Highly Recommended

I can't say enough about Attorney Mary Bernal. This was my first time dealing with the legal system. Right from the start, Attorney Bernal walked me through exactly what kind of consequences I was facing with my charge and what her plan of action would be.  It was a very informative conversation ...we had for about 60 minutes including her praying. From that point forward the majority of my worries were lifted.  I would highly recommend Attorney Mary Bernal. She is a true professional and knows her way around the court system.

Personal, Caring, and Professional. Highly recommend!!

Mary Bernal is an outstanding attorney and person. She handled my back-to-back cases of DUI's with the utmost concern and care. Her office staff is knowledgable and easy to get into contact with. Mary stayed on top of all my court dates, paperwork, and legal counseling. When all of my penalties were ...assigned, she took time to explain what was going to happen before and after. Mary showed the same concern a friend would, but the professional service of an extremely experienced attorney. Thanks Mary.

Linda - current client

We retained Mary for our nephew in February of 2012. She has been a Godsend for our family. We have yet to go to trial but everything that she has explained to us along the way has occurred exactly the way she said it would. When this incident occurred we had no idea what to do, where to go. We n...ever imagined we would be in this position. This case has two female defendants and four brothers involved - we could only afford one attorney for my nephew with the most serious charge. Mary stepped in and worked with the other attorneys and made sure the deals they received were fair. She helped one of the other defendant's family by putting them in contact with a bail bondsman that gave them a large discount because of her. Her paralegal Maricela was fabulous! She is always helpful and willing to answer any and all questions. She always exhibits a high level of professionalism as well. Mary's colleague, Jahzeel, on occasion has stood in for Mary during our continuances at court and she is also very knowledgeable and professional. She updates us as to what we can expect in the hearings. Believe me when I say this law office is equipped with the best support staff and attorneys your money can buy. I read some of the reviews stating the attorney was all about money - I certainly hope they realize when it comes to your defense, you are getting what you pay for. When it is all or nothing, you definitely do not want to bargain shop for your future! This office is a Christian faith based practice and to know she is doing God's work reassures me she was put into our path for a reason! I am glad we did not go with the other attorneys we met with. I have faith in her and her practice - I know the outcome will be in our favor because she has God's favor. I tell everyone I come in contact with about her and I keep her cards in my purse - I would hope that my friends and family wouldn't need to call but if they do I want them to have the best! We will forever be grateful and indebted to her and her practice.
