I give Mr. Bernheim my absolute highest recommendation. I was calling around concerning pro bono services with a list of law offices that had been provided to me--the list was mistaken about the "free" part, but this man still took time out of his day at 7:30 pm on a Friday night to hear my whole story, provide me with a completely free consultation, and give me amazing legal advice that no other law office I called had thought to give concerning my case (a demand for payment in Small Claims Court). His guidance and legal advice sealed the deal for me on methodology to beat this suit brought from a dishonest and disgruntled former client. While I could not afford to pay him to complete other legal services for me, based on his integrity and consultation alone, I would recommend this attorney to anyone--he was by far the most knowledgable and passionate attorney I got in touch with out of them all. (PS: He loves animals!)
Attorney Bernheim was great to represent me against a large insurance company. It was so stressful for 2 1/2 months dealing with this large insurance company on my own. After hiring him, I felt more relaxes. The attorney fight for me that even this large insurance company paid my legal fees. ( for the record insurance company never paid legal fees). But in this case they did. 🤓🤓😎😎 Thank You Attorney Bernheim. Rv
I was very pleased with the outcome of my child custody trial. Christina was very helpful and assured me she was taking care of things prior and at the trial. I as a single father, highly recommend her services. Just remember, "TO EVERY PROBLEM, THERE IS A SOLUTION". Keep up the good work Christina! Sincerely, Joe....
I had an incident that brought me to the Law Offices of Fernando Bernheim, and I was very happy that I came here. From the consultation, to everything in between, the entire team were all very professional and respectful towards every aspect of the process and there was great communication throughout the entire process. If you are ever in need of any legal services, I would highly recommend Fernando and Christina Bernheim to represent you. Thank You for everything!
Mr. Bernheim successfully fought two domestic violence restraining orders on my behalf and got them both dismissed. He really does care about me. He cares about people.

Bernheim and his staff has been a shining example of hope for myself and my family. I've been going back and forth to court since 2015 for child custody and spending a lot of money with other attorneys that did not find a good solution for my situation. Petitioner was saying false accusations that you wouldn't even imagined towards me and my relatives. Mr. Bernheim finally put a stop to it. Bernheim and his staff provided good quality services. He makes miracles happen.
I am in the process of filing for divorce and was very confused about the process and what to expect. I have very little money so I am scared to do this on my own. Mr. Bernheim's office offered a free consultation and was so helpful and explained the legal aspects of my case in a way I could understand. His staff is very helpful when I call and have questions about my case. I highly recommend Fernando to all my friends and family and am very grateful for all the help.
Mr. Bernheim came highly recommended to us as an attorney who achieves top notch results for his clients. Over the past couple of years, Mr. Bernheim has helped us resolve several difficult legal issues. While it is true that Mr. Bernheim gets results for his clients, it is just as important to know that Mr. Bernheim and his staff treat each client with dignity and compassion.
We handle pro bono matters on a case by case basis and we encourage members of the public to utilize the surrounding legal aid societies by appropriate counties as our office is often volunteering with these agencies on a regular basis and may not have the capacity to accept additional pro bono cases.
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.
