As massively brilliant as I am, there are things that even I don’t have a good grasp on. I do, however, know where to go when I don’t understand something. One of those things is the crazy complex world of the law in theory and practice.

Not only is it hard to understand, but if you wind up in a legal clusterfuck and make a mistake, even an honest one, you can end up in a world of hurt. So, rather than rely on my own understanding of the law, I turn to experts who practice in the area that I live in. This is the reason why I do reviews on legal enterprises like Eric M. Bernstein & Associates.

As you can see on their website, they have a deep knowledge of how American law works in many areas. Rather than force you all to read the enormous amount of text on their site, I’ll boil down their background and services here.

I’ll Begin By Describing The Pedigree Of The Attorneys

No matter what kind of review I do, I tend not to focus on the individual workers. In this case, I will make an exception seeing how talented and experienced the four lawyers who run this firm.

Dominic P. DiYanni, Associate

Being a Quinnipiac University and Dickson College graduate, Mr. DiYanni’s original study areas were tax policy and political science. This has led to him specializing in tax, business, and general government law along with land policy and litigation. Furthermore, he also has an expert understanding of specific legislation such as the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) and local public contracts law.

He’s also worked with other private firms and also continues to serve as counsel in the local court system in his area. There is more to his education and experience than that, but I think that what I’ve presented is plenty to demonstrate this attorney’s competence and trustworthiness.

Brian M. Hak, Of Counsel

With thirty years of legal experience under his belt, Brian Hak has worked in multiple roles in the state of New Jersey as a lawyer. Not only that, but this man published in reputable legal journals and been accredited with professionally acting in a few high-profile cases in the nineties. These days, in addition to working with Bernstein et al., Mr. Hak also heads a few classes and seminars educating prospective lawyers.

Philip G. George, Of Counsel

This gentleman is another one with multiple decades of experience, particularly when addressing litigation cases. He’s also worked leadership roles in several occupations regarding education and law. As Bernstein and Associates’ member, Mr. George practices municipal and government law and labor, employment, and environmental law.

Eric Martin Bernstein, Principal

With four decades of experience practicing law, Mr. Bernstein has operated in several court systems throughout the United States. To provide just a few examples, Bernstein has been part of the New Jersey and DC Bar associations, worked within several district courts in the Midwest, and has been admitted to the US Supreme Court.

He’s also gotten a substantial number of awards for his good work. To give you the specifics, this attorney has been the recipient of Who’s Who in American Law, Who’s Who in the United States, Who’s Who in the World. Further, he’s been the raining winner of the Super Lawyer in the fields of Municipal and Labor/Employment Law from 2006 to now.

Finally, he’s been recognized on a grand scale by receiving the International Trial Lawyers Award provided by the University of Oklahoma. With a list of accomplishments like this, I think it’s safe to say that you are in good hands if you hire this guy and his associates.

The Law Firm’s Staff Is Small, But Their Areas Of Practice Are Vast

In the past, the law firms that I’ve looked at tend to focus on a few legal practice areas. However, I honestly do not think I have seen so many legal disciplines. Without any further ado, let’s break down each area of legal practice.

Labor & employment law

Some lawyers have an itchy trigger finger, so to speak, when it comes to helping former employees sue the hell out of their former job provider. Conversely, Bernstein and Associates act to protect honest employers from bogus suits from nefarious actors who are out for petty revenge or looking to hose a company to make quick cash.

By the way, this firm has no problem representing clients who operate in either the private or public sector.

Municipal & government legal codes

Law is incredibly complex at the federal level. Though local ordinances and regulations are piling up on the books these days, there is no shortage of government actors looking to make money by going after civilians on minor or non-existent charges. Once again, this law firm is happy to help people out if they find themselves in this situation and addressing affordable housing issues, public infrastructure construction conflicts, rent control, and other common legal disputes.

Land use & environmental policy

Another common municipal legal problem that people run into, especially businesses in construction and real estate, is zoning and sewerage and related regulatory matters. While I don’t know from experience, I know enough to know that this can be a debilitating problem to overcome if you’re running a business. Consequently, hiring a firm like this might be a pricey but necessary preventative strategy to consider.

Litigation

As they put it, litigation “isn’t just the exciting courtroom scene you see on TV and the movies.” It’s a form of negotiation that is required for long-term legal solutions to legal conflicts. Though it is interesting to see in fiction and reality, it requires extensive attention to detail that only a series of experienced experts like these guys can provide to create a resolution.

Internet law & the First Amendment

Even in countries that claim to value freedom of speech and the press, it is constantly under attack from censors and prudes. If you need any examples, look at all of the writing I’ve done on vice and obscenity laws that people still try to have enforced. In addition to that, there are always issues cropping up when it comes to enforcing trademarks, protecting e-commerce ventures, domain disputes, and the like. Bernstein and Associates can be a valuable asset for you when it comes to these conflicts and others.

Education policy

Most people will never wind up in a courtroom over legal challenges in this category, but those who do need the best legal aid from a firm like this one. This includes owners, principals, and educational staff in private, charter, and special education schools, along with those who wind up in contract negotiation issues.

Political elections

Running for office is more than just raising money and giving rousing speeches. There are loads of complexities when it comes to filing for any governmental position. If this applies to you or someone you know, consider working with these fine folks.

Media & telecommunications

Before the creation of the internet, media law has been divided into print and telecommunications. But in the digital, things have become considerably more complex from a business and regulatory standpoint. Thanks to Bernstein and his co-workers, they can help you navigate this increasingly complex legal climate, especially in light of the First Amendment and Freedom of Information Act.

Now Let’s Wrap Up With How To Get Started

If you’ve got any questions or are trying to get some complimentary advice, you can fill out the contact page form. Another set of options would be to call (732) 805-3360, email [email protected], or if you are old school, send out a fax to 732-805-3346.

Keep in mind before you do reach out, you should do a couple of things. Before you submit a query, look up their question and answer page. Now, it’s not up yet, but soon will be, so read that page before you ask something that’s already been addressed.

Another thing to remember is that you are not automatically considered a client when you initially communicate with Eric Bernstein and his associates. That only occurs when you provide a Terms of Representation document.

However, you should soon be all set to get assistance from one of the finest legal service providers I have yet reviewed once you do. Since they are located in New Jersey, some of you might not benefit from their services. However, I think you’ll have a positive experience with this five-hand level firm for those who live in the same state or federal jurisdiction.
