Brian Yusef Bernard

Brian did not fail me. I got stuck with a felony, I really thought my life was over. He asked me what I wanted and I told him I really needed it to go away. Im stressing over it, loss my relationship, not to mention my future job possibilities. The state kept saying no to dismissing it, but Brian wou...ld not give up on me. Last Friday my case was dismissed!!! I am so happy, it is such a big relief!!! I highly recommend him.

I had hired Bryan on a family case in 2008 that didnt quite go the way we had hopped, and afterwards i hired the best family attorney in TX with the same outcome. The difference between the two was the concern that Bryan had for my family. He treated me like a person not just a client. And that mean...t a world of difference. I have since used Bryan for almost all of my battles with the judicial system and refer him to all my family and friends. He is a good attorney, trustworthy and punctual. He was also willing to work with my financial sytuation wich helps out alot. I would refer him to you reading this, and if he can not help you Im sure he will b able to let you know who can. Thank you Bryan and all those in his law firm for all the blood sweat n tears put into every case. God bless.

Brian Bernard was completely unprofessional. He exhorted money from my family when I was in custody promising to extricate me from jail and never came through. He addressed me by the wrong name at my bail reduction hearing, and showed up 15 minutes before it started with no remembered knowledge of my... case. At our first consultation, I brought transcripts, recorded calls, and evidence of lies told in the affidavit securing my arrest, and he said that "Texas only pays me a few hundred for this, a little more than a thousand if we go to trial. We're not filing a lot of motions." In fact the only motion filed in the case was made by me. Finally, he did not show up at a hearing, after telling me that because it was a misdemeanor charge only he needed to be present; my bond was subsequently revoked. Then he blamed me for not showing up, even though I was there every time he told me to be. After I called him a liar, he withdrew from my case (after taking $2500 from my family, which as a public defender, he is not allowed to do). He lies about his experience. He lies about his intentions. And when caught in the act he lies about what he has said or done, knowing that the credibility of a criminal defendant will always be sublimated by an officer of the court. Don't hire this man. And ask for a new attorney if he is assigned to you as a public defender; if he contacts you within 30 days of your incarceration, or doesn't reset your case at least 5 times if you're out on bond, you are one of the lucky ones.

Brian Bernard is not someone you want on your side in a criminal case! Ive been going to pretrial for 8 months and he's never shown up to court until last month. I was rest for today. He sent his assistant and reset it again saying he was out of town..he text me 20 minutes latet saying im reset becau...se I didnt show up..I text him and said I was there at 7:45 and I know I was reset. He text back 3 hours later...saying im withdrawling as your attorney. I said I bet you are after that lie! He never once contacted me about my case..never returned my many phone calls and when I went to the office he refused to see me. The one time I txt him he txt back saying stop txting me! Your better off going to tdc! Cuz thats where he will put you anyway..I told him I wanted to fight my case and he said no!

I called 5 lawyers before Brian, they kept telling me how hard it would be to get custody and how expensive it was. Brian just started telling me what he was gonna do first, That sold me, my exwife had a 3 attorney team. I had Brian and his wife. We won custody of my 5 children. Brian fought beside m...e every step, and cried tears of joy for me when He one.
