Charged me a $3000 flat fee and did absolutely nothing. Said there was nothing he could do... Completely dropped the ball. Would not recommend.

His experience as a former prosecutor is what makes him great for any criminal defense case. I am extremely grateful I came across his page and retained him.

Pedro helped us with a Real Estate dispute and was extremely professional, courteous and very reasonable with his fees. Contrary with previous experiences with other attorneys who are more interested in milking their clients or look for a quick settlement to keep as much as they can off their retainers without much effort, Pedro gave us great advice and was not afraid to go to court to advocate our position when necessary. We are using Pedro for ALL our legal needs, he has proven that even in areas that may be out of his expertise or usual work, he is a quick learner and can provide first class advise.

We contacted Mr. Bernal after consulting a number of sources. We subsequently became aware Mr. Bernal is a sought after speaker, and a subject matter expert in his field. Criminal charges inherently create a stressful environment, which can be difficult to navigate. Mr. Bernal was very, very responsive to each of our questions and attentive in following up when matters required extra attention. The nature of the criminal charges is difficult to discuss in this forum; however, I will say, working with a system that, in principle, does not always seem fair or just, Mr Bernal provided us the sense we were working with family and all that could be done to mitigate matters would be done. Mr. Bernal was successful in negotiating a settlement and getting all matters before the court dismissed. We highly recommended Mr. Bernal to anyone seeking criminal matter representation.

I have been using Pedro services for more than two years. As the owner of a digital marketing agency, it is really hard to find a lawyer that understanding new technologies. I have been more than happy with Mr Bernal services. He is always trying to help me find new solutions for my contract and be sure my marketing agency will be protected. I highly recommend him

Pedro was great in diffusing a potentially messy and expensive situation. With a well thought out strategy, he was able to keep my expenses and time involvement low for something that could have dragged on for many months. I highly recommend him.

I made the mistake of falling behind the wheel driving home after having two drinks. God placed Pedro in my path and was able to help me out when I feared my DACA would be taken away as well as my EAD. Pedro was able to get my DUI charges dropped and instead replaced with Wet Reckless; thus making my DACA renewal easier. Last week I received my EAD and i couldn’t be more thankful for having Pedro help me out. He is easy to talk to, approachable and very friendly! He is the whole package.

Pedro was extremely effefecitve and proactive while working on my case. Prior to being hired and throughout my case, he thoroughly explained the process and potential outcomes. I had confidence and trust in Pedro due to his experience practicing criminal law, and being a former assistant District Attorney. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and wouldn't hesitate to refer him.

Mr Bernal took a very personal interest in my case. When I first met with him he was very diligent in gathering the facts about my case. He is a hard-working detail oriented attorney who skillfully dealt with the DA and judge. Mr. Bernal. He gathered all the necessary information to assist with my case. Not only was he extremley well prepared for court, he also kept me informed of the status of the case and any next steps throughout the process. Highly recommend him for legal defense.

"Pedro helped during a very difficult time in my life. He worked to get my criminal domestic violence charges dropped and I am very thankful for having him in my corner during this time period. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer."

From the first time I sat down and met with Pedro to the last day at court Pedro maintained a consistent level of clarity and integrity when we spoke. Pedro was straight forward and professional throughout the entire process. I always felt like his head was equally in the game as much for me as for his other clients. Pedro's previous experience with the DA's office proved to be very helpful in getting a firm idea of my case needed to be processed. No mistakes or misunderstandings occurred and certainly nothing was promised to me that wasn't certain. I'm very thankful that Pedro is out there helping people for the right reasons rather than most lawyers who will meet with you and tell you everything you want to hear. Pedro is truly a lawyer who will fight for you and support you. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Pedro has been an incredible asset through recent legal hurdles, from initial consultation, to finalizing legal agreements, Pedro has proved over & over to be in a class of his own. A straight forward but accommodating approach has been extremely helpful in making big legal decisions & has positioned me in the right direction. You will find no better attorney that is well respected, knowledgeable, & performs at that high of a level in San Diego. Highly recommended.
