Excellent Services

I had an incident that brought me to the Law Offices of Fernando Bernheim, and I was very happy that I came here. From the consultation, to everything in between, the entire team were all very professional and respectful towards every aspect of the process and there was great communication throughou...t the entire process. If you are ever in need of any legal services, I would highly recommend Fernando and Christina Bernheim to represent you. Thank You for everything!

Thank you Mr. Bernheim

Mr. Bernheim successfully fought two domestic violence restraining orders on my behalf and got them both dismissed. He's sincere and he cares about people.

Look No Further - This is Your Counsel!!!

To say the least, Mr. Bernheim was very thorough and professional in handling my case. He is tough, sensible, and fair. He and his staff are always available, and make sure that they return your calls as soon as they are able. But what I impressed me most with him and his team is that they really ...cared about me. I felt that I was not just "billable hours" to them. I was a person who needed help and advise, and they really provided that to me in a most sincere and genuine manner. They really made me confident and comfortable with them.

Lawyer Christina Bernheim

Christina did a great job. She prepared very well to win my case. She listened to my concerns and is very empathic. She is aggressive and very well spoken. You are in very good hands with her. I highly recommend her.
