Rebecca A. Berger , a partner at Charny Karpousis Altieri & Donoian  in Marlton, earlier this year became the new host of RadioVision Network's "Justice for All," a half-hour weekly streaming series of one-on-one discussions in which legal professionals discuss career paths, niche practices and more.  The show streams on Thursdays and Fridays at 7:00 p.m. Berger relaunched the program in January 2020. " Once in the interview chair, the questions just began to flow and I quickly realized how human we all are−even attorneys. I want the audience to learn about the law, yes, but from a very human perspective," Berger said in a statement. She is a practicing family law attorney and former prosecutor, and  has been practicing law for 13 years. Prior to joining her firm in May 2015, she worked as an assistant Burlington County prosecutor for seven years. During her four years in the Domestic Violence Unit of the office, Berger trained law enforcement officers in the investigation and prevention of domestic violence. She is a member of the state and local bar associations, and is co-chair of the Burlington County Bar Association's Family Part Section. Last year she was appointed to the New Jersey Supreme Court State Domestic Violence Working Group.  She earned her B.A. from Rutgers University in 2002 and her J.D. in 2006 from Rutgers Law School.
