Samuel Jacob Bernstein

My child, a college student, made the call that makes your stomach drop. They'd been accused of something serious, and I was over a thousand miles away. Within 24 hours we had found Sam, had a consultation, and hired him. We consulted with one other local firm but were much more impressed with Sam... than anyone else we talked to or read about. I'm a lawyer and I found Sam intelligent, compassionate, and very experienced. We worked with Sam for 8 months before my child was completely exonerated. Even though my child did not do what they were accused of, Sam was needed and invaluable. The other lawyers involved were sloppy, unprepared, and appeared incompetent. I was so glad we didn't opt for a free lawyer, and believe Sam was worth every penny we paid him. He communicated well with my child and me (after receiving permission to talk to me), he worked hard, he knew the law and the procedures, and he was able to give us realistic views of what to expect at each phase. We will always be grateful to Sam for everything he did for us.

Samuel Bernstein was very accountable, accessible, aggressive, and knowledgeable attorney. He advised me on all the options of my case, weighed the evidence with me, and explained the possible outcomes. My case was dismissed after 5 months in the court system. I cannot express how grateful I am that ...he helped me get this off my record. I would recommend him for anyone needing a criminal defend attorney.

I hired Sam to represent me in a student conflict matter which we ended up getting dismissed. He was incredible to work with! He is very knowledgeable and was great at giving advice on how to handle the issue. Sam is very honest and straightforward in all senses, which is exactly what you want from a... person who you are hiring to help you with an issue which is high stakes and very personal. He is great at being able to listen and facilitate a discussion in order to determine the best course of action for the case. He sets out clear expectations, and always has his focus set on the end goal. On top of everything else he is incredibly responsive and willing to put in the work whenever the moment calls for it. At one point we were completing a final draft on the fourth of July, which I think is a simple yet very concrete example which demonstrates that Sam truly cares about his clients and is willing to go above and beyond!

Sam was a great and very helpful attorney for me, he clearly communicated to me all the details of my possession case, and what I had to do for the court. He explained my options and did his job well. Luckily my case was dismissed, but Sam still went to court on the date to assure that and that every...thing went as it should. I highly recommend anyone to hire Sam Bernstein to represent them for quality legal service.

I reached out to Sam for my traffic violation after reading his reviews on this site. He was very prompt in responding to me and answering my many questions. He has an intimate knowledge of the court system and explained the process as well as next steps. Sam is by your side at every step of the proc...ess. He is highly effective, very professional and was a great help. I would highly recommend him!
