They were very professional with me. They explained everything to me and helped me through this very difficult time in my life. Thank you

I was referred to Bernie through my job's EAP platform when looking for an attorney for my custody case. Right away, everything was quick, easy, and ultimately seamless. I received a link to schedule my consultation, which Bernie was prompt for. He immediately came across as calm, level-headed, and caring. He's also pretty funny, which is seemingly very rare in an attorney. I quickly met his paralegal, Debbie, who was beyond responsive. Other than during another client's trial, I believe every single email was responded to within an hour or so. (My case has been with them for about 7ish months now - that's a lot of emails.) Debbie is also very quick with paperwork and is clear about what is needed and why I needed it. Bernie has represented me in two hearings and has accomplished exactly what I set out for, which I truly believe to be the best outcome for my son, and ultimately both me and my co-parent as well, despite what the co-parent might believe in this moment. Additionally, what made this experience attainable for me, is that Bernie does not require a retainer, just on-time weekly payments for services rendered. This was exponentially helpful so I could keep up and even in slower parts of my case, I could navigate when I chose to send communications, making it more 'affordable' for me. I truly had the best experience with both Debbie and Bernie throughout this case and when circumstances change again for my family, I will certainly work with Bernie and Debbie again. Bernie & Debbie, Thank you both for every minute you worked with me and helped attain such a positive outcome for my son and I. I appreciate both of you very much. All the best, Rebecca

Bernie and his team are really supportive. They helped me with my legal situation in 2022-2023. He is a really responsive lawyer, and he avoid delays and misunderstandings. He shows flexibility and his team has willingness to collaborate to review invoices, documentation, and discrepancies. I do have constructive feedback to ensure the facts, storyline, evidence are well reviewed and prepared prior the hearing. We know that we have limited time to make a case, but you need to trust your attorney's expertise that he studied really well your case. Bernie and his team were really organized, responsive, and flexible to successfully complete my legal case.

Absolutely the worst , inefficient , incompetent representation from Bernie. He came unprepared to hearing and made key mistakes that totally changed the outcome of hearing. * He is not interested in solving issues of contention. * For every piece of work done by paralegal [ who's timesheet is accurate for the work ] , Bernie adds another timesheet for himself for same time as paralegal. This resulted in inflated time and expense to client. With no visible outcome for the work done by him. * He charged for hearing preparation on key data , but totally appeared unprepared and made false representation to Judge. Once he made that mistake , hearing went south. * He also jumped in at times with useless input that further upset the Judge. For anyone going with Bernie , can be assured to waste money . He is absolutely not interested in solving issues but adds processes to drag and complicate. Wish google had negative rating. Not even worth 1 for the damage he has caused to the client.

Bernie and his staff were excellent!

Update: Yes, I said this because, in my opinion, I would not retain him ever again. He once said he represents the children, not me. Not the person that retained him. In my opinion, I would hire a more partial attorney to represent you.

I am so incredibly grateful for the work of Bernie and his team. I was able to get a favorable result after many months of litigation against my ex-partner. Bernie, Debbie, Talia, and co-counsel are highly thorough, work with urgency, and keen on communication. Bernie reassured me that everything would be ok, and while challenges occurred along the way, I'm so glad I entrusted him with such an important legal battle. I would highly recommend Bernie and his team for your legal needs.

Had a great consultation with Bernie. He listened intently, asked relevant questions and offered sensible advice on next steps. He stayed on the call with me well past our “free consultation” time to ensure I understood the my rights and billing process. He clearly knows the divorce system in and out. His no nonsense and factual approach was what I’ve been looking for in an Attorney. I look forward to working with him and his team to put this chapter in my life behind me, because like his site says “Its over!”

Fast response time. Knowledgeable

I reached out to Bernie and his team because I was a bit lost and confused with the whole paperwork and the process. Bernie responded quickly to my requests and we set up a virtual meeting for a meet and greet. We went over the details of my divorce and his team got straight to work to sending out the paperwork right away. I liked how their fee system works. It is affordable and increments. The basic expectations is straight-forward and self-explanatory without high up-front costs. It was so easy to work with his email because we connected mainly email. Since I'm always on my email, it worked out well. I highly recommend Bernie and his team if you're looking for an affordable fee schedule and flexibility in your case's inner workings because they can pivot fairly quickly if needed.

I made a great choice in hiring Bernie, Debbie and team to handle my divorce. Their deep experience in divorce law, and in my case with the issues specific to the Alameda County court system, let them handle each issue that arose during the process with ease. Their advice with regard to the issues I needed to make decisions about was always spot-on and in the end successfully supported my corner during negotiations over sticking points. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Bernie is the best attorney I've ever had. He has prevailed on every issue I've had with child support. He is most ethical and fair. He also has a great sense of humor.
