Reasons to Choose the Berniard Law Firm
No Fee Unless You Win
The Berniard Law Firm fees are based on a contingency basis. Therefore, there are no expenses or cost unless we are successful in attaining a settlement for you. Our fees are based on the amount we recover, OVER AND ABOVE any amount you have already recovered. Therefore, if the insurance company has offered or already paid you $10,000 and you feel this amount was not sufficient, the Berniard Law Firms fees are based only on the amount over and above the original $10,000. Therefore, if the Berniard Law Firm recovers another $50,000 on your claim the fees are based on the $50,000 recovered by the Berniard Law Firm, not the whole of the claim or $60,000.
