Grateful Client

My experience with not only Heidi but with her office staff Maren, Kaitlyn and Emma has gone above and beyond. Heidi and her staff have supported and represented me during one of the most challenging times in my life. They treated me with dignity and respect, provided guidance, support and reassura...nce. I am truly appreciative for everything they have done for me with regard to my case. I have and will continue to recommend Heidi Bernstein to any of my family and/or friends.

Terrific Experience

I had a terrific experience with Heidi and her team. I had a very challenging divorce, and they were so supportive, helpful and accommodating throughout the process. I was able to secure a final agreement in approximately a year and frankly due to my circumstances it could have gone on much longer. S...he was very responsive and always offered insightful counsel as I was dealing with a extremely tumultuous situation. I am ever grateful.

Compassionate from start to finish

I hired Heidi in 2020 based off of a recommendation and referral from a good friend. As a woman I feel comfortable with Heidi from the start because it's always easier to discuss domestic problems with someone you can relate to. My ex was working cash jobs so consistently thought it was hard to prove... income yet Heidi was able to impute income at a higher degree than what I figure any other attorney would have been able to obtain. Every step of the way was explained, and she also lets you make choices of your choosing which makes you feel like you have a say in a legal battle. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a strong, knowledable attorney with a Compassionate Heart.

The BEST!!

I was represented by Heidi during my divorce and through the hardest and most painful time in my life. Heidi and her assistants always helped me to feel strong and safe in their hands. I do not think I could’ve done it without their help. Heidi listened to all my concerns and understood exactly what... I wanted for myself, my son and coparenting. She informed me of all my rights and all my entitlements. My divorce was fast and seamless, exactly how I wanted it. My ex husband and I now have peace between us and are doing really well at co-parenting together. She was always there to listen and I never had to wait long for a phone call back or email back even on days when she was very busy. If she couldn’t get to me I’d always receive an email by the end of the day. She helped me through so many emotions and fears that divorce brings and is truly a professional but also cares about her clients. I would definitely trust Heidi with any future legal needs I may need.

Highly Recommend

My words cannot adequately express my recommendation and gratitude for Ms. Heidi Bernstein. She is top notch in every area, smart, professional, compassionate and communicates in a kind manner. Heidi guided me through a gut wrenching child support and expenses owed case that I thought would never c...ome to fruition. It is due to her skill set and negotiations that gave me the confidence to fight the fight. Due to several appointments at Court, it was easy to observe the level of respect shown to Heidi by the Judge and Court Officers. It is a testament to her determination and strong morals that lead to the success of my case. You cannot go wrong with Ms. Bernstein!
