Excellent lawyer! Highly recommend

I cannot say enough positive things about Joel Bernier. For starters, he truly made me feel like I was his only client, always answered my questions/concerns, and was always there for me. Joel was a rock in a storm for me…Always- calm, collective, and professional when I was not. He constantly played... defense handling my divorce case because of me, not him. Despite not giving Joel any power moves, the man was able to negotiate and make some deals happen when I felt the situation was hopeless. Joel is a good person who operates with integrity. I highly recommend Joel Bernier!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
