BEST OF THE BEST

“When I sat with Mr. Bernard and explained my case, my sister and I knew right away this prestige law firm was THE ONE. Mr. Bernard listen very carefully, took notes and gave me the confidence that everything was going to be fine. I lost my fiance, my partner of 10 years to cancer, and while grieving... his family decided to take me to court to take away from me everything that my fiancé and I built during our 10 years relationship. I am so grateful and thankful that Jordan M. Freundlich represented me and we won the case. Jordan also listened carefully, was always available via email/phone and he dealt with those people without me having to be preset in the court. I am forever thankful and grateful for what this law firm did for me and my family. This law firm is absolutely professional! THANK YOU”

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
