Bonnie G. Bernstein

Bonnie Bernstein! It is my privilege to highly recommend her to anyone who needs a family lawyer. She is extremely knowledgeable in the field of law and knows how to deal with complicated issues that arises in and outside the court room. Bonnie is meticulous, detail oriented, patient and her paper w...ork and motions leave very little room for disputes from other attorneys. Through her aggressive but fair nature, she has earned the respect and admiration of her peers and judges alike. My divorce was lengthy and very emotionally draining. She was not just there for me all the time to provide the legal advice but she was there as my mentor and a life coach. She was able to control my impatience and tethered my worrisome conclusions. Her impressive language, logical explanations and convincing arguments made me even stronger and confident in myself. Outside the court, she put away the legalese and buoyed my spirits with light humor and words of encouragement. My case was deliberately dragged on but Bonnie proved to the court that the issues were baseless and the court rewarded us legal fees reimbursement and a very good settlement. Are there rock stars in the legal field? Absolutely, and Bonnie Bernstein is way ahead of the pack. I would never use another attorney and have recommended her highly to all my friends. They too have positive feedback and would join me in recommending her.

The title of this review says it all. As a client for several years, I have had Ms. Bernstein handle a very contentious divorce, including post divorce problems; family matters and personal matters. I vetted several lawyers before choosing Ms. Bernstein (hereafter called Bonnie as preferred), some ev...en charging up to $300 for consultations, which was at no cost with Bonnie. Working in Manhattan at the time made lawyers there easily accessible, but the vetting process and a "gut feeling" led me to choose Bonnie. I have not been disappointed. The trust we built together by excellent communication, with Bonnie's innate reading of my Type A personality keeping me calm and in check made our professional relationship so much more personal and friendly. As a professional person myself, I have a good deal of knowledge. She could tell me to stop and think. Inform me that my opinion may not be the proper legal way to proceed. Bonnie was always usually right. No one wants my opinion any longer, they ask "What does Ms. Bernstein think?" I have recommended Bonnie to the only one friend seeking divorce, but to many others who need almost any legal services. I am not one of those gushing reviewers. But when AVVO wanted me to rate Ms. Bernstein, I was happy to respond. I believe it was the movie "Philadelphia" that Tom Hanks quotes the joke "What Do You Call 100 Lawyers At The Bottom Of The Ocean? A Good Start." I heartily concur! Bonnie G. Bernstein is the only lawyer I would dive to the bottom of the ocean to retrieve!
