Robert Michael Bernstein

I hired Mr. Bernstein after another attorney had made many promises and delivered nothing. Mr. Bernstein took over my case and really went the extra mile. His knowledge, wisdom and tactics resulted in the charges reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail time. His deep concern for my well being was v...ery comforting in such a stressful situation. I absolutely recommend Robert Bernstein to any one who finds themselves in need of a criminal attorney. He is by far the best!

Almost two years ago, I heard a knock at the door that no person ever wants to hear - a search warrant from a federal agency. I had an inkling as to why they were there and quickly went into panic mode. To add fuel to the fire, my entire family was home at the time. The feds left with many of my pers...onal items and their questions left my family and neighbors wondering if they really knew me. I quickly met several lawyers, with Robert being the first. Each lawyer thereafter asked me if I had met any lawyer before meeting with them and I always told them. Every lawyer that I met said nothing but good things about Robert when I mentioned that I had spoken to him. Because I had not been charged with anything and there was a chance that I might not be charged at all, I ended up hiring another lawyer who told me that he could get me off on a light misdemeanor and boy was that a mistake. Last summer, almost 15 months after the feds raided my house, the cops blindsided me with an arrest warrant. The lawyer who I hired did nothing on the case and actually lied. He hooked me up with this skeezer bail bondman who wanted more money and held the threat of going back to jail. I knew I was in trouble and called Robert. He took over my case two days before my arraignment. The charges were actually more serious than I expected, but after weeks of negotiations and mitigation, the sentence was light. I was sentenced to 60 days in county jail but was out in three days on a serious felony. I still have several obstacles to overcome and stay out of trouble, but I still have my career and people do not know about my legal woe. I trusted Robert's instinct and appreciated that he was accessible. The first person I called when I got out of jail was Robert.

It was my first DUI, and I hope my last, and when the cops pulled me over, I was devastated and scared. A recommended Criminal Defense Attorney Robert M. Bernstein. When I called, I didn't expect to speak to him directly. Yet, there he was, on line and willing to listen to a very nervous and scared w...oman. Mr. Bernstein from the very start put me at ease with his professional manner. After asking me a few pertinent questions, he explained the options that he would consider based on his many years of experience in processing DUI cases such as mine. I felt assured that I was in good hands and at the end of the day, I got a fair and satisfactory decision. If you know of anyone who needs a sharp and hands-on attorney, Bernstein is your guy. He's the best and very nice, too. He encouraged me to make better choices so that this event doesn't happen again. That's great advice!

A former friend of mine had accused me of sexual battery. This is a crime that carried a potential maximum sentence of 8 years in state prison. Considering the severity of the charges and the fact that it was my first time being arrested one can only imagine the fear and stress I was going through. M...y life and career were at stake, but Robert was able to provide me with peace of mind and ultimately my life back. He was able to convince the DA that my accuser had consented to the contact, which resulted in my case being rejected by the DA's office and thus prevented them from filing charges in the first place. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined such a favorable outcome. Thanks to Robert I can honestly say I have never been charged with a crime. When Robert claims to be an aggressive attorney that is merely an understatement. He fought for my behalf with a vigor that one typically only reserves for the most dire of situations. Yet at the same time he was compassionate and made me feel as if I was his personal acquaintance or the only case he had (which I can I assure you it wasn’t). After our first meeting he gave me his personal cell phone number and made himself always available. Prior to hiring Robert I called an attorney’s office who wouldn’t even speak with me personally when I was providing the initial details of my case. Instead, all communication was through an assistant and even when he had to reschedule my initial consultation he had his assistant do it for him. This is something I could never imagine Robert putting his clients through. With Robert you get what you pay for and then some.

I hired Mr. Bernstein to represent my son in a criminal case. He was terrific, always returned our calls, and we even had his cell phone number from the first meeting. It was a complicated process and Mr. Bernstein patiently helped us through it all. Finally, he was able to work out a great deal and... literally saved my son's life from ruin. We cannot express enough gratitude to this exceptional attorney!!!!
