Bernie Johannes Kempen

Divorce is definitely a lot of low and high, and quite a roller coaster, especially when your ex wife is just a source of constant problems. I am glad I decided to hire Bernie as my lawyer: Bernie kept me on track and gave me a lot of advices, and explanations to understand the complex process an...d timelines. Divorce can be extremely frustrating especially with timeline moving really slowly and your lawyer have no control of it, but Bernie was always available to reply to my email when needed. Every court appearances with Bernie went really well, and it was good to see we were both in agreement and didn't need to discuss for a long time while my ex wife and her lawyer were so unprepared. Bernie made sure that we had the time to discuss everything before going to Court so we will be prepared. My divorce has been now finalized, and still need to go through various administrative paperworks: despite the fact that I was hoping for a slightly better outcome, when I step back and look at the agreement Bernie helped negotiate, I am really pleased. I was told that a good agreement doesn't please anyone and this is the case, but really with what's happening for me post divorce, the agreement we ended negotiating is quite good for me. Not only Bernie has been a great lawyer but I want to say that Debbie his paralegal assistant has been truly awesome all along. It's good to work with a solid team when going through such difficult time. So thank you Debbie for all your hard work too. I will definitely recommend Bernie for anyone in need of a good lawyer (and I have already done it for a friend who is going through a painful and long divorce)

My experience with Bernie and his firm has been excellent. Kempen & Company is representing me in my Marriage Dissolution. My case has been very challenging, and It was not moving forward until I retained Bernie and his firm. He came to me highly recommended from a close friend who works with in th...e court system. He is a well-respected and knowledgeable attorney in the field of Family Law. Bernie and his firm have been very understanding, supportive and helpful guiding me through this case and process.

He and his staff always respond quickly, and they will be there for you and support you as a client. He will look out for you and your best interest. I strongly recommend retaining Bernie and his firm to represent you in any Family law matters, big or small or at least speak with him/ firm you will not be disappointed. M. Allen

I hired Mr. Bernie Kempen to represent me in my recent divorce case. Bernie always had my best interests at heart and did a fabulous job of keeping me honest. Bernie's knowledge of family law is impressive, to say the least. He is also extremely compassionate and sincere. He is great at calming your ...nerves and is really effective at helping you navigate the ugliness of a divorce gracefully. If you find yourself having to cope with something as unfortunate as a divorce, you need someone on your side who is honest, ethical, composed, compassionate and has thorough knowledge of family law; Bernie is all this and so much more! I cannot thank him enough and will forever be grateful to him for representing me.

Perhaps the most devastating time in my life and my trust in humanity was destroyed; yet I needed help to navigate the Californian legal system, and an advocate for my remaining family. Bernie Kempen and his staff were there to assist every step of the way. He conducted himself with honesty and dig...nity, he helped me to see past my initial emotional reaction and formulate a fair plan for my children and I.
