I was arrested March of 2022.charged with 2 felonies .hired an attorney who was definitely not in my best interest not in the slightest bit,treated me as if he was a prosecutor rather than my attorney,urged me to plea out to 10 years with doing 85 percent of it.after nearly a year and 7000 dollars later,I fired him and accepted my financial lost.for the second time,I hired Sam to come aboard and fight for me.within 60 days of hiring Sam,what the previous attorney failed to do over nearly a year span,Sam did more and beyond. Thanks to his tenacious fighting ,not backing down to the prosecution,that 10 years went down to time served ,no prison time,no probation,no court fees. Sam helped me regain my life and freedom,not once,but twice,I am forever grateful for this human being for being the individual he is,his knowledge for the law is not to be second guessed,he's very skilled and highly experienced in any court arena,never giving into the oppositions findings,where I once felt hopeless,his representation gave me a new found hope,and not without positive results.if you are facing charges and is at a lost on who to trust by your side,Sam is the One you want by your side ,he will fight for you to the very end unlike most attorneys out there.Thank you Sam for helping me through such a difficult time,much appreciated

Unfortunately, I have experienced illegal cannabis cultivation by unscrupulous tenants at one of my investment properties and received hefty fine from the city. No doubt I was so concerned and nervous. Luckily I was able to turn to Sam for calm and sure guidance. His no-nonsense style and knowledge of the law and the system were invaluable. The result is very satisfactory – my fine was reduced for more than 98%! Sam is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his client, I'd trust him with anything, do not hesitate to call him.

Best DUI lawyer in Rocklin and/or Placer County. You can't get anyone better. He fights really hard and cares a lot about his clients. He is honest, fair, and will always be in your corner. If possible, he will get your case dismissed. If possible, he will win at trial. He has no fear and will do whatever he can to get you the best possible result. If you have any doubt, don't because he is the best! Thank you, attorney Sam!

I was very skeptical at first considering I had been federally indicted at a young age. I committed a federal offense that involved the dark web. I looked everywhere for a lawyer and Sam Bern’s office was one of the few firms that caught my attention. He ended up walking me through the process of my tough case and made the steps simple. There were some tough decisions to make and from his expert advice I ended up going down the right path. Thanks to Sam Berns my life has made an 180 degree turn for the better and now I feel like I’ve been given a second chance to live outside of prison with very little time in prison. I was recently sentenced and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thank you Sam for allowing me to prove myself to society and for having faith and being patient with me throughout this case. One thing I gotta say to those looking for a lawyer is to stay calm. Don’t make anymore dumb decisions, and choose Sam Berns as your lawyer.

I came to meet Sam Berns by pure chance. After I was pulled over by CHP, on suspension of DUI in El Dorado County, I didn’t know what was going to happen to me after spending the night in jail, but I figured I needed a lawyer and I remembered the catchy tag line on a radio commercial for a So. Cal. law firm that specializes in DUI cases, so I looked them up on the internet. I spoke to a lawyer at the firm, and the next day I found out Mr. Berns had been assigned to my case. During my first consultation with Mr. Berns I remember asking him all sorts of questions about what was likely going to happen to me. He patiently answered the questions and often had to clarify what he had said because I can be pretty dense. He explained to me what his strategy would be, then suggested that I write out and document in as much detail as I could recall, the events of the entire day I received the DUI. He also counseled me to per-emptively seek out personal help that would demonstrate to a judge, I was not intending to continue with the poor judgement that got me pulled over that day. He said there were no guarantees, but also assured me that depending upon the lab results of my blood test and testimony from an expert, he felt like he would be able to get a favorable judgement. I followed all his advice to the best of my ability. After 16 months with more court dates than I can recall, many of which were postponed due to Covid-19 and other circumstances, Mr. Berns was able to get my charges dropped in the El Dorado County court and the DMV violation set aside! I intend to never need Mr. Berns’ professional help again, however, I can say with all sincerity that I am one fortunate guy to have had him in my corner during this entire event. I am thankful for catchy radio commercials, but I will be forever grateful to Mr. Berns for giving me his all.

I called Sam and he was very responsive and quickly assessed my legal needs. He immediately put a plan in action and laid out options. He was transparent with all possible ramifications. Within the week he managed to get charges dropped and only charged me for minimal time which to me is admirable of a lawyer. I definitely highly recommended Sam!

I met with Sam over two misdemeanor charges and was very relieved that i found an attorney that was a straight shooter and cut out all of the BS and made it simple for me to understand what i was up against and my options. I would recommend Sam Berns to anyone seeking help, he is honest, hardworking and keeps it very simple. I was dreading having to find a lawyer and was very thankful i found Sam, I never write reviews but for him i defiantly felt i needed to take the time as a small thank you.

I've worked with Sam on several cases now; I've found Sam's knowledge of contract law, criminal law, startup corporate law and business matters was unmatched. Sam can also digest a great deal of legal material and immediately "cut to the chase" for a client, having assisted me and my clients in a variety of business, corporate and licensing matters. Highest recommend!

Sam Berns helped my juvenile son get out of a unfortunate situation. Sam is a dedicated attorney that didn’t ever give false hope. He really went to bat for my son. He proved he really cared and put his heart and soul into the case. He always kept in touch with me and explained everything very clear to my son. Sam is a top notch guy with strong values. I recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer that really cares.
