I retained Mr. Bernstein to represent me for a DUII charge. Since I had been convicted of DUII almost 8 years earlier, I was facing a very serious 2nd DUII conviction. Frightened, ashamed, and confused, I was extremely depressed and anxious about the legal journey ahead. Attorney Bernstein helped me navigate and prevail over this very difficult situation. He was able to provide a calm and compassionate presence, while directing me toward a positive outcome. From our first meeting he sprung into action, guiding me to resources to bolster my case proactively. He directed me to begin treatment, attend AA meetings, and go to the Victim Impact Panel—all of which impressed the Judge at sentencing. Throughout the process, Mr. Bernstein was respectful and kind, giving me a realistic picture of what to expect and also what he could do to agressively defend me. As many defendants do, I wondered if it was worth the cost of a private attorney, as the laws are very strict and conviction requirements seem to be set in stone. My experience proves that this is simply not true. Attorney Bernstein's experience, talent, and strategy were worth every dollar spent. I was facing 30 days in jail and significant fines. With his expert representation, I was sentenced to 5 days, was released in less than 3 days, and fines were significantly reduced. In court he succinctly presented compelling arguments for my case. Throughout the process Mr. Bernstein and his legal assistant, Sommer, were constantly available to answer questions and provide support. Sommer contacted me often to see how I was doing and went out of her way to help me—even coming to my home for a signature, when a document had to be filed with the court before day’s end. I’m thankful that I chose this firm and highly recommend this team of proven legal experts. You will be relieved to have Rhett Bernstein on your side.

Wow!! I dont know if I could say enough good things about Rhett and Sommer. My case was very scary and the accusations were very serious. I knew I was innocent. But I was going up against someone with a lot of money and I was terrified! They made me feel as if I had nothing to worry about and that justice would prevail. They stayed in contact with me the whole time this drug out for about 6 months. He truly accomplished the impossible for me. I will forever be grateful for them and all they did for me. I think that God put them in my path. Please if you need a defense attorney and you truly want the best you NEED Rhett. I am truly thankful and I would recommend him to ALL that need someone to defend them. Rhett and Sommer thank you from the bottom of my heart!

To Whom it May Concern,

After several hours of research I selected Rhett Bernstein to represent me in a DUII case. I felt I could not afford him, yet knew I could not afford NOT to work with him and I will never regret that decision.
Mr. Bernstein is unbelievably well networked within the legal community and this is very critical. His ability to ascertain an individuals character, review facts to accurately predict outcomes and incorporate his many years of experience is outstanding.
He wisely selected Sommer as his assistant and I found her to be incredible at understanding all the details and workings of the legal process. She is quick to respond to any and all questions and follows through on every task.
I am a good person who made a bad decision and they treated me with kindness and respect. This is a nasty process that can tear a persons self-respect to shreds and they supported not only my legal rights, but my ability to always remember that one bad decision was not the full picture of who I am.
My deepest gratitude goes out to them both and I would recommend them without hesitation to friends or family. To simply give them “stars” for a recommendation seems unjust and juvenile, as they clearly exceed such a generic form of evaluation.

Sincerely,
W.J.A.

Rhett and his office manager Sommer not only make an excellent team, but are fast, efficient, and well organized; something you should be looking for when seeking legal representation. I would highly recommend hiring Rhett for any legal needs you may have, but if you are dealing with West Linn, Oregon City, or Lake Oswego (Clackamas County even), it would be wise if you hired someone that has spent a lot of years in this jurisdiction which Rhett has. He knows the local legal landscape, judges, other DA's, and the style of what to expect in a variety of situations. Really appreciate his thoroughness and not just going through the motions to collect a pay day. He and Sommer went over all questions I had and help navigate the legal process so it was understandable and as painless as possible. I truly believe and feel this investment was well worth the money.

Rhett was very professional from the start and helped me to feel like I was in good hands when I felt like I had no hope. I was in a tough situation and he was very upfront with the consequences I was likely going to face but because of his expertise he was able to help me avoid jail time and failing diversion for my DUII. When I appeared with him in court it was clear that he has the respect of his peers and it made me feel that I was an extension of that in their eyes which was invaluable. I cannot recommend Rhett highly enough and if you want the security of knowing you are being represented by a true professional you will look no further.

