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.

Excellent attorney

Bernard did a fantastic job for us. His experience was right on target. He set our expectations appropriately and followed through with everything he told us he would do.

Best decision I could have made

I couldn't be happier with the results Bernard got me in my case. I was faced with very serious allegations that were unfounded and just not true. I choose Bernard because he is the best at what he does. Bernard was there for me and my family every step of the way and my case was finally dismissed. A...nyone who hires Bernard Brody is sure to be pleased with the results! !

Highly Recommend Bernard Brody

I was charged with a serious child pornography crime. Bernard was able to use his in-depth experience and skill and knowledge of computer forensics to prove the allegations against me were false. All along my nightmare Bernard always kept me highly informed and apprised of next steps in my defense.... I sought out the best attorney in this field because my defense hinged having someone with deep knowledge of computer and sex offense associated crimes. Luckily I found the best in Bernard and his team. I highly recommend him if you are facing charges in this area.
