Bernstein & Poisson

My husband was involved in a car accident in San Diego. He was the passenger of a car that rolled over down a 200 ft ravine off the 805. Attorney Sean Akari and the rest of the team at Bernstein & Poisson really took his case as their own and assisted him in all legal matters. Needless to say, the culpable parties were held responsible and my husband’s medical fees, among other pain and suffering, were taken care of. Thank you so much to the team here for your hard work and determination! It’s much appreciated.

Ya I was going to b cool n not post negative but after going threw what I did I’m just warning u forget this place. If ur lawyer rolls up to work in a 200k car he don’t give a fuck about u. Period. If u know other driver is at fault n is ticketed for reckless driving handle it urself. You will get more n a lotv less time. The only time I heard from this place is when I called n after 11 months I finally got my poss poor settlement.

I was involved in an extremely serious car accident in January of this year. My car was totaled and I was transported by ambulance to UMC ER as a result. I knew right away that I would need some assistance with my medical bills, insurance, and recovery so I looked on Unilocal and started to do research on which of the numerous attorneys in Las Vegas to seek help from. This was the first time in my life I had ever been in such a serious accident and needed assistance. There are so many law firms here in the valley that it was just overwhelming for me at first. The best decision I made was to choose Bernstein & Poisson. From the first call I made into their office to the day I received my settlement, the staff was nothing but supportive and helpful. They kept me updated throughout the entire process from beginning to end. Both Sean Akari and his assistant Jovanna were lifesavers and I could not have asked for a better team to help me with this process!

My mother fell out of her bed onto a hard floor while in her rehab care home. Soon after that injury, the same facility had her fall out of her wheel chair, and finally she was injured in an auto mishap on her way to a doctor’s office visit while in the rehab’s van. The doctor’s appointment was made without family knowledge or prior permission. My mother was in the rehab facility because she fractured her hip, and her surgeon wanted mom to have three weeks of rehab. I begged the rehab facility to put down cushioned mats in case my mother fell out of her armless hospital bed, but they refused, but I left with a promise by the CA she would be watched ²⁴⁄₇. The fall, per her Orthopedic surgeon, extended her recovery time from three weeks to eight plus weeks mostly bed time since she was no longer allowed to walk. I initially had a telephone conversation with Mr. Bernstein, and he felt we had a case against the rehab facility. I met once with Jessica Munoz, Esq. in January 2015, I mentioned my mother’s age (90), and asked if we had a case. I was told an investigator would review the case, and get back to me. I handed over all my notes, pictures, letters, and the rehab facilities medical records soon after my visit with Jessica. I had no calls from this firm for six months. I made one inquiry call which was quickly, harshly dismissed by Mr. Poisson with him stating how long, expensive medical lawsuits are. Pretty much I got the impression «Don’t call us, we’ll call you». I received a July 24, 2015 letter stating they do not wish to represent my family in this case. The letter, inaccurately states, they were confirming a conversation I never had with them regarding dropping our case. In the letter they mentioned time was running out to file my lawsuit, which would be because of their total lack of communication to me. There also was no mention when my records would be returned. I am now back home in Hawaii, so I cannot easily get my documents. My mother passed away March 28, 2015 a few months after her stay at Life Care. I believe Life Care hastened my mother’s demise. I can only surmise this case would not be the financial windfall Bernstein and Poisson initially felt it would be even if they won, thus we are dropped.

I want to said, thanks to all the team!
I really appreciate all you guys did for me after my accident!

The only reason I’m giving 1 star because I couldn’t give no star. They are thrives and I had a awful experience with them do yourself a favor and stay away from them or you’ll remember this advice when they rip you off.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Chris took such a burden from my shoulders handling everything with my car accident.

Bernstein and Poisson was a huge help in getting my case completed. They were quick to respond to emails and calls and got me what I was hoping for and more for my injury. Definitely a relief after having to deal with the pain from the accident and the hospital bills. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who gets in an accident and wants a great lawyer to get them an easy and large settlement. Jack, Scott, Jessica, and Chris were all especially helpful.

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in November of 2014. When I was taken out of work, slammed with doctor appointments, and uninsured, I was forced to seek help in handling this case. I was not at fault and felt that I needed support since this was my first accident.
I called Bernstein and Poisson before anyone else, based off of the reviews. It was the right choice. I left a message and was met by Jessica that night at my house. THAT NIGHT. She aligned with me and assured me that this was no longer something for me to worry about, she took it into her hands. Gabby, her assistant was also an amazing asset. It’s the little things like her sweet, reassuring voice, promt replies, and all around helpfulness that makes me 100% sure that no matter how dangerous it is to ride a bike in this city, I am safe in the hands of Bernstein and Poisson. I was awarded the case settlement only a few months after the accident with even more than I expected. This company doesn’t just work for you, they work with you.
I gave a 5 star rating but given the chance, I’d give it a 10+ .and this is my first Unilocal review I have ever written.

My boyfriend was in an accident on a Friday night where a man didn’t yield when turning into a shopping center. Thankfully he was okay with the exception of a whiplash and some back pain. We immediately contacted Glen Lerner, only to hear that whoever andwered was not an attorney and seemed to be in the middle of dinner. We scheduled an appt with them anyway but they couldn’t see us until Monday. Saturday morning, my boyfriend woke up in pain so we decided to call Jack Bernstein & Poisson after googling additional attorneys. Jack Bernstein himself answered and put our minds at ease. He told us that one of his associates, Brian Boyer, Esq. would give us a call to meet with us THAT DAY. Brian met with us to further guide us through the process. The case was open in February 2014 and closed in October 2014. It was a bit lengthy but it was to be expected as these things take time. Brian kept us in he loop throughout the entire process. We ran into a few mishaps in the process of determining the settlement amount but in the end, Brian pushed through to get the amount we were comfortable with. Not a penny less and not a penny more. Ultimately, it was a good experience that has given us the opportunity to take care of other pending issues. I totally recommend them. They were very professional and mindful of our needs.

Very professional and commited to expedite my case! Jaime Corcoran is an intelligent attorney who always had an answer for my many questions, I will definitely go back to them should I ever be involved in another accident!

I was referred to this law office by a friend during my first car accident. The staff is empathetic, professional and extremely efficient. They took care of everything, from my legal needs to my health. There was not one thing I had to stress or worry about during my time of recovery.
Unfortunately I had a second car accident (living in Las Vegas this is no surprise), and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Alicia and Chris are a force to be reckoned with and get the job done. Not only are they driven to help you receive the justice you deserve but also show real concern for your health. They have made many transitions very smooth for me and have great relationships with some of the best chiropractic services in town.
Thank you for being a reliable resource and providing the peace of mind many people need after such stressful situations!

If I could give this law firm a NEGATIVE 5 I would. My case was a basic case. Someone hit me while I was waiting at a red light. Totaled my car sending my family to seek medical attention. These law clowns kept switching my file from one of their associates to another, having no clue of the status of my case. Making my case take that much longer. I had to keep following up with them and most of the time they had NO CLUE. I didn’t receive compensation until 3 ½ years later. And the compensation was as pathetic as their commercials, we were robbed, if we would have gone with another firm we would of most likely received 60−70% more than I received.
My mother on the other hand had a similar accident and received much more compensation and her case only took a little over a year with another law firm.
I should have gotten a clue with their lame commercials. Have you seen them? Pathetic. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM.
