Bernard Ilkhanoff

Bernard Ilkhanoff recently represented us in the adoption of our granddaughter. He is very approachable, knowledgeable, and astute in the law. At a very difficult time in our lives, he was not only a capable attorney, but also showed himself as a caring father aware of the importance of family. I...n addition, his staff was very gracious and caring with all the preparation for our hearing.

A life saver

I was undergoing charges for a DUI case and had no knowledge of how to handle it in court. It was the first time I had ever been pulled over even for a ticket! I was scared and unsure of how to proceed and Mr. Ilkhanoff was of GREAT help. He walked me through step-by-step and was able to help me proc...eed with a first time offense through the ARD program. Now my criminal charges have been dismissed. It wasn't easy, but I am convinced it would have been much more difficult for me without his guidance. I'm happy to say I hope I'll never need his assistance again, but if I did need anything... he is the first I would think to call.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