Mr. Bernstein and his assistant Sommer are amazing at what they do! Every time I called Sommer would answer, and if she was unsure she would get back to me with answers the same day! Never did I talk to an answering machine, and they always kept my mind at ease, Thank You for that!!
At first I was very nervous and upset from what Mr. Bernstein told me as I was facing four counts of reckless endangerment on top of the DUII. He warned me that I would most likely do some time behind bars and I got very upset as I would have lost my job, he was just stating the reality of the situation, and I almost broke down. There was A lot of behind the scene work happening without my knowing, I was very excited when we went to court and he had not just one, but All 5 of the charges diverted!! I paid a fine, did some community service, stayed out of jail and best of all was able to keep my job!!
I didn’t just dodge a bullet, I dodged a cannon shot thanks to the help of Mr. Bernstein. Hopefully I won’t be a returning customer but I wouldn’t pick anyone else to represent me, I Highly recommend their help!!

I would like to share an experience I recently had which without Mr. Bernstein’s help would have had a less then disirable outcome. I had been fishing the better part of the day and thought I had waited an ampile amount of time to be safe to drive home and wouldn’t you know I get pulled over and am arrested for dui. I felt I had waited a safe amount of time so I summitted to a field sobriety test, which took for ever. I had recently lost my hearing in my left ear and explained my balance was off due to my equilibrium still not back to normal however the officer asked me to try my best. I cooperated and was then arrested for dui. At this point I decided to no longer cooperate due to I felt like I wasn’t being treated fairly and asked for my lawyer. Within a few days of being released I employed Mr. Bernstein’s proffesssional help as I needed to retain my license in order to remain gamefully employed. Mr. Bernstein took care of my entering into diversion and then went to work at helping me keep my license since I had refused to submitt to a breathalyzer. Mr Bernstein went to court at the MDV hearing and won. I was so relieved. Although I had obviously made a bad decision, he kept it from totally devastating my life. I was able to keep working and I now have completed my diversion sucessfully and have learned from my mistake and can put it all behind me. I have Mr. Bernstein and his staff to thank for the professionalism and understanding I was given. I highly recommend Mr. Bernstein and his staff if you are ever in a similar situation. Don’t always trust what you are told by an officer of the law. Seek professional help. There is too much at stake not to.

If I could add 5 more stars I would. I won't go into detail why I needed Rhett, but I will go into detail about them. Rhett is VERY good at his job. The resolution to my case was better then my best hope. If you're reading this, you need an attorney. Call Rhett.. He won't let you down. And Sommer, his assistant.. Frickin rock star. Any time I had a question, she would answer directly or if she didn't know the answer, said she'd would get back to me with an answer. And she always did. They are both profesional to a T. And they both care. That's the important part.. They care. So five stars for Rhett.. 5 more for Sommer. This is a 10 star review.

Both Sommer and Rhett are amazing to work with. I had a criminal case, and it was a very stressful situation and I was looking at possible jail time and with Rhett;'s hard work it was reduced to a violation and I walked away with a traffic ticket. By the time we went to court and we were up, it felt like I had two lawyers working for me, he was that good with the Prosecutor. I would recommend (nearly demand) him to family and friends in similar situations.

Rhett Bernstein and his team were very professional and went the extra mile for me. They were very responsive, on top of my cases at all times and kept me well informed. They were very accessible and communication was excellent. I am so glad that I made the decision to hire Rhett over the other attorneys that I interviewed. From the very start, he developed a defense plan and executed it perfectly. I highly recommend Rhett Bernstein. The outcome of my case was beyond my expectation.

Mr Bernstein was extremely professional a true man of his word. Everything he promised me was achieved nothing less nothing more. Not only was his skill as a lawyer impeccable he made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about what to expect and what was happening at the time. Also Sommer his assistant always answered her phone whenever I had a concern and addressed it immediately or got back to me with an answer as soon as possible. They make a great team and care about your situation. I will always use Mr. Bernstein's skills in the future.

My experience with Rhett Bernstein’s office was fantastic. From the day I hired him I knew I was in good hands, he took very personalized and attentive care of my case. He was able to get the best outcome anyone could have imagined, bringing my felony charge down to a misdemeanor; he took special interest in the specific details of my case/life situation and was a fantastic advocate for me the whole way through. Absolutely worth every penny, and if me, my family, or anyone I know ever have any legal needs in the future he will be my first call. Would highly recommend!

Sometimes difficult times come up and you need help. This is what happened to me and I wanted to find someone that I could trust. I did quite a bit of research online and found Rhett Bernstein to have good feedback and reached out.
I was not disappointed, his office listened to my needs and helped build trust. They were up front and made no promises they could not meet, only honesty that I appreciated. They provided a quality service and helped me resolve my issues, all while keeping constant communication which was appreciated.
If I need future assistance I would not hesitate to reach back out to them and recommend them to anyone that needs help from a qualified attorney that puts your needs first.

