Posted by Terri | January 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

The most unbelievable experience of my life!

Mr. Bernace represented me for a traffic ticket in Bronx Fordham Court. He was correct in that I would be found guilty and have to pay the resulting fines. I didn't mind using him anyway as I felt it gave me a better chance than representing myself. The process was unbelievable. I never physicall...y met him. I contacted him through his website, emailed a picture of the ticket to him and that was all he needed. The points or fines on the ticket (I don't remember which) was reduced just as he'd stated he would fight for and that was it. Did I have my ticket dismissed? No. Was I blown away by him altogether? YES! This is where the story goes from okay and acceptable to phenomenal - I had to pay the fine within 30 days of the court date or else my license would automatically be suspended. Work gets in the way and I don't even remember responding to Mr. Bernace after he'd informed me of the judge's decision which was quite rue of me. Irrespective of that, completely unexpected and far outside the scope of what he was paid to do, Mr. Bernace CONTACTED ME JUST BEFORE THE THIRTY DAYS WAS UP TO REMIND ME TO PAY THE FINE!!!!!!! I'd completely forgotten and would have had my license suspended for sure if not for him. I'm still floored by that. He's the best just for that alone. I highly recommend him.

Speeding Ticket

I can't say enough about Victor. I had an 80 mph speeding ticket in a 50 zone just before the Throgs Neck Bridge that was set up as a speed trap. Not guilty! I was beyond thrilled especially since many attorneys told me the odds were stacked against me. Victor did too. He was honest and forthrig...ht. In the end he found a mistake by the cop and presented a great argument to win the case. I don't think you will find anyone with the amount of experience he has and his prices are reasonable too. I am recommending him to all my friends and family. He is simply the best at fighting traffic tickets.

Review for Victor Armando Bernace

Mr. Bernace is prompt in returning calls, is very savvy when it comes to technology. He knows the law and advised me very well on all of my options. He is reasonably priced and he priced better than his competitors and provided me with good results. Time wise I did not have to appear in Court and wai...t . He took care of everything and was able to get my ticket dismissed. if I am cited for another ticket in NYC I will definitely retain his services. He is the right man for the job.

Excellent knowledge and service

Victor explained his plan of action and carried through with it flawlessly. We had very positive results, but even if we didn't it would not have been for Victors lack of trying or knowledge. He kept me fully informed along the way. I would not hesitate to use him again.

"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."
