Mr.Brody's review

After Mr.Brody started representing me in this case, he was very dedicated in trying to resolve the case with a dismissal. But after some obstacle set in from the DA's office, he started preparing for the jury trial. Meantime, he still kept trying what he can to communicating with the DA's office and... the judge for a possible dismissal. I could not appreciate him more for the favorable outcome of this case because of his effort.

Very knowledgeable

Attorney Brody was by my side throughout the whole process. He did a phenomenal job with this case. Attorney Brody along with his staff were very professional and did everything in their power for my case. This was the best decision ever made and I am very thankful for all his hard work!

Astute, kind, respectful, diligent

Hiring Attorney Brody was the best decision I made. Because of bad decision and lack of knowledge about the law I ended up in enormous trouble. I consulted with other lawyers who seemed worried more about their fee rather than their client. Some of these other attorneys had also been district atto...rneys before, which I thought would benefit me. Instead they looked at the case as if he/she was still the DA. I consulted with about three to four different lawyers who suggested the easiest route for the case. Unfortunately this "easiest route" was easiest for them. I would have had to plead guilty which would have certainly destroyed my career, not to mention my life as well. After reading the reviews I consulted with Attorney Brody about my case. At his office I was treated with respect. His staff was very courteous. Even before hiring him as my attorney, my case and I were given full attention by him and his faculty. Attorney Brody also had his private investigator work on the case which played an exceptional role in the case. Shortly after, the case was resolved and dismissed. This not only saved my career, but probably my life as well. It was the best decision to hire Attorney Brody. He is astute, respectful, and intelligent. What I really admire about his practice is that he always gave me his full attention and respect. He was able to do that because he only takes few cases and this allows him to focus on the case and the client. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best I give him an 11/10. There are times when we all make bad decisions or mistakes. These mistakes shouldn't define who we are. Everyone deserves a second chance. I was able to find this second chance because of attorney Brody's brilliance. I highly recommend him.

Bernard was excellent

From the very beginning of taking me as a client, Bernard took charge and took actionable steps to prove my innocence. Even though it took 3 years to have the DA dismiss my case, Bernard was persistent throughout to get my situation resolved. He did a great job with a difficult situation to get t...he right result and my innocence proven.

I started eating and sleeping again after hiring Bernard Brody

I walked into Bernard Brody's office already feeling disgusting and defeated by the horrible accusation against me. Bernard, and his investigator Shannon, made my wife and me feel at ease immediately. Upon telling them the situation I had been handed, they were eager to get to work that day and immed...iately gave me instructions on what they would need me to provide so that they may get started. They shared my feeling that we could not waste any time. Every few days, Bernard and/or Shannon checked in with me by phone and gave me updates throughout the entire ordeal. Each phone call I received from them gave me confidence that they were not sitting around wasting my precious time. Bernard scheduled a polygraph test for me right away, and soon thereafter I did a psychological evaluation. Both tests came back very favorably for me and Bernard and Shannon diligently kept working away at my case. Long story short, in roughly 3.5 months, Bernard Brody did exactly what he said he would do and had my case dropped before any arrest or court appearances. I highly recommend Bernard Brody's services if you find yourself falsely accused of a sex crime.
