also known as Bernal Law, APLC
For almost a decade, I served as a prosecutor handling virtually all types of criminal cases. I have prosecuted and defended cases involving misdemeanor charges, domestic violence, DUI, DWI, white collar crime, insurance fraud, gun charges, violent crimes, drug trafficking, drug possession and other types of cases. The difference between me and other defense attorneys is that I know how prosecutors think and how they investigate and present their cases. I am also completely FLUENT in Spanish. I will fight for you so that you can move on with your life.

We contacted Mr. Bernal after consulting a number of sources. We subsequently became aware Mr. Bernal is a sought after speaker, and a subject matter expert in his field.
