Excellently Handled False Allegation

We never thought, heard or imagine that such a situation could exist. Our values and family future was crushed due to bogus allegation. We were clueless and not able to think until we met Mr. Brody. He listened patiently and then laid out step by step plan. He was never frustrated by our never ending... queries but answered them in detail while calming us. He was there every time we had any concerns. He handled our problem very efficiently. His staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. He and his staff are now like our extended family that understood and restored our faith in the system. Mr. Brody is a super excellent lawyer and would recommend him anytime.

Child Molestation Charges

Bernard worked with me and my family to get bogus child molestation charges dropped against my son. He had a very short window to make this happen, he dedicated himself to my son's case and worked diligently with me to make sure he did not spend 30 years in Prison for a crime that he did not commit.... Bernard put the evidence in front of the prosecutor and took the guess work out of the puzzle which afforded my son his freedom and not have to be labored as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Thanks Bernard!

Bernard Brody, Atlanta's Super Attorney

I have hired attorneys in the past with mixed feelings of disappointment and that the bare minimum or nothing was done. Bernard Brody is a super attorney for good reason. He knows the law, does his research and is a strong presence in the courtroom. His ability to plan a course of action, educate ...and prep his client, and steer the court environment are unmatched. When a curve is thrown, he is quick to overcome and correct inquiry. He has a pleasant demeanor in court that is respected by all officers of the court. His staff is excellent in their jobs as well. Keeping you informed, following up with necessary paperwork and documents, getting messages to Mr. Brody and back to you promptly. All function well under pressure. If you need an attorney, Bernard Brody is excellent and I recommend him highly. He set his sights on an outcome and achieved it. What more can you ask of in an attorney.

Mr. Bernard Brody is an excellent defense attorney and I highly recommend him.

Mr. Brody served me extremely well as a defense attorney on different occasions. He is very knowledgeable, defends his client vigorously and is very accessible. His experience is extensive and I recommend him without reservation. I was very fortunate to retain him for my legal difficulties. If I have... legal defense needs in the future I will definitely retain Mr. Brody again. I have used many attorneys for various things in my life and Mr. Brody ranks right at the top. The criminal justice system is quite nasty, not necessarily fair and very adversarial. If you go up against the court system you better have a capable legal advocate to defend you. It is bright, aggressive and dedicated attorneys like Mr. Brody who help keep our destructive and oppressive justice system in check. I am very grateful for his kindness and help. He is a great guy.
