Review of Bernard James Conway

Bernard has always performed his legal duties in a most professional and honest manner. I always felt I was in good, capable hands who had my best interests foremost.

Posted by Ken | March 15, 2011

Bernard J. Conway

“I have known Bernard for more than 35 years. I have always known that he was bright, hardworking and personable. I have recently retained Bernard as legal counsel. He is savvy, sensible and knowledgeable. If you are seeking legal counsel who will return your call, give solid advice and make you f...eel as though you have an advocate, call him. If you want counsel that never returns calls, makes you feel like a 5th wheel on a wagon and treats you like you are an annoyance, don't call him. My sister-in law and brother are now working with Bernard as well. I cannot give a higher recommendation. Ken Kelly”

OUTSTANDING REPRESENTATION!

I have been fortunate to have Bernard represent my foreclosure dealings. He has been pleasant to work with and I highly respect his advise.

Expert in Banking,Foreclosure, Real Estate, - A Consumer's Advocate.

When I was referred to Bernard Conway I was skeptical. I had interviewed multiple "real estate" attorneys - and found each lacking the comprehensive knowledge of today's complex housing, banking and foreclosure market. As a real estate broker and an avid researcher - I had yet to meet an attorney ...that had the comprehensive knowledge I was seeking. My initial meeting with him - he took the time to thoroughly listen to my situation review my file and research. I knew immediately by the questions he asked and his commentary - he was well-versed in the environment. He was the "specialist" I was seeking. I experienced something entirely different when I met Bernard. He is not a "typical lawyer" - what i find is he is truly a "professionals attorney" - he is receptive and open to work collaboratively to ensure the optimal strategy. He recognizes that the environment is changing daily and is committed to his own research and education He is bright, personable, receptive and is a very good communicator I have seen him as dedicated to expanding his knowledge to ensure he is giving his clients the very best options. You can rely on a personalized approach. He has that brilliant Irish humor - that has been invaluable in the midst of a complex situation. I have referred family and my closest friends and colleagues - and if you are searching for an attorney that truly cares about representing your interest - I would strongly recommend Bernard Conway. He has a keen eye and a breath of knowledge in today's emerging field of strategic real estate foreclosure defense and financial strategy in this complex market. Truly a consumer advocate !
