Mark did an amazing job representing us and helped us tremendously over the past year with our youngest. He kept us informed and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. We’ve known and used Mark for well over 20 years and will always recommend his services to family and friends.Posted on Google debi jansmaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Even one star is too much to rank this lawyer. My 89-year-old mother-in-law had an accident with her car and a fire hydrant in early January and was referred to Mr. Bernstein by a family friend. What should have been a very simple hearing and fine was postponed time after time until we intervened and communicated with him by text. Finally in late April, the hearing was held, but Mr. Bernstein couldn't show and said he would sent a colleague. His colleague never showed up and my mother-in-law was forced to go through the whole thing by herself. His office never called about any of the prior postponements and our family had to constantly track the appointments and cancellations. As others have posted, it's "money up front" and no customer service to speak of. UPDATE: we had a longer talk today with my MIL and it turns out that a "nice young man" came up to her after the morning break and let her know he would take care of the situation. He did get the charge pled down to just a fine. Not being familiar with the process of court hearings, she thought the person was the court clerk, but it turns out that was Mr Bernstein's colleague. So I do need to retract that portion of my review. I do still stand by the observations on lack of customer service, and communication skills.Posted on Google Andrew DesmaraisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Mark Bernstein, I achieved a positive outcome in my case. Their attention to detail and strategic approach made a big difference. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking reliable legal representation.Posted on Google PrimeBraggingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. MARK WAS VERY HELPFUL AND HELP ME GET ALL MY CASES DEALT WITH IN A TIMELY MANNER , AND GAVE ME A VERY FAIR TIME TO PAY PLANPosted on Google Darian MontagueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark is the best lawyer i didn't know that because of how he works his business but im not a lawyer but the way he worked for me I never would have appreciated him more until the end of my final result he showed me that I do what I do and he does what he do and I cant even began to understand how he does his job but to tell you the best way to see what I see is to experience him as a person a lawyer and a man I give him his flowers now and for anyone who needs a lawyer has to know he is the best at what he does so big up to mark Bernstein 2026 hes still on fire ? after 30 years later still on. Fire ? mark your well appreciated much respectPosted on Google Kerri Pagano DiStasioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am new to Mount holly I have been living here for 3 years and I d r c has had my license suspended for over 10 years and only should of been taken for 3 years I need to know what I can do to get my license back I completed all programs never did not complyPosted on Google Maddie EmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Mark Bernstein is absolutely outstanding- I’d give him 50 stars if I could. I met him 3 years ago when he represented me for careless driving and got the charge dropped with no points on my record. I met him again last month when my 20 year old son was arrested for DUI and breathalyzer refusal charges along with about 8 other unfair charges. I called Mark at 7:30am on a Saturday morning the day after and he immediately answered my call, and listened to what happened in a caring and non- judgmental way. He quickly took action by postponing the court date, carefully reviewing the police report. webcam and transcript data. Importantly, he kept me informed each step of the way answering all my texts and phone calls with no more than a 5 minute wait. Before me and my son showed up in court Mark told us he already had the situation handled! Myself and my son only spent about 5 minutes in court and had the charges dropped including DUI and breathalyzer refusal charges. All this for a one time fee that was extremely fair. My son can move on without a permanent DUI charge on his record. If you are looking for an intelligent and caring but highly aggressive lawyer (in a good way!) who has your best interest at heart look no further…Mark is simply the best!!Posted on Google Joshua MartelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was skeptical because it seemed like a third of the reviews were negative in some kind of way. As a military veteran, I found Mr. Bernstein very professional and courteous. I was facing ten years. Long story short, my case was dismissed and expediently expunged. I was lucky the plaintiff didn’t show up, but also lucky to find proper representation within his practice, As the state picked up my case, he got it dropped to a municipal level. If it wasn’t for him, I would probably be behind bars, but instead I get a second chance at life, spending the holidays with my daughters & family. Highly suggestPosted on Google Calvin JohnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
