Pros
1
Knowledgeable and effective in trial representation
“He is really good at trial, he told me since day one many attorneys try to solve everything in mediation to not go to trial. But he said he was good at trial and enjoyed it. And it was very true.”
2
Able to correct errors and win cases
“Without him I would have lost my custody trial, with less than 8 days to prep he did an amazing job and was able to correct all my errors and win the case for me.”
3
Responsive and communicative
“Bernie is always responsive, willing to answer questions and help at any time.”
4
Provides great results and service
“Great legal help. Great service!!”
5
Highly recommended by satisfied clients
“Hands down one of the best lawyers in Houston.”
Cons
1
Poor communication and responsiveness
“I wouldn't recommend self representing, although I had other legal advice to help me self represent. It was clearly a big mistake in my case. Go with a pro! And Attorney Aldape is really good!”
2
Lack of attention and care for clients
“Don't let the fact that he's also a judge fool you into thinking that he's actually an effective attorney. If you're looking for aggressive and responsive representation, you better look elsewhere. I never felt like Bernie really cared about my case, and he even said as much in citing 'other priorities' as the reason calls and messages weren't returned.”
3
Unprofessional and unethical behavior
“This guy charged me 2500 and on the first day he was supposed to show up he didn't, he also kept my money and I didn't get anything done. Be careful with this guy”
