Gary S Bernstein

I made a mistake that could have jeopardized my career. Gary was recommended to me by a dear and trusted friend, also a lawyer. When I met Gary for the first time he laid out the severity of the offense and the possible consequences which was very dismal. I had two hearings approaching, one with the ...MVA that could have required an interlock in my car, the second a trial in Circuit Court that could have had long term negative implications. With his astute knowledge of the law he not only averted an interlock but got me acquitted of all 4 charges in Circuit Court. Way more then I expected, I would highly recommend him to anyone who makes a similar mistake.

Gary far surpassed my expectations for the outcome of my trial, by winning what seemed like an impossible case. Without much follow up or management on my end, Gary did a lot of work prepping my case, and was very self sufficient and self motivated. I’m very busy myself with work, so having someone s...o dedicated and knowledgeable working tirelessly on my case was such a releif. When it came to the trial day, Gary knew exactly what to do from start to finish. Beyond his great knowledge, immense insight, and outstanding reputation - it was his relationships with the prosecutors, other lawyers, the judge, and everyone in the court house that was so helpful. He has the utmost credibility amongst his colleagues which was clear. Because I had Gary’s representation, I had the best outcome possible, beating and overcoming many charges; DUI, DWI, and several other tickets. I’m so grateful to have met and worked with Gary, it was the best investment in this entire process, worth every penny and more.

I don’t know if 4000 characters will be enough to truly review Mr. Bernstein. His ability to grasp the facts AND nuances of a case is extraordinary. He made it look so effortless I was worried at times. That combined with his unwavering support has made what could have been a personal and profession...al ‘career ender ‘...something I can now move forward from. And breathe again. He saved my life theoretically and probably literally had things gone in a negative direction. You cannot go wrong hiring Mr. Bernstein. He is the best of the best.

If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for you look no further. My son was issued a court summons for assault in the second degree. Although the charge is a misdemeanor, it can have very serious implications for a young person with respect to education and future employment and we knew we ne...eded a lawyer. Despite the exculpatory facts of the case, the first lawyer we talked to told us he would not recommend going to trial, but would work for a stet. After learning a stet could take several years to resolve and expunge we were discouraged and decided to talk to another lawyer. I researched a number of lawyers but based on his professionals reviews and the very favorable client testimonials I decided to call Gary. Immediately after the call, I felt I had the right lawyer. My wife, son, and I subsequently met with Gary to discuss the case in detail. To keep us from missing work he met with us on a Saturday morning. After interviewing my son, he talked with all of us together. Gary was straight forward, truly concerned with my son’s welfare and confident of a good outcome. After the meeting we felt a true sense of relief that we had someone who would fight on behalf of my son and not just try to make a deal. True to his word, Gary successfully advocated to have the charges against my son dismissed; we didn’t even have to go to court. Gary then promptly prepared the expungement paperwork and told my son if he ever had any questions he could call him at any time. I highly endorse Gary. Based on his many awards he is obviously a talented lawyer, but equally as important to me was his genuine interest in the welfare of my son.
