I hired Robert Bernstein after meeting him at his office in Beverly Hills. I had met with several other attorneys and Robert's knowledge of the law and his professionalism made me comfortable immediately upon meeting him. He suggested a proactive and aggressive defense even before my first court date for the arraignment. The other lawyers suggested a wait and see attitude. I was facing a felony criminal charge with a possible prison sentence. Robert's approach was the correct one, he was able to convince the District Attorney to not file any criminal charges resulting from the altercation which led to my arrest. Robert convinced them to dismiss the entire case! Anyone in need of the best criminal defense should call Robert immediately! Thank you for all you did for me!

Robert Bernstein is a tenacious, gracious, and altogether brilliant defense attorney. Those adjectives were handpicked deliberately, and you'll find that they describe him well. The justice system is a scary place and there are many things the layman doesn't understand. Robert communicates every detail to you until you feel perfectly comfortable and know exactly what is going on. He then follows up with an email to be doubly sure you feel comfortable. In the dark world of the justice system I'm not sure I'd trust many others to guide me through. Thanks Robert, somehow it has been a pleasure.

I was really frightened with the charges hanging over my son. Robert not only gave him a great defense but worked with our whole family to make sure we understood everything that was happening along the way. I'd highly recommend him as the best attorney for anyone accused of a crime.

Mr. Bernstein is the best criminal defense lawyer anyone could hope for. Without going in to too much detail about my particular charges, I can say that Robert Bernstein literally saved my life. We reached a great result because of his never-ending hard work. Mr. Bernstein was always direct with me about what was happening and kept me informed of all details of my case. Although I was offered a plea deal which would have resulted in no jail time, Robert understood that I would not ever plead guilty to something I did not do and he supported me every step of the way. Ultimately, we decided to proceed to trial and Robert was a brilliant force in trial, he dominated the court room and passionately argued my case throughout the course of the trial. He destroyed the credibility of my (false) accuser with a blistering cross examination. Yet, at the same time he was always very professional with the judge and other lawyers. We reached a great result and I was vindicated. After the trial, several of the jurors came up to me and actually hugged me and told me that they felt for me. Without hesitation I would recommend Robert Bernstein to anyone who needs a GREAT defense attorney. Do not waste your time with others, Robert Bernstein is the only lawyer you need when you are facing criminal charges.

Several months ago our lives changed forever when federal agents came to my husband's business with a search warrant and guns drawn, and seized all of our computers and files. My husband was told he was facing serious Federal criminal charges which could send him to prison for 30 years. The agents also got a court order freezing all of our business and personal bank accounts. We didn't know where to turn and met with several lawyers we researched online. However, none of them felt like the right attorney for our needs. Many didn't have experience in federal criminal cases and some just seemed more interested in how much we could pay them than in our defense. Finally, a co-worker referred us to Robert Bernstein. From the first telephone conversation I had a great feeling about Robert, which only got better once we met with him at his office in Beverly Hills. Robert listened to the details of our case, asked the right questions and thoroughly explained the legal process and exactly what we should expect in the coming weeks and months. Robert even called the lead FBI agent during our first meeting to introduce himself and learn more about the investigation. Robert was calm and reassuring, and his knowledge of the law and the process were impressive. Since he used to be a prosecutor himself, he knew the process from both sides. We definitely knew that Robert had the skills we needed to help keep our freedom and save the family from financial ruin. Robert got to work on the case right away, and was able to convince the prosecutor to release our personal computers back to us. More importantly, he was able to unfreeze our personal bank accounts so we could pay our living expenses. Robert's fee was higher than some of the other attorneys we met with, but with our lives and freedom at stake we knew it wasn't the time to be looking for the lowest price. Hiring the best definitely costs money, but it was the best money we have ever spent. Robert never stopped fighting for us and got an incredible result. He's a great attorney and now a great friend. We can't thank him enough for all he did for us. We're more grateful than he can ever know. Thank you Robert!

As far as I am concerned, Robert is the best attorney in California. His knowledge, care, and responsiveness are unmatched.

FINALLY! An attorney who talks the talk and walks the walk!! 2 years ago I was falsely accused of a horrible crime. I hired a very expensive lawyer assuming the situation would quickly be resolved as the supposed victim confessed to lying. I ultimately had no choice but to relinquish that attorney 1 day before my trial was scheduled to begin as I refused to accept a plea deal. I also realized the attorney I had hired was not ready to go to trial and no longer had confidence that she could properly represent me. That’s when I contacted Mr. Bernstein. After explaining my situation, he immediately agreed to represent me and appeared with me in court the very next day. We went to trial 30 days later and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From the jury selection process, to the trial itself, everything he did was incredible. Not only did Robert have the prosecution witnesses help exonerate me, he also caught the Lead Detective lying multiple times in her police reports and previous testimony. Without a doubt I would have either accepted a horrible plea deal or been in prison had in not been for Robert.

Earlier this year I unfortunately found myself the victim of a malicious and false criminal actuation, that while ridiculous due to it's seriousness in nature had the potential to spiral into something much more damaging to both my Family life, Business, and Career. Anyone who has ever been falsely accused knows the shock, shame, and fear that can overcome them. Luckily Robert agreed to represent me, and his demeanor during a trying time in my life was not only reassuring and confident, but realistic as to the strategy of defense, challenges I may face, and possible outcomes of investigation. Robert resolved the criminal investigation in and a very professional and timely manner, the investigation was not only dropped, but I was exonerated with no record of investigation, and exonerated. I received the best possible outcome. I have Robert Bernstein to thank not only for my sanity and freedom, but also with making sure that I continued to have a positive outlook when my outcome was uncertain. Robert's worldview, humor, and antidotes were very insightful. I would highly recommend his services if you've been falsely accused, or need legal guidance with regards to any situation involving criminal defense.

This was my first time hiring a lawyer, and Robert made the process virtually painless. He really made it seem like he cared for me as an individual, has a good sense of humor and best of all, is effective at what he does- he was able to get my case completely dismissed. I'd recommend him for anybody.

Mr. Bernstein is truly the most exceptional attorney in California. We hired him to represent our son who is attending college in CA and unfortunately found himself charged in a criminal case. Being out of state ourselves, we were frantic and did not know where to turn for help. Thank god we found Robert Bernstein. He calmed our fears and communicated with us regularly throughout every step of the process. Ultimately, he saved our son's life from ruin. We cannot thank him enough and recommend Robert to anyone who finds themselves in legal trouble.

Robert was an amazing attorney and really got me through a tragic time in my life. He was understanding and his knowledge of the law was more than worth his services. If you're seeking legal advice or need an attorney to represent you I would highly recommend calling his offices. He gives a free consultation and will always offer you the best possible legal advice. He's always been available and I was very blessed to have him represent me.

Robert is a great attorney - he is thoughtful, listens and has an intimate knowledge of how the system works. Highly recommended
