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.

Best family law attorney!

I hired Mr. Daniel Bern because I heard he was the best in town and that’s exactly what I needed. He and his assistant are exactly that! Daniel is a beast in the court room to say the least. Daniel has fought tooth and nail for me. He and his assistant were always there to answer my calls and text e...ven after hours just to make sure we got everything done on time and to make sure I understood everything every step of the way. He is in my opinion the very best in the legal profession. I have already referred friends to him and they say the same. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Successful Family Lawyer

I was referred to Dan by a friend of mine and I'm forever in debt. Dan exceeded what I thought could be done with my case. He kept my daughter's best interest at heart. He and Mary were always available to answer all my frantic, random questions. He didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me wh...at I NEEDED to hear. His experience and professionalism in the courtroom is remarkable. Thank you so much for keeping me calm and for all the tips/pointers. I without a doubt recommend Dan Bern and his office for any legal matters you may have.

Guera

Mr. Bern is a very good lawyer. His professionalism is excellent as he deals with his client’s cases in his office or in court. Daniel Bern goes straight to the point and does not play games with his clients nor with his opponents. He ensures that his work is done when representing you as a client fr...om beginning to end. In my case, Mr. Bern helped me ensure the safety and wellbeing of my children. I can say that Mr. Bern is very honest, and extremely knowledgeable about Divorce, family law, and the regulations of California law. To me there is no other lawyer that really seeks the best for his clients regardless of the gender and client’s children. Mr. Bern and his wife are an excellent team.

Daniel Bern is a Godsend, truly the BEST attorney

I am very grateful for Daniel Bern. He has been representing me for the last 7 years, with a quadro, child custody, visitation and child support. My case is complex in nature. That being said, I needed an attorney who possessed a strong knowledge of the law, professionalism, integrity, cou...rage, fearlessness and trustworthiness. Dan met all of these needs and more. He has gone above and beyond to protect the best interest and needs of my children and I. He tackled complex and difficult issues in this case without hesitation. I honestly don't believe I would have found another attorney capable of accomplishing what he has for the protection of my children. Through the last 7 years I have witnessed numerous cases in family court and I have yet to see an attorney represent his client as well as Daniel Bern has represented me. He truly is the BEST. I have learned so much about the law from his thorough explanations as well as to trust the process. Dan knows what he is doing, he knows the law and he's not afraid to fight for his client. I have placed my trust in Daniel Bern and I have had no regrets in these last 7 years. Daniel and Mary (paralegal) are the perfect team. They are professional and they care about their clients. Mary and Dan are sincere down to earth people of integrity who truly seek the best interest of their clients and clients children. God has blessed my children and I by Dan and Mary. If you are ever in need of representation for a family law matter, contact Daniel Bern. He will give you his sincere, honest assessment and he will follow through for you.
