Family Law

I had hired Tom 5 yrs ago to arrange a parental visitation schedule order which was simple , he went out of his way to drive for my case which was held in kankakee IL ( it was very difficult to try to find an attorney who would venture out so far for my cause ) . Fast forward to 2020-2021 I had sough...t his services yet again for a contempt of court violation / parental time witheld by primary custodial parent . We are still on an ongoing fight for this but his drive to come through to the end for me is one I cannot thank enough . He is a blessing in respect to the hard work he puts in to work all the kinks and issues that may arise from learned experience and applies that with his assertive tone when presenting and compassion to his clients .

Mr. Bernikowicz was very nice and pleasant. He was also one of the most reasonable lawyers that I found during a difficult time. He always returned my calls and answered any questions that I may have had at that time. He worked on my divorce case, and I highly recommend him.

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.
