David Berger
Deputy District Attorney, Major Fraud Division
David Berger specializes in the prosecution of complex and high dollar value crimes. He has taken on a variety of major fraud cases, including credit card scams, check fraud, employee embezzlement, forgery, securities fraud and tax evasion.
Berger began his career with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office as a law clerk in 1996 and became a deputy district attorney in 1998. He was assigned in 2002 to the Sheriff's Department in the City of Lancaster where he developed proactive crime prevention strategies to tackle violent crime and quality of life issues. He authored a suite of local government ordinances aimed at targeting crime and was instrumental in creating a law enforcement task force dedicated to reducing crime in and around low-income rental properties. The success of those novel strategies earned both California State Assembly and U.S. Congressional recognition as "Crime Buster of the Year" in 2004. He joined the Major Fraud Division in 2004.
In addition to his law enforcement duties, Berger is an adjunct professor of law at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, where he teaches trial advocacy. Berger earned his LL.B. from the University of London, and after emigrating from England to the United States, a J.D. from Loyola Law School, where he chaired the International Law Society. He was admitted to the California Bar in December 1997.
