Divorce Attorney

Dan and Mary help me through a tuff process I can’t thank them enough for being there and helping in all divorce proceedings I strongly recommend Dan Bern law firm for anyone going through a difficult case

Posted by Monica | October 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Amazing Lawyer!!!

I have the highest praises possible and couldn't recommend Daniel Bern more strongly. My divorce case was getting sticky and I had to obtain a restraining order against the ex. The ex responded by suing me for his lawyer's fees to contest the restarting order and he was also insisting that I sell ...my home I'd started purchasing prior to the marriage as he felt entitled to half of the improved value. I was, to say the least: nervous and afraid. I thought I was going to have to sell my home as the ex and his sister were bullying me and telling me that I HAD to sell the house. I was fully prepared to have to pay him $30K+ to go away. This all changed when I blessedly came into contact with Daniel Bern. Dan explained the entire process to me, giving me confidence. He ALWAYS took my call and never sighed or tired of answering my...almost endless questions. Bottom line: Daniel Bern WON my case for me. I had to pay the ex $0.00. If you are in the divorce process yourself and you're feeling scared and alone, do yourself a favor and do anything you can to get Daniel Bern as your attorney.

DAN THE MAN!!!

Mr Bern was the best decision I made during my Divorce and Child Custody journey. It’s never an easy process but Mr Bern took a lot of the stress out of it! Relentless, Intelligent, and reassuring are some of the key-points you will receive if you choose his services. I could not have found a better ...attorney.

She Tried to Keep my Dog!!

After six months locked in a house Duncan is back with his pack leader wagging his tail while exploring the world !! When trying to deal with a well funded highly motivated vengeful unstable ex spouse you must have a motivated experienced unshakable attorney like Dan Bern protecting your best intere...st. Without Dan and Mary’s support I most certainly would be bankrupt living in a trailer without my dog Duncan. Thank You Dan and Mary you are a dynamic team!!

The BEST Family Attorney you could want for in and out of court!

You always want what’s best for your children. During the trying times that come with separation & divorce, you want to find an attorney that is not only there to help you through that difficult time, but someone who is going to be a paragon for your kids. A person that is going to represent your c...hildren's best interests & tell you exactly what you should expect. No nonsense, No games. Just FACTS! Sometimes, it’s hard to find the perfect match for your family. Trust me, I filed for divorce over two years ago, & had two prior lawyers. Neither of them were able to resolve the issues that I was facing. Both told me "as a MAN in California, my chances of getting full custody was almost non-existent to near impossible", even though my case was so strong in my favor. Thankfully fate (and advise from my first attorneys paralegal that out right told me, Daniel was the best in family law) led me to Mr. Bern's Law Firm. I am so thankful everyday that I made the appointment for consultation. What I could not get done with two different attorneys & almost two years of proceedings, Daniel wrapped up in 6 months (had there not been delays by the respondent, it could have been wrapped up in 3). My case was not an easy one, even though I had documented EVERYTHING. It had all the complexity that you could imagine. Daniel handled everything & was so well versed with the law that I now have full Physical & Legal Custody of my Child. We are currently working on the dissolution, but the most important part is done. Daniel Bern is one of the most dedicated Attorneys that I have every met. During our first meeting he explained what should be done & followed through with professionalism & dedication. Daniel & Mary (paralegal) did endless research & when it came time to appear in court, he was an absolute savant with the way he handled the courtroom. I was utterly AMAZED! He is extremely aggressive with his representation. You know he is there to protect your interests. When you retain Mr. Bern's services you can be assured of the following: • Superior Aggressive Representation • Commitment to your Case • Honesty • Determination • Experience • Sound No-Nonsense Advice Daniel will not sugar coat anything. He tells you like it is and will be direct & upfront. It maybe difficult to hear sometimes, but you’ve got to respect the fact that he is giving you the facts & will not mislead you in anyway. You want the truth; you need the truth, YOU DESERVE THE TRUTH. Daniel does not hide anything from you, his client. He gives you the respect you deserve & gives you a full overview of the law & how things may play out. He makes you feel at ease and removes any & all anxiety you could have before and during trail. He is your ROCK, He is YOUR VOICE! There isn't much more information I can give you than what I have. Daniel is, & will continue to be our Attorney even after this case finalizes. I will keep him on retainer, because there is nothing like knowing you have someone keeping your family safe. With Daniel you get that safety, that peace of mind. You have enough to worry about that shouldn't include finding the right Attorney. But thankfully if you’re reading this, you've already found the best one. Daniel E. Bern. Please, if your dealing with Dissolution of Marriage, Child Custody or ANY family law matters, give Daniel a call. It will be the best decision you could ever make. I wasted so much time and money on the wrong choices. But things happen for a reason. Had I not had those early struggles, I would not have found Daniel & I would NOT have gotten custody of my child. He is the best thing to have every happened to our family. I'm sure he will be the best thing to happen to yours. If what I have not convinced you that Daniel is the best Family Lawyer in the Central Valley, then give him a call. It will be your best call of the day.
