In a relatively short period of time, Mr. Bernstein established himself as one of the top immigration attorneys in the United States. Mr. Bernstein is a guest commentator on the subject of immigration law for the Fox Business News channel and for BBC World Radio.

Since 1999, Mr. Bernstein has been the host of a daily and highly popular, immigration-focused call-in radio show on 93.5 FM, a leading New York radio station that is also broadcast internationally. His show has been made popular for his effervescent sense of humor as well as for his immigration knowledge.

Mr. Bernstein also conducts seminars on immigration, both nationally and internationally. Currently he heads up the Immigration Department of Spar & Bernstein, and is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Mr. Bernstein is available for dynamic keynotes and presentations with both domestic and global perspectives on immigration law and issues.
