Dale is a fantastic lawyer. This was my first experience with needing legal advice and representation and Dale did a terrific job. Our situation was particularly complex because of geography and even with different time zones and states he was responsive and timely in all of our communications. He listened, paid attention to even the smallest details and utilized a great strategic approach to our negotiations. Most importantly, when life deals you an employment experience that warrants the expertise of a lawyer - having one who treats you with respect and candor is critical to a successful professional relationship. I would highly recommend Dale.

I highly recommend The Bernard Law Firm. Dale is a exceptional attorney! Very experienced, honest, caring, and professional. He always provides thorough and diligent representation for his clients. I found Dale in 2006, and was very pleased with my outcome. Since then, Dale has helped me a couple times now, and also a family member of mine as well. Dale will take the time to listen/talk, whether it's 5 minutes or 3 hours. Dale is very committed and dedicated to his work and to provide the best outcome for his clients.

Excellent Attorney that Mr Dale Bernard is. He responds quickly and stays on top of his cases. He stands up for you when he knows your have been done wrongly. I had an unusual experience because of covid that our situation took 7 years and even though I knew it was going to take time because of type of case it was. Mr Bernard was a pleasure working with during my long 7 years. Always positive always reassuring and in the end he was correct!!! 100% would always recommend him to anyone!!! Christie
