Great Advocate!

Bernardo did an excellent job with my case. He kept me informed, discussed all options with me and assisted me in making decisions in my own best interest. Bernardo truly cares about his clients and works tirelessly to negotiate the best outcome to meet the clients goals. I would recommend anyone to ...Bernardo, without a doubt.

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.
