Gary S Bernstein

When i made a bad decision, I was referred to Mr. Bernstein. My first impression was having a phone call answered on Sunday morning, and a consultation scheduled the next day. I was stunned by the speed with which my questions were answered (emails were usually answered within the hour), and felt ver...y confident in his knowledge of the law, the judges and prosecutors, and how to get me the best result. Despite my mistakes and unusual circumstances, I avoided a conviction, got favorable probation conditions, and was able to go on with my life.

“I cannot thank Gary S. Bernstein enough for representing me with my DWI . He was very professional, kind and always there for me when I had a question. Our first conversation in your office was very informative and straight forward. You had a plan of action and that plan suggested that I go i...nto rehab for my progressive drinking and other circumstances. Which was the best decision I could have followed through with. Gary gave me hope and reassurance that I was going to be ok.. . Not only the legal capabilities but also the realness, compassion, and genuine caring about his clients. My case wasn’t some super exciting, profitable case, but even so Gary still treated me with utmost importance and respect. Mr. thinks and acts accordingly “on his feet” when in the courtroom. I am truly grateful for his knowledge as my family and I witnessed this first-hand during my trial. I couldn’t be more happier and satisfied with your service. If anyone ever needs legal help, your firm will certainly be the first and only that I recommend.” Susan P.

Having Gary represent me in court for my DUI was one of the greatest blessings of my life! I barely had any money and did not have a job at the time and he worked with me out of the kindness of his heart.He is one of the best lawyers I've ever met and I have lawyers in my family! He knows most if not... all the judges in Baltimore county. He is very straightforward, knowledgeable, kind-hearted and he actually cares about his clients. I actually met a couple of other people in the towson area who had Gary represent them in court too and they agreed with me. My case was not a pretty one, and I spoke to another lawyer prior to Gary and they pretty much told me that I should plan on doing some time. Gary, on the other hand, informed me of the charges and time I was facing (not just the DUI) but instead of scaring me away, he quickly and proactively got me into programs, classes, and AA meetings. He prepared me for court and sure enough I walked free that day. Gary actually understands alcoholics..I remember he told me that he actually attends AA meetings once in a while..not because he's an alcoholic but because he wants to understand alcoholics and the program. He wants to help people..not just represent them in court and get paid. There are few lawyers out there like him and I am truly grateful that I found him! Today, I am sober and I live a very happy life and I give a lot of the credit to Gary. He is truly a blessing!

I hired Gary after receiving my first ever DUI charge. At the time of the incident I was scared and felt as if my life had come to a complete stop. Gary immediately assured me that things were going to be okay and that he was there to help me overcome this huge barrier, and I believed him. Gary has a...n incredible amount of experience with DUI cases and is very proactive in creating new laws and networking within the judicial system, which can be very benefitical as he is respected throughout the community. Gary fought my case in court and I receivied 18 months unsupervised probation for a DWI rather than a dui (which was honestly the best case scenario since I failed my sobriety test). Gary informed me of all my rights, answered my millions of questions, and encouraged me to complete all the necessary actions before my court date (such as going to alcohol classes) What I think I like best about Gary is that even though my case is over he continues to work with me in filling out job application and apply for lisensure, without no extra charge! (And let's be honest thats not typical). Gary also answers his phone everytime I call, wether it's on the weekend or 1am in the morning; he's the type of lawyer who actually gives a damn about you. One thing that Gary will not tolerate well is people who don't learn their lesson, so if you didn't learn be ready for some tough love. He wants the best for all his clients and it show inside and outside of the courtroom.

Gary Bernstein was the worst lawyer me and my family have ever dealt with in our lives. He was hired to represent for a bail hearing and completely bombed in the court room, allowed his client to not meet with him prior to the hearing, and did not even meet with his client after the hearing. He allow...ed his client's constitutional rights to be violated without sticking up for them as he allowed the detention center to violate his client's 6th amendment right (the right to counsel) and 8th amendment right (the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment).
