I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in Henrico County, Virginia. I was subsequently issued a summons for Reckless driving, a misdemeanor in Virginia, and given a court date of April 30th. As I am a New Jersey resident I did not know where to turn. I received sixteen letters from attorneys in the vicinity of Henrico. The letters ranged from horribly scary and intimidating to overly pompous.
I decided to contact the firm of BernsteinHough as their letter stood out as brief, informational and written as one human being to another. No threats, intimidation or worst case scenario, just “you need help, we can provide it.”
I then contacted their office and spoke to their legal assistant, Jennifer. I was immediately put at ease by her demeanor, knowledge and willingness to hear my story. She advised the two partners were currently (on vacation) in Europe but would contact me within 24 hours which they did. Paula Bernstein Hough Esq. called me (from her vacation) and we discussed my story. I found her to be professional and engaged. I hired the firm upon their return.
On several occasions I contacted the office via email and phone. Jennifer was always polite, professional and knowledgeable. She provided me with the information I needed to prepare for my case. Jennifer was always available and was an efficient conduit between me and the attorneys.
Jumping ahead to April 30th , I was not required to appear. Later that day I learned the case had been dismissed and I paid the court cost. I will be eternally grateful for the peace of mind their firm provided to me. I HIGHLY recommend the firm if you need a lawyer.

I was stopped for speeding on 295 and was going fast enough to qualify for Reckless Driving. I hired these folks after receiving a bunch of letters in the mail from different attorneys. Everyone was efficient and helpful. Jenn was support helpful and very responsive with any questions I had through the process. I spoke with Greg to start but Paula stepped in to help on the day of court due to a conflict with court schedules. She was amazing as well. I hope I never need your services again but I will not hesitate to call if I do. Thanks again!

I had a speeding ticket, and within a couple of days, my mail box was flooded with mails from all kinds of lawyers and firms seeking to represent me in court. I chose this law firm because their message sounded very transparent and when I called , Jennifer —their paralegal, she was phenomenal. I got to speak with the attorney and she was very transparent, upfront and I felt relieved knowing that she’s got this. The attorney made me aware of possible outcomes and their consequences and what’s NOT going to happen. I’m glad I chose this law firm .
Let me also add that, the paralegal was excellent in our conversations and guided me through putting together documents. Her patience in working with people needs to be rewarded.
I’m amazed and thankful that they got me the best possible deal and I didn’t have to appear in court!

Hired this law firm a week and half before my son’s reckless driving court date. They were very efficient and accommodating and informative! I blindly choose them based off the “cold” letters we received in the mail and I am VERY thankful that we went with them. Got my teenage sons charge dismissed Totally! I wasn’t even expecting that to happen. Jen was GREAT at making sure we had everything for the judge and Greg was very good and I could tell he was respected in court. I would highly recommend them for traffic violations!
