To say the least, Mr. Bernheim was very thorough and professional in handling my case. He is tough, sensible, and fair. He and his staff are always available, and make sure that they return your calls as soon as they are able. But what I impressed me most with him and his team is that they really cared about me. I felt that I was not just "billable hours" to them. I was a person who needed help and advise, and they really provided that to me in a most sincere and genuine manner. They reall
My case was a complete success and it is all thanks to Fernando Bernheim . I don’t often write reviews but I felt very compelled to write one for this amazing office . Shout out to Christina as well for taking the time to hear me out ; for returning everyone of my phone calls and for being very attentive to help me in every way possible.
This lawyer is very experienced ; knowledgeable and I wouldn’t think twice about using his services again . I am very grateful and appreciative !
Fernando and his team are amazing, honest, straight-shooter, he gives his honest opinion on your case, not what you want to hear. Highly recommended. I’ve gone to him for 10 years now, very satisfied.

It has been quite a long time since I have felt the urge to write a review, until yesterday. I was caught between a rock and a hard place without representation with an early morning court appearance the next day. I scoured the internet for a miracle attorney with amazing reviews and client recommendations that check all the boxes. What I found was the Law Offices of Fernando J. Bernheim. Christina met with me the same day and spent over an hour giving me advice on how best to move forward. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Fernando J. Bernheim for their honesty, integrity, and superior knowledge of jurisprudence.
I came here for a high conflict divorce it is something that I did not want to deal with at this point in my life however their office guided me every step of the way. They gave me theri honest feedback and were not about over billing despite the other attorney doing the exact opposite. I am finally able to get some closure and i highly recommend their office.
I came to this office referred to by another attorney that found them to begin with and their office gave it to me straight from the beginning saving me so much money and heartache. Their office was easy to reach for an appointment and I sincerely appreciate Christina's time and skill in getting straight to the point it was such a breathe of fresh air I highly recommend this office for all your legal needs!
They helped with a case that took a while but each time I called they eased my concerns and they negotiated the best for my case they are excellent several of my family members use this office and their entire office is helpful and kind and I am happy with the results thank you for their hard work!!!
I've had the privilege of having Mr. Fernando J. Bernheim as my attorney for many years, and I couldn't be more grateful for his exceptional service. Fernando is not only caring, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable, but his dedication to his clients is truly commendable. Throughout the years, he has consistently provided me with top-notch legal representation and guidance. I highly recommend Mr. Fernando J. Bernheim to anyone seeking an attorney they can trust for the long haul. Thank You.
Mr. Fernando was very easy to work with. Very professional. Explain to me in details how the whole process was gonna be. Answer every question that I had. Most important he won my case . Made my divorced so easy for me. I highly recommend him and his staff. He was recommended to me by a cal worker. If I was to ever need an attorney I would go back to him. His professionalism, confidence, trust and most important he has a big heart. He’s there for you no matter what. I highly recommend him.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
