Hardworking, Trustworthy, Legal Experts

I was arrested at my Denver home in the summer of 2017. Without mentioning any specifics regarding my case I was facing a total of 11 charges. Over two thirds of the charges were very serious non-violent felonies. I was completely innocent of all charges but was involved in the case because I was ...hired by a company to work part time (roughly 8-10 hrs/week). After being arrested I came to find out that the company I worked for and all of the owners were into some very shady dealings. Unfortunately every employee that worked for this company guilty or innocent was arrested & accused of being involved in a criminal conspiracy. I had no previous knowledge of Rob Bernhardt & his staff until a good friend of mine referred me to Rob. 1 day later Rob showed up in person at Denver County to meet with me and discuss the situation. There was very little pressure from him to hire but he did mention he was absolutely the person for the job as he only deals with criminal cases. After hiring Rob I knew immediately I had made the right decision. I had complete trust in him from day 1 and knew he was doing everything possible to fight the false charges against me. He continued to work extremely hard in consistently speaking with the DA on my behalf. I was facing many many years in jail and potential of being a convicted felon....I know Rob & his team spent hundreds of hours reading and combing through thousands of pages of discovery regarding my case, over 3 terabytes of data. It was a very large and complicated case that took over 9 months to be resolved and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He was able to get all 11 charges dismissed & I know it was not an easy process. I would highly recommend Rob & his Office Manager/Paralegal Nic to anyone looking for representation. Rob is extremely trustworthy, has an amazing work ethic, knows Colorado Law inside and out, has great communication skills, and is a bulldog with the DA or the state when that's whats needed. When your reputation, your business, and most importantly your freedom is on the line and about to be taken away there is no other attorney I would trust or recommend more than Rob Bernhardt.

Robert Bernhardt helped save my life

Near the beginning of 2015 I was falsely accused of a serious crime that threatened to ruin my reputation and greatly limit my freedom for life. When it first happened I hired a law firm that specialized in that type of crime and after putting down a large portion of my life savings, I thought that I... had made a wise decision. The lawyer assigned to me was young and did not seem very enthusiastic about his work. Rather than work on a defense for me he referred me to specialists to pay more money for information that we would submit to the district attorney in hopes to compel them to take it easy on me. After spending thousands more on these services and getting nowhere with the DA, I was broke and heading to trial with a lawyer I couldn't trust... if I made another hefty deposit. Stuck in a bad spot, a friend of mine referred me to a lawyer who had helped him in a DUI case. It was Rob Bernhardt. After meeting him, I felt reinvigorated. I knew I was innocent and I had a lawyer I knew was going to battle with me. Rob gave me confidence and hope when no one else could. After making attempts to get somewhere with the DA, it was clear we would have to take them to court and win. With class and intellect, Bernhardt exposed the "witnesses'" and accuser's lies. He took on the prosecution's attempts to smear me. He rightfully proved to the jury that I was an innocent man. And in the end, I was acquitted. My life that was almost destroyed by a vindictive person and an overzealous district attorney was restored. My reputation saved. I cannot ever thank Robert Bernhardt enough for helping me in a time of dire straits and for doing so at a price I could afford. I recommend him to everyone who needs a lawyer and have referred multiple people to him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Robert was amazing

I got into a difficult situation when I was under the legal drinking age involving many different variables. Robert made me feel very comfortable in his office and was imidietly caring yet professional. He took my case seriously and made me feel the most at ease at my court case as possible. I got o...ff with the least amount of repercussions possible, having to take only one class to learn from my actions. I would highly recommend Robert Bernhardt to anyone.
