Reviews

It took me awhile in contemplation on whether or not I should write this review but seeing others' writing, I see that I owe it to myself and others to speak on Mr. Brian Bernard. I was first introduced to him by a good friend of mine who was actually upset with him that he had spent $500 on his daughter's behalf and received no service. He said he was upset with Mr. Bernard for not doing anything and he, his daughter, and his daughter's mother had reached out to him several times and Mr. Bernard became upset. They parted ways but I decided to give him a chance because I felt that any grievance over $500 is DEPLORABLE because I am a pre-law student and I understand that attorneys charge anywhere from $250 to $1000 an hour for their time. I talked this attorney for the first time last October and he was the cheapest attorney of them all. When I talked to him again this year, the price went up because I needed him to travel I was still good with it because it was 5k and it was cheap for what I needed him to do. He hastened me to get the money and said if you don't hurry, your parental rights will be terminated. Within two months, I had half of his money and a brand new apartment. I gave him the money, knowing he would not do any work without all of it. I made a good faith payment was what I called it. The first time I had ever heard him "bubbly", he called me and appointed me his paralegal. He said he would begin "making a file". For the next month, he had me collecting my own documents. The paralegal did nothing but sort them in an app. I accepted that because he didn't have to start at all ... I tried to get a loan for the rest of his money and got denied. The loan company stated I had "filed bankruptcy". A couple Fridays ago, I told Bernard how badly I wanted to get him his money but that it appeared that someone had filed bankruptcy in my name and that would prohibit me. I asked him to perform a nationwide search and told him I would pay him for his time. He obliged mentioning nothing of payment. He said he would do it the following Monday Monday morning rolled around and I woke up to a text, an email, and an app notification from his paralegal, demanding the rest of his money. I texted Bernard about it and he didn't respond. The week went by and I called his assistant to see what was up. I texted her on our group chat and also called his paralegal to no avail. Suddenly his assistant called me and apologized, stating that it was all a misunderstanding and the alerts take place every 2 weeks. She said Bernard could do my search for $750 as it would allow him 3 hours. He has 25 years of legal experience and I knew the search only takes minutes even for a beginner. It was a PRICE GAUGE. She assured me no more alerts would be made and we hung up. Funny thing is, I had never gotten the alerts in the MONTH I had worked with him. Not ONE...so if they were every two weeks, they would have alerted me at least once right? Plus, who charges someone almost A GRAND to perform a search when they are having issues getting the INITIAL money they owe to GET THEIR KID BACK. I asked for a refund last Saturday and havent gotten a single text, call, or email. I paid him $2000 to be his paralegal for a month and to be presented false hope that he was on my side. What do I think? Well, I think he is money hungry and unconcerned with your personal problems. I think he located the OC in this case and used the documents I collected for him to sell me out, making me think that ALL THE SUDDEN, he was willing to work for half the money, up front. I also think he tried to sucker the money he didn't get from my friend out of me....but who am I ... Just a paralegal in training, on the Dean's List in school, and a double major in Business.

Greetings to all 💝 I would like to share my experience with Attorney Brian Bernard. I had Mr. Bernard saved in my contacts from a relative in jail that asked me to reach out to him (Brian) in June 2024. About 1 month later my son went to jail and the attorney that I initially reached out to wanted to help for the "low-low" price of $7,500 for a Class "A" misdemeanor with an initial payment of $2,500😂. I sent Brian a text message wanting to know how much should a misdemeanor charge of that nature cost. I was bracing myself for impact of his response (because I am extra broke😂) but his response pleased me. The conversation of the photo is attached💝 Brian had my son out within hours. I was relieved because as parents we want our children to do the right thing and be ok. The day was nearing for me to fly out of town for work, so I was pleased and burden lifted. Moving forward to August 2024, my Aunt called me upset and stated her son went to jail and it would cost a lot of money for the bail bonds to get him released. I instantly said "Aunty call Brian, I am sure he can help and have him released the same day for a fair price💕 " She said text me his info and I will call him (In her still hurt tone). After my aunty called Brian, she called back telling me how excited she was and I could hear it in her soul💕 Then she told me some fun facts about Brian's career from their in person meet (I paid through CashApp😊 so we did not meet in person). My aunty kept thanking me. I said Aunty we Thank God for Mr. Brian Bernard. Names to me are very important because what we are called is what we are as well as what we respond to. For example My name is Jacqueline which means "May God Protect Her" and He definitely has throughout my whole entire life💝 Brian means: High, Noble, Honor and dignity Bernard means: Brave, Hardy and strong Now look at this fair man walk in his purpose according to who and what he is called.💗💖💝💓

He is a great Lawyer and he handles court cases with such ease. He is definitely a current recommendation and a future recommendation.

Hello, this is Kaelyn Nichelle Thompson, I hired this guy about four years ago and regards of divorcing my ex husband I’ve been trying to contact him and his assistance to please remove your name off my docket because we are trying to go through another attorney to get a divorce. We didn’t make any success with your law firm and we also pay $2500 for nothing. We didn’t even get a court date or anything like that. I’ve been asking you for about two years to remove your name off the docket nicely and please contacted the library and they told me that I can take procedures to get your name removed, but I, I don’t want to put you in a bad position with your reputation. I’m asking if you can give me a call please remove your name off my docket. Also, my mother has been trying to contact you to get your name removed off my docket. Also when we came to your office, my grandmother and I and we sign those documents and we paid you $2000 from my mom‘s money. She has also tried to contact you. Later on that year, I cash out $500 and you still have not proceeded with getting a divorce nor removing your name off my docket and you remember us my grandmother attends Mount Zion with your wife. I’m asking nicely. Can you please remove your name off my docket.

This man just takes your Money and blocks you and doesn't work on your case.He keeps telling you to wait but does no progress.He blocked me and tells me to let him do his job. All he does is take your money and never answers my calls. DONT HIRE HIM!!!!!

I have use Bernard and Associates a couple of times, the first time I used them Brian Bernard worked hard in my defense... I used Brian Bernard again and expected him to do the same thing and it didn't happen, he doesn't keep on top of his cases, he's not reliable, he completely doesn't care about his clients or what they have going on, all he cares about is that you pay him, he works with the DA and not the client, I don't refer anyone else to him and I'll never sent nobody else to him

The goat hands down...He picks up all my calls or text and Brian has beat every case he has touched of mine for 13 years now; consistently and consecutively.

Great service from a great attorney

Do not use this unprofessional man as an attorney. He takes your money and blocks you when you ask for a refund when he doesn’t do his job.

This man is the worst! Charged us $3200 and did NOTHING! We’re still trying to get our money back. I had just lost a son in a car accident the same year we hired him. The one call he took, he was empathetic! After that, I never talked to him again because he blocked me! DO NOT HIRE HIM FOR YOUR LOVED ONE. I promise you he won’t do the work. They need to suspend his license to practice law! -000 ⭐️ for real!
