"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Berne and I have represented co-defendants in several cases. I have always been impressed with Mr. Berne's thorough preparation, his commitment to his clients, and his effectiveness as a courtroom litigator. He has prevailed in cases that would have been lost without a skilled attorney."
"Steve is a great defense lawyer. I have gone to him for advice and guidance with clients, he always knows the right assistance to give. Any client would be in great hands and know they are getting a strong defense with Steve."
"Steven is a consummate professional. He is prepared, polite, and practiced. Steven is a tireless worker who possesses key traits for success, both inside and outside the courtroom. He has deservedly earned the respect of the legal community to the benefit of his many satisfied clients."
"My first experience working with Steven was when I assisted him with a jury trial in Fulton County. He put on a fantastic defense and acquitted his client on a number of very serious felony charges. A conviction would have certainly led to a lengthy prison sentence, but Steven's client walked out of the courtroom vindicated. Since then, I have worked with Steven on a few cases, and he has always lived up to that same exceptional standard. Steven has a stellar reputation, and it is well-deserved."
"Steven is an outstanding attorney. He works tirelessly for his clients. He always has an excellent grasp of the facts and the law. I endorse this lawyer."
"Among the characteristics of a premier criminal defender are: knowledge of the law, courtroom skill and presence, zeal, creative thinking and passion for the practice. I have and will continue to refer state and Federal criminal matters to Steven Berne with the highest level of confidence as he possesses an abundance of all these traits and more."
"I have known Steven for 10 plus years, and he is an amazing attorney. He is one of the most creative lawyers around, and he will always find an angle to win any client's case. He is very thoughtful, caring, and honest with his clients. He is in this business to protect people from prosecution. I have tried many cases with him, and I always watch him with great admiration. You are in great hands when you hire Mr. Berne."
"I have known Steven for the last three years. He consistently comes up with new and aggressive tactics to represent his clients. He is often the most prepared lawyer in the room. Steven is an excellent lawyer that I would recommend to anyone charged with a crime."
