Posted by anonymous | April 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional, knowledgeable, flat fee attorney

It was very easy to get a hold of Victor Burnace. I provided my contact info as requested on his web site and he gave me a call as promised. We spoke for a few minutes and I felt confident that he knew what he was doing. He made it clear that I could or could not win based on the circumstances. I a...ppreciated his honesty but knew that he would try his best no matter what. Mr. Burnace attended the hearing at the DMV on my behalf since I was unable to do so. I received an email the night of the hearing advising that he beat my ticket. I highly recommend him!

Best Traffic Lawyer EVER!!!

I used to run a trucking business in the Bronx and Victor fought all our tickets and subsequently won every time. Last year I had gotten a few tickets on my bike at the same time. I was unable to appear due to a death in the family and called Victor the day of and had him get me a postponement which ...I promptly forgot about. I looked at my court date and realized it had passed and was probably going to cost an arm and a leg, 6 points and a possible suspension for failing to appear. I went to DMV to see if my license was suspended and was told "Your lawyer got these dismissed" . Victor remembered and appeared on my behalf. Very grateful. I can not recommend his services enough. If you have any traffic issues, tickets, pending suspensions CALL HIM!

Won my case!

Victor Bernance has been with me since my first traffic injunction. He is always punctual and straight to the point. Never seem disingenuous in his intent and always represented me. Even when I cannot make it and had to work, he would be there. We've had email interactions of up to a year and half... in which I had forgot cases, but he was on top of it and reminded me with a few days to prepare. Do not hesitate to hire Mr. Bernace.

Informative, honest, professional!

Very easy to get in contact with, he calls back within a day and answers emails timely. Very informative, answered all my questions in a way that someone who isn't a lawyer would understand. I felt as if he was not rushing through emails but took the time to answer mine with a well written and info ...pack response. The judge rescheduled my date because the cop wasn't there, Bernace showed up to the second court date free of charge. Keeps you updated throughout the possess (My court dates were both 8:30AM and both times I heard back by noon). He was also very honest about what the outcome could be, no sugar coating. Easy payment method on website. I would recommend him to anyone fighting tickets in the Bronx. + a NOT GUILTY, the judge dismissed my case!

"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."
