Brian Yusef Bernard

Since hiring him, he has lied about filing legal documents, I have had three warrants issued for failure to appear because he failed to inform me about court dates. His office manager volunteers his time and has to hear a lot of phone calls from clients like me who are fed up with his complete lack o...f professionalism and abuse of his position. He should not be allowed to practice law. Even the Constable who came to visit me at home told me that I needed to replace Brian Bernard because he would take my money and do absolutely nothing. He is sooo right. Beware of Brian Yusef Bernard!!

Mr. Bernard has helped me thus far with one case. And when another issue surfaced, there was no hesitation on who would be my legal council. I was served with a lawsuit on Monday night at 6:53, I called Brian's office at 7:20 and he promptly called me back at 7:34 pm. In my prior case there was a lot... of uncertainty on MY part, But Brian just relayed to me the TRUTH of what I was facing. So there were no surprises when it came down to dealing with the D.A. I have a vested interest in the life I lead so it is only on proven trust that I work with Mr. Bernard.

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.
