LPS Greatness 6 reviews 6 months ago I had an initial phone call to speak about regarding a client’s situation. She was very present, professional, knowledgeable and thorough. Amazing relief about knowing how to be ahead of the situation and how to act and guide if it gets to a level beyond rational/mutual agreement. Thanks Bernadette!

I do not recommend Bernadette

BERNADETTE SHOWED UP ALMOST 1 HOUR LATE TO COURT. She said "Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal". We had just chatted 4 days before and put together a "plan of action" for said hearing. She walked in, filed her motions of appearance and discovery (Which she said she'd file the week before t...o expedite my case, obviously a fabrication) then postponed the case for a month ignoring our "plan of action" Bernadette then No showed the next court date and sent a text saying "Just tell the judge you fired me". When I told the judge and showed her the text, she said " Ms Gonzales should know that she has to withdraw from your case.and I can not speak with you until she does". I had to reset the case a month out to save some money to hire another attorney. When I asked for at least a portion of my $1000 back from Bernadette, she said "Read the contract, I'm not giving you anything" I'm not sure what she's going through as a person, as I know we all have our crosses to bear, but I will never do business with her again. I'm extremely disappointed as I considered Bernadette a friend. I was wrong Will
