Best Traffic Lawyer!

Very professional and extremely helpful!!! Victor is great at what he does and I would 100% recommend his services! Has helped us beat four cases with a 100% success rate. Thank you again!

Not Guilty!!

talk about finding a needle in a haystack!!. Mr Bernace did just that and my speeding ticket was dismissed!. If most of you havent figured it out by now most of NY and surrounding areas have a speed limit of 25 miles per hr. One night while going to pickup my daughter from school in the Bronx, I was ...issued a summons for speeding 40 in a 25. Not sure how that happened since I was stopped at a light and then pulled over not 50 feet after the light. Long story short Mr Bernace was able to show that the officer made a series of mistakes on the summons as well as when the officer showed up to court, the Judge completely dismissed the entire summons. Mind you this is typically not the norm, but it really helps when you have someone fighting for you and looking out for your best interest. thank you

Last Minute Help!

I reached out to Mr. Bernace less than 24 hours before my court hearing for two moving violations in the Bronx and not only did he make himself available, he was kind and was able to get my violations dismissed!!!! He caught a detail during the hearing that I know I certainly would not have, causing... the judge to rule in my favor. I am very glad I engaged his assistance rather than attend the courts on my own. Victor was easy to talk to and very responsive/helpful. Regardless of the verdict, I would have given him 5 stars. His knowledge and experience with the courts and it's employees truly proved invaluable.

Thank you, your comment that "regardless of the verdict," you would have been happy with my representation. I always warn my potential customers that in NYC we lose more cases than we win. You just got to be an optimist and fight the ticket hoping to win and be prepared to lose if that happens. You also mentioned another benefit of having a lawyer fight your ticket-- not missing a day from work.

Tremendous Bronx Traffic Ticket Attorney

Was very well-prepared for my case at the Fordham Rd DMV/TVB court yesterday. An almost 3 year old case for improper use of a cell phone while driving my sanitation truck on bruckner blvd in 2016. Victor Bernace won the case and got the ticket dismissed. Saved me 5 points on my license as well. Grade... A

"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."
