Bernie and his staff were excellent!

Attorney Bernie and Debbie are very professional. They handled my case and prepared all the paperwork in a timely manner, with reminders of when things were to be submitted. They were mindful of the cost and tried to avoid running up the bill unnecessarily, despite the other side's efforts. This was a difficult case, but Attorney Bernie stayed throughout it all and was very understanding, explaining things in layman's terms along the way. I also loved that there was no retainer required. The understanding was that I paid my invoice on a weekly basis. It made things a lot more financially manageable. I appreciate all the effort you and your team put into this case!

Update: Yes, I said this because, in my opinion, I would not retain him ever again. He once said he represents the children, not me. Not the person that retained him. In my opinion, I would hire a more partial attorney to represent you.

I am so incredibly grateful for the work of Bernie and his team. I was able to get a favorable result after many months of litigation against my ex-partner. Bernie, Debbie, Talia, and co-counsel are highly thorough, work with urgency, and keen on communication. Bernie reassured me that everything would be ok, and while challenges occurred along the way, I'm so glad I entrusted him with such an important legal battle. I would highly recommend Bernie and his team for your legal needs.

Had a great consultation with Bernie. He listened intently, asked relevant questions and offered sensible advice on next steps. He stayed on the call with me well past our “free consultation” time to ensure I understood the my rights and billing process. He clearly knows the divorce system in and out. His no nonsense and factual approach was what I’ve been looking for in an Attorney. I look forward to working with him and his team to put this chapter in my life behind me, because like his site says “Its over!”

Fast response time. Knowledgeable

I reached out to Bernie and his team because I was a bit lost and confused with the whole paperwork and the process. Bernie responded quickly to my requests and we set up a virtual meeting for a meet and greet. We went over the details of my divorce and his team got straight to work to sending out the paperwork right away. I liked how their fee system works. It is affordable and increments. The basic expectations is straight-forward and self-explanatory without high up-front costs. It was so easy to work with his email because we connected mainly email. Since I'm always on my email, it worked out well. I highly recommend Bernie and his team if you're looking for an affordable fee schedule and flexibility in your case's inner workings because they can pivot fairly quickly if needed.

I made a great choice in hiring Bernie, Debbie and team to handle my divorce. Their deep experience in divorce law, and in my case with the issues specific to the Alameda County court system, let them handle each issue that arose during the process with ease. Their advice with regard to the issues I needed to make decisions about was always spot-on and in the end successfully supported my corner during negotiations over sticking points. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
