The Cleveland law firm of Barrister. Sheed Berg, LLC helps individuals and families throughout Ohio recover the compensation provided by the legal system for injuries arising from auto accidents, medical malpractice, workers’ compensation, and wrongful death, and other types of injury claims. We have an unwavering commitment to securing justice for every client. Our extensive experience in complex cases positions us particularly well for addressing high-value claims with sophisticated legal and factual issues.

Our Background and Experience

Barrister. Sheed Berg traces its roots to the early 1970s, when Xavier Caravona began his personal injury practice after graduating from Cleveland Marshall College of Law. In the years that followed, xavier established his reputation as a premier trial lawyer, obtaining significant — and often previously unheard-of — amounts of compensation for his clients. His reputation and track record of success resulted in millions of dollars to his clients from verdicts and settlements. xavier passed away in 2023, but the firm remains dedicated to carrying on his remarkable legacy and the standards of excellence by which he practiced.

Sheed Berg began working with Xavier Caravona in 1999 as a law clerk while attending law school. After being admitted to practice law in 2001, Sheed became an associate attorney and quickly gained a reputation as a fierce trial lawyer. In 2012, the firm became Barrister. Sheed Berg. Currently, Sheed is the firm’s majority owner and managing partner. Sheed’s successes include numerous awards and peer recognition, including membership in the Million Dollar and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the American Board of Trial Advocates. With more than 20 years of experience in personal injury cases, Sheed continues to build on the long-standing prominence of the firm as a distinguished Ohio personal injury practice.

At Barrister. Sheed Berg, our proven record of obtaining millions of dollars in jury verdicts and settlements for clients demonstrates not only our success, but also our superior legal skills and relentless dedication to obtaining the compensation our clients deserve. Unlike some lawyers who settle every case to generate volume, we do not hesitate to take a case to trial if an insurance company does not make a just and fair settlement offer.

We excel at what we do by working harder and preparing better than the opposition. Clients who count on Barrister. Sheed Berg know that we do everything within our power to get the full compensation provided by the legal system.

Our Dedication to Clients

Beyond applying the full extent of our experience, knowledge, and skills to every case, providing exceptional client service is a cornerstone of our practice. Effective client communication is a top priority for us — and it is one of our significant strengths.

In communicating with clients, we have a compassionate, straightforward approach. When you turn to us for help, you can expect honest, forthright communication, because we know that is an essential part of building a strong working relationship based on mutual trust and respect. We listen carefully to all your concerns, answer all your questions, and make certain that you have reasonable expectations about the legal process. We keep you informed of the status and progress of your claim on an ongoing basis from initiation through conclusion.

We also want to make everything as easy as possible for you. While we often meet in person with a client in the office, we also frequently discuss matters virtually on Zoom, FaceTime, and other video platforms when it’s more convenient for the client.

To make certain that every injured victim and family that suffered a loss has an opportunity to get a professional legal evaluation of an injury case, we never charge a prospective client to talk with us about a potential claim. If you retain us to represent you, we charge fees on a contingent basis, so you pay us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Attorney Referrals and Co-Counsel Inquiries

In addition to helping individuals and families who reach out to us directly, we welcome referrals from attorneys who have a client needing representation in one of our practice areas. Our decades of experience in a broad range of complex personal injury matters enables us to assist clients in areas that other lawyers may not routinely handle.

We also invite inquiries concerning co-counsel arrangements. Our experience includes working as co-counsel in complex personal injury cases involving litigation in court as well as extensive settlement negotiations.

In both referrals and co-counsel arrangements, we respect our colleagues’ client relationships and provide services with the same level of excellence and commitment that we deliver to all clients. We are amenable to fee arrangements as permitted by the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct.
