Horrible!
Russell D. Bernstein in South FL is the WORST Traffic Ticket Attorney out there. He charged me a whopping $99 and then sent me a letter in the mail stating that I owed ANOTHER $206 to the courthouse. Meanwhile, my ticket was for only $266. Now, I'm stuck paying $305. I would've been better off paying...
You know, these types of reviews never cease to amaze me. Firstly, it's interesting that somebody would call $99.00 a "whopping" attorney's fee. Based upon where the ticket was issued and any costs absorbed by my office, I would hardly find $99.00 to be whopping. And believe me, I value every single dollar that a client pays to my law firm. I am sorry but I need to try and make a living as well. It was a flat $99.00 fee. Now, more importantly on to the result of the case, The client stated that the ticket itself was $266.00. The court assessed a court cost of $206.00. According to my math, the court cost was $60.00 LESS than the citation itself. As a reminder, I am not the Judge or Traffic Magistrate and do not impose court costs on my clients, and needless to say, these costs do not go to me, they go to the Clerk of Court. If the client wanted to pay the ticket herself and accept the 4 points put on her license and deal with those consequences, she certainly could have. Every client is noticed in writing at the outset of the case that court costs, if any, are additional and are to be paid by the client directly to the Clerk of Court. The true result that the client refuses to see was NO POINTS, NO CONVICTION, NO COURT APPEARANCES BY THE CLIENT, AND A COURT COST LESS THAN THE PRICE OF THE CITATION. Therefore, to say nothing was done is an ignorant statement and an absolute joke. As far as notifying the client is concerned, every client is notified in writing by my office, which is the most professional way to provide a result. As far as having common courtesy, this client could have practiced what she preached and called my office at any time. And by the way, my cell phone is also on my website, which is 954-652-2101, and you can feel free to call me anytime you wish, as I am standing by. Instead of slandering me and posting this, you could have given me the courtesy of a phone call. As far as never using me again, that is completely your choice. As far as any other poor reviews are concerned, if there are any, I have answered and explained just about all of them. In addition, I am fortunate enough to have an awesome client base since 1997, and I respect and work hard for each and every one of them. As a result, my reviews have been amazing and I thank my phenomenal client base for that. Respectfully submitted by, Russell D. Bernstein, Esq. Attorney at Law
