Our dedication to people drives everything we do at Berger and Green—from advocating for our clients to supporting our team and strengthening the Pittsburgh community we call home. We understand that our most important role is being there for our clients during some of the most difficult times in their lives. When someone places their trust in us to help them recover from an injury or secure the disability benefits they desperately need, that trust is something we never take for granted.
We’re deeply grateful for the confidence our clients place in us, and we believe the best way to honor that trust is by giving back to the communities where they live, work, and raise their families. Helping our neighbors means more than legal representation—it means showing up when it matters, supporting causes that make a real difference, and investing in the people and organizations that make our region thrive.
That’s why we actively support local charities, community initiatives, and causes close to our hearts. Whether we’re sponsoring events that bring our community together, supporting animal welfare organizations, or lending a hand to those in need, we’re committed to being a force for good in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas. Our work doesn’t stop when we leave the office—it extends into the community we’re proud to serve.
Below, you’ll find information about our current community initiatives as well as the organizations and causes we’ve supported over the years.
