Best Criminal Defense Attorney in LA

Several months ago I was arrested and charged with a serious felony crime and facing many years in prison. After retaining Robert Bernstein, he was able to get my charges reduced to a misdemeanor and I was placed on probation with no jail time. I am so thankful to have found such an amazing attorn...ey. The personal attention I received was outstanding: all of my phone calls were answered or promptly returned, he always made time for me when I needed to meet with him, and he was able to thoroughly prepare me for all of my court appearances. I highly recommend Robert Bernstein to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He saved my career and my reputation, and for that, I cannot thank him enough.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
