Best Lawyer in town!

Hiring an attorney is a hard decision. I certainly made the right one. Mr. Bernstein was an honest and extremely knowledgable attorney who worked very hard on my case with an excellent outcome.

Negative Experience

Expensive and the client needs to carefully read the retainer agreement. Plan to spend money if you decide to use this attorney. Read your bills very carefully. There is an entire phone book of lawyers in the area. Shop around. If after you use an attorney you find yourself disliking your own attorn...ey more than your former wife you made a poor attorney selection. It is the clients money. He will charge you dearly for his services. I would never recommend him. It was a negative experience. A.P.

Always fair.

I have hired Dale Bernstein on numerous occasions. He has always been fair and straight to the point. I was prompted to write this review based on the reviews that I read on this site. People are complaining about the fees and Mr. Bernstein's "bedside manner" if you will. First of all the hourly rate... is the standard for this area. Secondly, Mr. Bernstein does not "sugar coat" anything, if he feels that he cannot help you, he will tell you just that. I find that a good quality in an attorney. The last thing that I would want is to throw money at false hope. Mr. Bernstein will tell you exactly what he believes that he can do for you, not what you believe can be done for you and in my opinion that is why people have put negative reviews on here. I recommend Dale Bernstein to all of my friends.

court case involing traffic incident

Mr. Bernstein was very professional in our dealings. I was impressed by his thoroughness and knowledge of the statues that was relevant to my case. The actual experience in the court room was quick ,decisive and to the end of a dismissal of all charges. The fees for my case I thought was very fair ...and reasonable. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Bernstein again or refer him to my friends and family.
