particular area of specialization, with partner Michele Volpe holding nearly thirty years of regulatory healthcare experience and multiple Best Lawyers recognitions.

The firm's geographic scope is primarily Connecticut for litigation and regulatory matters, while its commercial real estate practice extends nationwide. The firm does not pursue external capital and operates as an independent professional corporation owned by its named attorney shareholders, with no disclosed parent company, private equity involvement, or institutional ownership. Marketing is limited to a firm website, professional recognition, and earned media, with no documented digital marketing channels or social media presence beyond a standard contact profile.
