Rhett L. Bernstein, Criminal Defense & DUII Attorney

Client Testimonials Overview I am so incredibly fortunate to have found Rhett Bernstein and would highly recommend him as your first choice for legal help. My experience with looking for a lawyer was extremely daunting, especially when you're dealing with the reason you or someone you care about needs a lawyer in the first place. The entire process was riddled with fear and uncertainty, but Rhett and Sommer were always incredibly kind, patient, responsive, and professional. They never made me feel stupid or rushed, they were always there for anything that I needed right away, and overall they were just incredibly professional and warm-hearted. One thing that I noticed, felt, and appreciated the most from Rhett was his deep, professional experience in the judicial system. Rhett's knowledge of the law and courts was apparent immediately from the moment you start talking with him. He speaks with a clear, informed confidence that you can feel comes from not just knowing the law but also having worked with it for years. I also can't help but appreciate – and really feel like this is the most important thing that I can say in this review – how Rhett spoke with me during our very first conversation. I'm sure my panic over our situation was incredibly apparent, but he was so kind and empathetic while being direct and honest with me. There was a point later when he was explaining some court process my wife has in court that actually hurt a lot to hear. He was blunt, honest, and could have sugarcoated it, but I think he knew that I needed to hear the truth. It's a small thing in the grand scheme of the stress of our situation, but I don't think I'll ever forget that. It made me feel a lot better to know that he was not just another lawyer who was taking our money but an actual human who cares about my wife and me. I truly and utterly mean this when I say that my wife and I knew he was the guy immediately after talking with him.
