RED LIGHT TICKET AND SPEEDING TICKET

Victor has gone above and beyond my expectations. 2017 was a bad year for me, received two tickets back to back and I was in need of a lawyer. I can appreciate the straightforwardness and honesty of Victor. Victor made the proccess effortless. He always kept me up to date with how the proccess worke...d and was upfront with what can happen. But luckily he pulled a rabbit out the hat and had my two 3 year old tickets dismissed and I was found not guilty. Saving me Time ,Money and my peace of mind. Thank you Victor I will hire him Anytime

Great attorney!

Victor did an excellent job handling my case. He was organized, diligent, and thorough, and promptly informed me of any updates on my case. I would recommend him to anyone looking to handle a traffic ticket in the Bronx!

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.

Honest and Prepared

I got my speeding ticket in March of 2018 and contacted Mr. Bernace for a consultation before pleading not guilty. Right from the consultation I knew I was in good hands, he informed me of the chances I fighting the ticket (not good) and was actually knowledgeable of the officer that ticketed me. Abo...ut a month before the court date I hired Mr. Bernace to represent me and within the hour he contacted me and informed me that due to a technicality my ticket had been resolved and he refunded me entirely. Any other attorney would have kept the money and said they had gotten the ticket dismissed but not Mr. Bernace! If I am ever in need of a traffic lawyer again he will be the first person I contact.

Victor saved my perfect driving record!

I felt so much anxiety and stressed out leading up to my case that I planned to argue alone (big mistake to do this, imho). Hiring Victor was the best decision I have made, period. I contacted him a measly 4 days prior to my final hearing and not only did he take on my case on such short notice, he b...eat it! He was able to prove that it was impossible for the Police officer to be in a realistic position to accuse me of the violation. The negative thoughts of having points on my CDL, having to tell my employer and getting a hike on my insurance rate was giving me a ulcer. I felt hopeless and thanks to Victor, I still have my license clean of points, and finally after 2 years, peace of mind. Thank you sir!

"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."

"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."
