This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Hardworking, puts the client first, results oriented

From the get go, Mr. Bernard put my case, and my best interests first before all else. I was nervous at first getting an attorney, but with Mr. Bernard, a point was made to make sure I understood what was happening, and that I was comfortable. Throughout my case insurance fought tooth and nail to sa...ve whatever money they could, daily Mr. Bernard made calls and advocated for me to make sure I received what I was owed, I didn't have to stress. Thank you again for everything.

Extremely professional, caring, and transparent attorney

Shane from the very beginning was very upfront, and never blindsided me throughout my lengthy court case. I made a mistake when I was 18, and was charged with a felony. Shane was very sympathetic to my situation, helped me to get the care I needed to rehabilitate, and presented my case with all its m...itigating factors to the court, obviously with meticulous, detailed effort, and helped me reduce my charge down to a minor misdemeanor. Because of Shane Bernard I will not be hindered in life by a felony charge, and am free to live my life how I choose to. Shane gave me a second chance, and seemingly did the impossible.

Very Special Attorney

Shane Bernard is one of the most compassionate, self-assured, and knowledgable attorneys I have ever utilized, and I have had the unfortunate luck of experiencing the services of numerous attorneys. He helped me with numerous convictions, including larceny, assault, battery, and public indecency. Few... other attorneys were able to assist me, but Mr. Bernard was able to get all the charges resolved. He was, in essence, perfect. I definitely recommend. You will surely not be disappointed.

Wonderful lawyer

Every time I've needed Shane, he's been there. Very patient and knowledgeable. Always answered my calls on weekends and after office hours, which really helped to take away anxiety. They have a really nice office too!

An incredible professional. Highly recommended!

- I highly recommend Shane Bernard - Shane handled my Employment / Labor matter. - I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers. Shane Bernard is an outstanding lawyer. Shane's expertise in employment and labor law is expansive. He successfully represented me in an employment racial di...scrimination settlement deal. I am cognizant of other lawsuits in which his clients were awarded million dollar settlements. He presents an immaculate personal appearance. He is always well-prepared and his confidence and competence literally fill the courtroom. I highly recommend him without reservations.
