Save your time and money!!!

Please find another lawyer and look at there reviews. I hired this guy for a divorce and child support orders almost four years ago and nothing has been done! Simple Divorce not fighting for anything and still could not complete the task he was hired for. If you have money to throw away for nothing t...o be done donate it to a charity!

P.O.S do not hire

Brian Bernard is the worst lawyer I've ever met. I hired him on as a child support lawyer to help me with my child support not only the day of my initial child support hearing that he offered his services to my son's mother he also flirted with her while we're in the same room. Then I had another cou...rt date that I could not attend I'm trying to reschedule on my own but child support court told me that I had to go through my lawyer. So upon notification of this I called mr. Bernard and explain to him that I could not attend that date with him saying don't worry. Next thing you know I have a warrant for my arrest and I get picked up by the police saying that I've always had the warrant because of he not him not showing up to my court date I've never went to this guy's office he's never asked me any information and I still haven't heard from him since being arrested. This guy is a joke and I will seek higher means to notify people about him do not hire this man.

Absolute Liar. I am Brian Bernard. I am married and practice with my wife. I did not flirt the mother of his child in court. I am not certain who this person is. I am certain he did not honor the employment contract and paid his attorney fees. Afterall he was put in jail for not paying child support. I am not for everyone. If you will not honor the employment contract and pay your child support, do not hire me.

Client

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