Amazing Criminal Defense Attorney

Mr. Bray was very professional and caring during this difficult situation. He worked hard to get the very best results for me and I appreciate his dedication. He's extremely competent in criminal defense and I would recommend him to others.

BEST criminal lawyer!

I was referred to Mr. Bernard Bray after consulting with many other lawyers. I hired him on the spot. He's a very experienced 30+ years lawyer. He was very straight up and honest about what he can and cannot accomplish for my case. I really appreciated it. Though he did wonders for my situation. His ...professionalism and confidence really impressed me. He's very well connected, always does his very best to achieve the most results for his clients. I myself am very thankful. His integrity is superb. I would highly recommend him to anyone anytime.

Exceeded Expectations!

Bernard is a very professional attorney who really gets results - in fact he has exceeded my expectations in two cases. In one instance he was able to get a 3 felony DUI case reduced to one misdemeanor - saving me from serous jail time and a felony record. In another case, Bernard was able to get th...e charges completely dismissed. I will be forever grateful for his help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
