LegalShield's local representative Bervar & Jones: (Please note my use of capitalization)… "DO NOT EVER HAVE BERNIECE HANDLE ANY OF MY INQUIRIES! SHE IS HORRIBLE TO SPEAK TO AND HAS NO BEDSIDE MANNERS WHATSOEVER, (IF THIS WAS A MEDICAL SITUATION), THANK GOD SHE'S NOT IN THAT FIELD! IF I NEEDED LEGAL REPRESENTATION SHE'S ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE I WOULD HAVE REPRESENTING ME! NOT FRIENDLY, NOT COURTEOUS, NO LEGAL KNOWLEDGE THAT'S HELPFUL, SHOULD NOT BE IN THE FIELD OF REPRESENTING PEOPLE, NOT EMPATHETIC, NOT PROFESSIONAL! SHE SAID I HAD AHDH?!! WHO SAYS THAT TO A PAYING CONSUMER FOR YOUR SERVICES??! BECAUSE OF HER, I'LL PROBABLY CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP!"

2 stars only because I've had a couple of my past questions answered…sort of. Horrible legal advice because they basically tell you things that you could just Google yourself…this last legal inquiry/advice went horribly wrong…not friendly, not empathetic, not helpful, not professional! Go somewhere else for legal help if you need advice, client empathy or professionalism…you want and need legal assistance from a firm who is on your side and treats you more than a paying client…you know, a company that cares whom they represent…a firm who "strives to get all the clients who walk through their doors the results they rightfully deserve," (directly from their website), which is what's clearly lacking here.

If I could zero stars I would. They are bar none the worst attorneys in the state if not the entire world. I started an intake for an insurance claim in September of 2024. It's a very time sensitive matter yet 6 months later absolutely nothing has been done by Bervar and Jones. They write letters on my behalf that never got sent out. They are very bad at returning calls and often forget to do so. I regret that I put my faith in a law office that did absolutely nothing to help. They seem to be very unorganized and should not be practicing law if they don't even know know how to treat people with kindness and respect. Would not recommend them to anyone.

Legal Sheild provider Bervar and Jones in Honolulu Hi., has consistently delivered terrible service in the last 18 months. I've been a member since 2016 it's true they previously offered some value considering the price. However, it appears they have either purchased reviews from Yelp or used abandoned profiles as many 5 stars reviews have appears in the last year. This is a well documented way to improve online marketing reviews. The 1, 2 and 3 stars reviews are all 2 to 6 years old. So buyer beware. My last experience with a lawyer from Legal Shield last week resulted in the lawyer hanging up on me. Previously two questions asked in the last five months were answered at a very poor standard of less than 10% of what was requested. I must give 2 stars so that Yelp doesn't reject my review, otherwise 1star would be generous.

I had attorney Bernice (aka bugnice) doing my case. April 16, 2026. 10am Hawaii Time. This morning I received a RESOLUTION call back from Bervar and Jones. In our conversation, I asked her why does it take Over ONE WEEK to get a response from Bernice? The Lady Spokesman whom called me back, for Bugnice said, "any attorney can say they will call you back, but they don't have have to". This is some bullshit! Who tolerates this from any attorney? Is this the new professionalism? NO COMMON COURTESY! Bugnice-Bernice is giving a bad bad name for attorneys! NO ETHICS! NO INTEGRITY!
