Reliable, trustworthy and diligent!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bernace over the last 3 years to fight a traffic ticket in the NYC area. He has been diligent, and reliable which is exactly what you need in your representation. He has also been very educative throughout the whole process, teaching me the best way to get our d...esired outcome in the case, and understand why we are going with each approach we take. I absolutely would hire again, should I have the need!

Excellent Lawyer!

This is my first time working with Lawyer Victor and I'm impressed with the result. His communication with a client is superb! I got a ticket for disobeying a traffic sign in The Bronx of which I didn't even see the sign and there wasn't any pavement marking also, so I was left with two options eithe...r to plead guilty and pay the ticket with "2 points on my license" or give it a try by giving the case to a Lawyer. Upon a recommendation from a relative, I gave the case to Lawyer Victor A. Bernace. I got the ticket dismissed yesterday. With great emphasis, I recommend him to anyone because his rates are affordable, and have a very effective communication style.

Excellent lawyer

I received a speeding ticket he was able to resolve the ticket with no points on my license. I didn't have to appear in court. Very happy with his service

Excellent attorney!

Victor A. Bernace, Esq is a knowledgeable, honest, affordable and patient lawyer, who communicates clearly. Even before I hired him, he was very generous with providing me counsel and information about my situation. He provided me a link to connect virtually to the court to appear for my hearing, whi...ch I had no idea I could do. He was also honest about my situation and the likelihood of winning. Additionally, he won my case and sent me the notes he prepared in order to do so! I would give him ten stars if I could!

"Notwithstanding the fact that we have never met and I am a competitor of his (as I handle moving violations too), Victor is an honest and hard-working traffic lawyer. Without a doubt, Victor earns my endorsement as an excellent attorney. His online reputation and the one he has inside and outside the DMV is a very positive one."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've known Victor Bernace for over 20 years and have only great things to say about him. He tends to not promote himself as much as he could. For his customers, the best thing he provides is his detailed oriented service. He answers the phone all the time, he tracks your case, and keeps everything coordinated through his use of technology. He's always implementing new cloud based programs and ideas to improve his service just for his customers. Victor first wants to find out what your problem is to see if he can help you. I think he loses customers because sometimes he's too honest about what the chances of winning a case are. What his customers don't realize is that their best chance of winning is by using him."
