Glad you come to Porter County!!
He knows his stuff and he is kind and understanding. I fortunately did not need file or hire him, but he taught a lot and how to fix my financial situation. Thank you very much!

Replied last August 17, 2017Katie, thanks but in fairness you are my niece. Of course, I would help you. I really hate going to Porter County unless it involves visiting your family and you.

A great attorney that cares!
! Have found Attorney Bernacchi to be a caring, knowledgeable out of the box thinker. He is a bulldog for his clients. He represented my wife and I in a proceeding to adopt my step son in a professional and seamless manner. I refer many many others to him.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.
Suspension for a time certain/ Court order required issued in IL, 2019
updated on 10/16/2019This type of suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. Once the suspension expires, the attorney must show the Court that he or she has reformed and should be allowed to return to the practice of law.
Suspension issued in IN, 2017
updated on 01/05/2019This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
“Served a short suspension for Child Support Case where I was told to enter for the wrong party. READ REVIEWS. The market regulates better than Indiana's corrupt, arrogant illegal G. Michael Witte. This was complete false prosecution based on a 2013 case a witch hunt that followed and found nothing or any wrongdoing. I was not allowed a witness and denied due process and my AVVO rating was 10.00 prior to this slandering. "Fake news" is everywhere there is competition.”