Where do I start? When I first contacted Mr. Bernstein, I was scared to say the least. I was facing 3 charges, 2 of which were potential jail time, large fines and loss of license/career. Rhett and his assistant Sommer are so amazing, they put my nerves at ease staying in constant contact and immediately answering every question I had. Needless to say , after Mr. Bernstein worked his magic, all charges were dropped and I didn't even lose my license. These are services you can't afford not to use, if you are in a similar situation and feel there is no hope.
Dare I say, he is the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).
Thank you again, Rhett and Sommer!

Rhett knows his stuff and I highly recommend him if you want someone who can really help you through a stressful situation. There is a reason he only has 5 star reviews.

After meeting with a handful of other attorneys who gave off the vibe that they were lying in an attempt to please me and take my money, I very much appreciated Rhett's honesty and demeanor upfront regarding my situation. Throughout my time with him, I definitely feel he helped create the best possible outcome in my case, was there to answer additional questions of mine in a timely matter, and gave me confidence in my on going situation. I hope to never have to, but if I was in need of an attorney in the future I'd be a returning customer and would recommend him first to anyone I knew in need

I will be recommending Rhett to anyone that needs attorney services for the rest of my life! He was very professional, from the first day I contacted him until my case was over. I loved that he would give weekly updates, even if there was no change with my case it still put my mind at ease. He is very easy to talk with and never left me with an unanswered question. Many of us have very little knowledge of the legal system so having an attorney that is experianced and well known in the clackamas county court system makes a world of a different in each individual case. You will be making one of the best decisions of your life hiring Rhett to be by your side through one of the most stressful times in your life.

I engaged Rhett Bernstein recently to help me through a legal situation. I have never needed to consult an attorney before and was apprehensive about what all would be involved. Rhett is incredibly easy to talk to and work with. He took control of my problem from the beginning and walked me through the different phases of what was required to get through the various legal procedures. I believe my eventual outcomes were highly affected in a positive way by his knowledge of the law, legal procedures and his relationships in the community. I highly recommend anybody seeking legal services to consult him.

I asked for Rhett's help in a rather uncomfortable legal matter that had me feeling overwhelmed. I contacted his office and got an immediate response and quickly had an appointment made for a free consultation. I explained my situation and what I had hoped to receive from his legal counsel. Rhett spoke to me in a caring and clear manner and quickly set my concerns to rest. He was courteous, professional and a great advocate for me.

Recently my friend got a DUI, she was really worried because she had a previous DUI in California. After searching for 2 days and talking to 10 different lawyers she then boiled it down to two.

Everything is now resolved and it was so nice to hear her stress levels reduced thanks to the help of Rhett Bernstein.

If you are in need of a great lawyer I would highly recommend Rhett Bernsrein.He is a man of impeccable character.
Not only is he compassionate and understanding ,He is proficient and accomplished.
I called quite a few lawyers
before contacting Rhett. They were quick to judge and unkind with their words.From the first time I talked to Rhett he told me not to worry ,and that everything will be fine.To enjoy the rest of my day.I went from crying in the beginning of our conversation to smiling and feeling alot of needed relief when we hung up.
I couldn't be more happier with the outcome of my case,and I know I owe it all to Rhett!
Look no further you have found the right lawyer!

I met with Mr. Bernstein and he immediately struck me as being competent and compassionate, and made me feel at ease during a very stressful time. I hired him on the spot and I’m very glad I did. Mr. Bernstein represented me well. He negotiated on my behalf and the outcome was better than I expected. He also kept in touch during the process and took the time to explain the various scenarios I was facing. He offered sound advice throughout. What I appreciate the most is that he was never callous and actually took the time to allay my anxiety throughout the process. I’m very grateful.

I highly recommend Mr. Bernstein! He gives his clients great advice along with the help that anyone needs. He always makes time for you even if he is on the road. It was nice knowing that if i had a question about anything he was reliable to get back as fast as he could. Provides excellent service along with keeping you in the loop of anything that happens. I will also say that this man is very knowledgeable of the law with a lot of experience, which also made me feel better about choosing him to defend me. I will definitely recommend Rhett Bernstein to anyone I know if they are in any trouble.

Rhett provided calm, caring, and intelligent advice at a time when we were under great stress and uncertainty. His ability to relate to us what we should expect from the legal system helped immensely and gave us great comfort in revealing the many unknowns we were faced with. He is an excellent attorney and is able to provide professional legal assistance with the best of them.

