Attorney Reccommendation

I would only hire an Attorney with the following attributes; A Winner, thoughtful, knowledgable, punctual, attentive. Brian met what I needed in an attorney and more. Great guy who goes above and beyond.

Client

Mr. Bernard represented me during a difficult divorce. He was professional and got me the support I needed to care for my children.

My son

My son had just suffered from a brain tumor. His mother was not at the time cooperating with custody. Brian was sensitive about my son EVEN though at the time he had no kids. My money was low and I pawned everything I had but he worked a payment schedule with me. I now have my son and a piece of mind... that I can never repay. I remember crying every night wanting my son and Brian made that happen. For that I am forever grateful to him and his law firm. He also tried to help me get visitaion with my sons sister but because I was not the biological father that case was dropped. I can only speak for my experience but I know he worked with low income clients who after he resolved their issues refused to pay him. You do the math...... Thanks Brian.

My family really appreciated Mr. Bernard's dedication. He was able to assist my father-n-law with his knowledge and professionalism.
