Overcharged and under-serviced! We contacted this law firm in September 2024 for debt collection. Documents were filed in October 2024 but they did not respond to verbal and written requests for updates until December 2024 and did not provide us with any of the documents until January of this year. Our lawyer initially said this process would cost $1500. Our mistake was not getting this estimate in writing because $2500 later only half of what he said he would do was actually done. By the time our lawyer contacted us in December, he had already exhausted our retainer and we had our first invoice. He told us that, if we paid the invoice without contesting, he would file additional paperwork, but that paperwork was never filed. We learned in January the lawyer was exiting the firm and no one, not even the owner, could provide us with an update of any recent activity. I raised a question about our initial invoice, expressed concerns of being overcharged, and asked the billing rep to review my invoice. She was defensive and dismissive. Rather than reviewing the charges with us, she stated that the owner verified all of the charges were valid, he was more than generous by zeroing out a bill they sent us in error, we did not understand how law firms work, and they would be willing to defend their charges to the board. Note that at no point did I mention any intention of talking with the board. My wish is that they would have pursued our case with the same tenacity with which they defended their charges.

Mr. Howard Bernstein and his amazing team helped me to get ready for a small claim court claim. They organized the information and when I was facing the judge it was really easy to prove my point and win the case. The prices were reasonable and no surprises on the final bill. Hope that I will not need to but it's good to know that there is someone to count on in case of a problem.

I needed attorney representation and fortunately found Shirin Chahal at this firm. Shirin was nothing but professional and kind in handling of the matter. She is an asset to the Bernstein attorney firm and I cannot recommend her enough in her professionalism and communication skills.

When faced with an unexpected situation that put us in a whirlwind of courtrooms,
motions, and rulings, Howard and his team have been invaluable to us. Howard is wonderful to work with and really listens when that is what you need most. He is thoughtful in his approach and values a sound strategy to reach favorable outcomes. I hope to never need the services he provided to us again but would call him again in a heartbeat.

My wife and I had a great experience working with Howard, Christine and the whole team. They quickly understood our case, were very supportive and brought in a lot of additional facts and information that ultimately helped us prevail and win a six figure settlement. If we ever have any future needs we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

Christine Breen is the most compassionate attorney I’ve had the pleasure to receive advice from. Her entire team were willing to help me from the first email to the first meeting. The money they saved me is immeasurable as I was given Instruction to work on my own behalf. I highly recommend this firm is you need any type of assistance in employment law.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Howard Bernstein and his staff.

I had a difficult tax issue relating to healthcare which I was extremely concerned about when I initially met with Howard.

Howard was an active listener, made sure he had all the facts, and worked diligently on my behalf to resolve the issue…which he did.

As I left the Bernstein Law Firm after my initial meeting with Howard, I realized that I had just met an attorney who actually had the experience, the knowledge, AND the desire to help me.

Throughout the process communication was excellent as I worked with several people on Howard’s team. I felt fully informed and derived much comfort working with the Bernstein Law Firm.

I would highly recommend Howard Bernstein and his team as they are amazing people to work with. The Bernstein staff is professional, courteous, and caring. Each interaction was a positive experience.

A big thank you to Howard and his excellent team! I am not quite sure what the outcome would have been had I not met you!

Eternally grateful!

This firm has already been granted the right to collect attorney fees under the federal law. Yet, they want to charge injured parties up front to take the case. I believe if they want to charge me to pay the fees then they should wave their right to collect additional fees as specified by law.