I was very pleased that Mr. Bernstein treated me like an individual rather than a "case" right from the start. He was very thorough in making sure everything was done efficiently and completely and always responded as promptly as possible when I had a question. As for the outcome, I couldn't have asked for anything better. He truly made a huge difference in a situation that could have turned out very badly. Additionally, when an issue arose later on, he was very quick to assist me with what I needed to resolve it, which I appreciate immensely.

I was in a seemingly unnavigable legal maze when I came to Rhett for advice. He gave me the facts I needed to make an educated decision regarding my case. Rhett's experience was readily apparent and made me feel positive that the outcome of my case would be favorable. I highly recommend Mr. Bernstein.

(Translated by Google) I had never been in trouble with the law and now I was being accused of a very serious crime after defending myself. I was very scared and confused without knowing what was going to happen to me. After many attempts to find the right lawyer, I sent a message to Rhett Bernstein via his website and I was very surprised when, in just a few minutes, Mr. Bernstein had called me on the phone. Unlike other lawyers, Rhett Bernstein is a good man who took the time to listen to my concerns demonstrating compassion and immediately began his investigation into my case. From the initial phone call I knew that this was the kind of representation I had been desperately looking for to fight my case. On the first date in his office, he immediately made me feel confident and like this event was not the end of the world. The day after I hired him, Rhett had already organized a court hearing so that I could see the judge and take the order for my arrest and thus allowing me to continue with my daily life until my next court. The sentence that the State wanted to impose on me was five to ten years in prison and Rhett Bernstein was able to reduce the charges of a serious crime to only a minimum crime without another day in jail, all this thanks to his hard work and determination. I personally gladly recommend Rhett and his staff.

Nunca había estado en problemas con la ley y ahora estaba siendo acusada de un delito muy grave después de haberme defendido. Estaba muy asustad y confundida sin saber qué es lo que iba a suceder conmigo. Después de muchos intentos por encontrar el abogado correcto, le mande un mensaje a Rhett Bernstein vía su página de Internet y me sorprendió mucho cuando en solo pocos minutos, El Señor Bernstein me había llamado por teléfono. A diferencia de otros abogados, Rhett Bernstein es un buen hombre que se tomó el tiempo de escuchar mis preocupaciones demostrando compasión y de inmediato comenzó su investigación sobre mi caso. Desde la llamada inicial por el teléfono supe que ese era el tipo de representación que había estado buscando desesperadamente para pelear mi caso. En la primera cita en su oficina me hizo sentir inmediatamente en confianza y como que este acontecimiento no era el fin del mundo. Al día siguiente de haberlo contratado, Rhett ya había organizado una audiencia en la corte para que pudiera yo ver al juez y quitar la orden para mi arresto y de esa manera permitiéndome continuar con mi vida diaria hasta mi próxima corte. La condena que el Estado me quería imponer era de cinco a diez años en prisión y Rhett Bernstein pudo disminuir los cargos de un delito grave a solo un delito mínimo sin un día más de cárcel, todo esto gracias a su arduo trabajo y determinación. Yo personalmente con gusto recomiendo a Rhett y su personal.

Mr. Bernstein's help during my DUII defense and entry into the Diversion program was beyond helpful. His professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail and patience is truly unparalleled. He carefully and thoroughly answered all of my questions and walked me through the process so that I knew what to expect and was fully ready to be successful in the program. While I would have preferred to never be in this position to start with, I can nonetheless say that I very much enjoyed working with Mr. Bernstein and would highly recommend him to others.

I was very happy with Rhett Bernstein's services for my DUII. After the first meeting I felt comfortable with his knowledge of law and professionalism. I believe that things turned as well as I could hope for. Rhett told me in the beginning to go home and enjoy my grandchildren and that it was now his battle. In some odd way it made me feel more comfortable. This attorney I would highly recommend. Talk to him once and see for yourself.

Rhett Bernstein is a great attorney. My case was handled with ideal professionalism and impeccable strategy. I personally feel he has met the point in his career where experience and skill have come together to form one hell of a councilor. I would recommend him to friends family and any stranger..

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bernstein in the Clackamas County area for many years. Mr. Bernstein is one of the first attorneys I got to know in Clackamas County. He is truly passionate about the client's he represents in criminal matters and probate matters. Anyone facing criminal allegations or needing estate planning services would be well-served by hiring Mr. Bernstein.
