Heidi Mia Bernstein

Heidi Bernstein, a seasoned attorney, is one who plays games. I was sent a subpoena for my employee’s (and boyfriend’s) divorce requesting every single financial document for both my business and personal finances for years including and prior to his employment. The list was very detailed and serv...ed on Rosh Hashana which was disruptive to my peace and caused unnecessary stress. She requested all my invoices, purchase orders, taxes and more. None of my personal or business finances has anything to do with my employee’s divorce. I was fully cooperative in sending his payroll records. I contacted an attorney who said the subpoena for all my personal and business finances was too broad, irrelevant and overly burdensome. When my attorney called Heidi, she said the subpoena was sent in error. I find that hard to believe that a seasoned attorney would send a detailed subpoena in error. After Heidi’s error she sent another subpoena requesting for me to be a witness at the divorce trial. That subpoena was sent without the required 20 day notice so I was not required to testify and notified Heidi. Heidi stated she was going to reschedule the trial. The divorce was settled days before the trial. I do not appreciate attorneys like Heidi who play games and who think they are above the law by filing irrelevant subpoenas and not sending subpoenas within the required 20 day notice. A lawyer should be held to the highest degree and know and abide by the law.

I am so thankful I hired Heidi for my divorce. Upon first meeting with her, she was very thorough in explaining the situation and possible outcomes, she put me at complete ease and I knew I was in good hands. Heidi was always very quick in getting back to my emails or phone calls whenever I had a q...uestion or concern. She is truly compassionate and professional both in and out of court. I was so happy to have Heidi as my attorney during such an emotional time, her hard work and dedication showed me how important it was to have such a great attorney!

After hiring Heidi for a simple divorce, she dragged me and my children through Supreme Court System wiping me out of all my money, not securing child support, legal fees way over $40K which is 2x's my salary!! After getting no where with my case but well padded pockets for her prior firm, she up and... QUIT!!! The law firm not only left me to try and defend myself in Supreme court, they froze my bank account, took me to court, and now I must pay for the next 10 YEARS!!! Do not believe her when she says "we're almost at the end, just a little bit longer." STAY FAR FAR AWAY she is a vulture only out for herself NOT her client.
