I cannot recommend Berna Warner enough. After trying to divorce my ex since 2021 (three filings,…read moremultiple attorneys), Berna was the one who got it done. She has decades of experience, knows the laws/system inside and out, and works FAST. On top of that, her legal writing is excellent, which matters when you are finalizing judgements for the court to sign.
My case was highly contentious -- my ex tried to go after my business, my premarital home, alimony, and more. He wanted hearings for everything, and we couldn't agree on anything. Things could have gone very badly for me, but they didn't.
Here's what I really appreciated: Berna doesn't sugarcoat. She won't lie to you -- she'll tell you realistically how things play out in California (not always great for breadwinning moms). But she also helps you weigh what's worth fighting for and what isn't, saving you time, money, and stress.
Yes, her rates are higher than most, but she is incredibly efficient. She doesn't nickel-and-dime you for every quick call or email, and her speed more than makes up for the cost. My divorce -- which easily could have dragged on for years -- had my judges stamp on it in LESS than 6 months!
I am beyond grateful for this woman. If you want an attorney who is sharp, honest, and gets results, Berna is the one.
