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 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.

I met Heidi after being recommended by another client who had used her for their divorce. After having moved on from my first hired attorney, who did nothing, Heidi was able to handle the changeover of documents and proceed with speed and attention to settle the divorce as quickly as possible. I felt... she always had my back with regards to what assets should rightfully be awarded to me. She was always in contact and upfront with costs to me during the process. She was able to advise me as to what was best for me and provide guidance for future matters. She also was able to settled the entire process within 6 months. I would definitely recommend her with confidence.
