I very highly recommend Bernstein Hough PC and in particular Paula Hough for your legal needs, especially if you have a legal issue in Virginia but you live out-of-state. I really needed a lawyer I could depend on who could represent me in court on my behalf without me being present so that I would not miss any time from work due to living in another state. Paula gave me very clear legal advice and instructions. I did what she advised me to do in a timely manner, and everything worked out just fine. I highly recommend Paula!

I recently had the pleasure of working with BernsteinHough, P.C. for a Reckless Driving charge, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Mr. Hough and Ms. Jennifer H. Jones provided outstanding representation, which resulted in my charge being reduced to a non-moving violation. Their expertise, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. I highly recommend BernsteinHough, P.C. for anyone in need of dedicated and effective legal assistance.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paula Bernstein Hough on a traffic ticket case, and I am thrilled to share my experience. From the outset, Paula demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. She took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and provided clear, concise guidance on the best course of action. Throughout the process, Paula was incredibly responsive and kept me informed at every step. Her meticulous attention to detail and strategic approach were key factors in the successful dismissal of my traffic ticket. Additionally, her ability to navigate the legal complexities with ease and confidence gave me great peace of mind. A special mention goes to Paula’s assistant, Jennifer, who was very helpful in providing timely responses to all my questions and queries. Her support was invaluable and greatly appreciated. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal representation I received. Thanks to Paula Bernstein Hough and her team, I no longer have to worry about this matter. I highly recommend Paula to anyone in need of top-notch legal assistance. Thank you once again for your exceptional service and support.

This attorney was very professional and very helpful the whole process for my speeding ticket. She did an amazing job and reduced my charges and lowered my fine! I also want to point out that they have a very friendly secretary/ front desk. There was no pressure at no point.

I was charged with reckless driving for the first time of my driving experience. I prayed for a lawyer that was in my budget and could give me a positive outcome. That's what Mrs. Hough done for me because the case was dismissed. I am please well please with the outcome. If you need a great lawyer that will work hard to give you a great outcome Mrs. Hough is the person to contact.

Misdemeanor traffic charges can devastate an individual’s personal and professional life. They impact jobs one can apply for, places that can be rented, lenders that are willing to give mortgages, etc. In short, these cases are to be taken seriously, and you want representation from someone who takes them as seriously as you do. I will be eternally grateful to BernsteinHough for their representation in my case. Without divulging personal details, I was charged with a misdemeanor. I am ashamed of the moment, but remorse alone does not solve the issue. Mr. Bernstein’s counsel and Ms. Hough’s representation achieved a nearly improbable charge reduction for me in a jurisdiction known to be highly rigid. Jenn, their legal assistant, remained on top of the things and documentation, which was comforting. Ms. Hough was extraordinarily patient and entertained my not-so-smart questions. She was incisive, composed, respectful of the judge, remarkably well-prepared, and compelling during the hearing. Her representation was the only factor that changed the case disposition from a misdemeanor to a non-misdemeanor which is a huge victory. A traffic infraction, at most, impacts your insurance for a couple of years, whereas a misdemeanor stays on your criminal history for the rest of your life, not to mention on your driving record for 11 years. In short, the charge reduction achieved by Ms. Hough is of enormous significance. Again, I am not proud of my negligence, but I am glad I had representation from BersteinHough, which allowed me to fix things without lasting damage. I highly recommend this firm as they have my utmost respect and confidence.

I was caught doing 100+ in a 60mph and Paula went to bat for me. Due to my driving record, I should’ve been sentenced to some time but I only had to do 1 day - which was actually 4hrs. - with 50hr. community service. Much better than what I deserved. Thanks Paula!!

Mrs. Hough presented my traffic violation case well and knew what information would best impact my case. She also held her ground and kept cool when the case took a turn with the Judge. She was calm, persistent, and knowledgeable about the traffic laws— my charge was brought down severely and I owe it to her!

Not only did my team bring my case down but they got it done quickly!

I can speak from experience that if you hire her to represent you, and do exactly what she asks you to do, that you will receive the best possible outcome in the legal system. I personally had my charge dismissed with no fine or community service. Of course, all cases are different, but I firmly believe that she will get you the best resolution of you case possible.

She did great I love that she successfully gave me a great result I appreciated it so much

We were very pleased with the result from traffic court our teen received after being represented by Ms. Hough. She was professional in her interactions with us (both parents and teen) and with the court. The guidance she provided was perfect and we feel the end result was the best possible.
