Ticket Dismissed!

Mr. Bernace was an exceptional lawyer, very professional and hard working. Fighting a speeding ticket in NYC is not easy, but Mr. Bernace was positive during the consultation and gave me hope that I could win; this is why I hired him. Also, the pricing was very affordable compared to others. I was fa...cing $203 fine, 4 points on my liscence and an automatic suspension for 2 months (all for a ticket that stated I was driving 42 mph on a 30 mph posted speed limit.) Mr. Bernace was able to pull out with a win! No fine, no suspension and no points! He was able to find mistakes in the officer's testimony, which dismissed my ticket. Mr. Bernace called me right away to let me know the results and sent me a detailed email about what happened at the hearing. I am so happy that I chose Mr. Bernace to represent me. I would highly recommend Mr. Bernace! Thank you.

Quality lawyer

i contacted Mr. Bernace for a speeding ticket and he responded in a timely fashion on what my options are and honest about my outcome base on my history. In the end he kept me up to date on my case via phone call and email and efficient in his tactics.

Great Advice

Victor consulted with me on my son's ticket in the Bronx and let me quickly understand the landscape of options and probable outcomes. Very honest.

Highly Reccomend Victor

Mr. Bernace, is very knowledgeable in defending traffic tickets. He's personable and will give you updates on what is going on with your case via text and email. The outcome wasn't one that I desired but overall I saved on the assessment fee and also points, which helped me save long-term.

"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."
