Very Good Lawyer

Jessica has been my lawyer since early 2014, she represented me in my DWI case in Austin TX. I was very satisfied with the outcome of that, additionally Jessica has helped me handle some additional issues that have arisen after, I had been harassed by an employee of Dallas County, who caused a great ...deal of issues. In one day Jessica put an end to this. She has always gone above and beyond for me and I would highly recommend her.

Excellent DWI/Criminal Lawyer who will fight for you!

I was lucky to have Jessica Bernstein as my lawyer during a case. She fought for me relentlessly, she knew her facts, the law and the exact plan of action for my case. She went above and beyond sending me research about other similar cases so I would know what to expect and what I could do in the me...antime. This was vital to me as I had no criminal record this was a first offense and I was scared and clueless in this process. She got my case dropped and I know it because of her dedication to my case. If your looking for someone to have your back and not just take another case then Ms. Bernstein is the lady to call. She clearly cares about each and every client and knows the Law! 5 stars isn't enough!

Best DWI lawyer ever.

Jessica represented me for a DWI walk through and also the court appearance. She stayed with me every step of the way even when the officer stated she could get going. In court she demanded the best possible outcome. She pays special attention to every detail. The consultation was free and she even t...old me to call for advice before the DPS hearing takes place for coaching. I would give my highest recommendation of all lawyers that have ever represented me.
