Stephanie is awesome. She is a fierce advocate and her voice does not go unheard. Highly recommend!

In my opinion Attorney Bernstein, sometimes blurs her own emotions into the cases she represents. This is not fact and only my opinion but she seems to be willing to make outlandish accusations only to walk them back later in a court of law to save her own reputation when she was clearly wrong. Not very trustworthy. Do not recommend.
Owner response
I have never represented this individual, I have not made "outlandish accusations only to walk them back later in a court of law" I represent my client zealously and ethically. It is apparent that Mr. Mastrocola was not happy with the outcome of his court case.

I met with Stephanie herself one time 4 years ago and thought she was great. I reached out to try and schedule another appointment and was called by a secretary. Secretaries should not be speaking on any matter or giving any idea of what might be discussed if they aren't fully certain. She was dismissive and not listening to me and tried to tell me what I might need while going about it in a very inappropriate manner. It made me feel so uncomfortable that I ended the conversation and went with another attorney from town.
Owner response
I am so sorry you feel this way but to clarify, it was my family paralegal who called you back and I heard the conversation, as I was in the office when she called you back and she was informative, pleasant and respectful. Additionally, our response time to your inquiry was immediate, and we were happy to help you, had you chosen to use my firm.

I am so thankful that I picked Stephanie to be the attorney by my side fighting for me at the most stressful time of my life. Stephanie Bernstein is a fantastic custody attorney. She is so knowledgeable, honest, responsive, hardworking and delivered the best possible results. I completely trust her advice. Attorney Bernstein could have made more money by going to court one last time but instead she created an amazing agreement that was 100% in my favor. I highly recommend her for any of your family court needs. She was extremely supportive and completely went above and beyond meeting all my legal needs entirely!

Do not recommend if you are a man served with divorce papers. One sided, and not on behalf of her client. Too busy to address client issues. Expensive

Stephanie is personable, educated, and continually determined to work for her clients. She will always take the time, no matter when it is, to listen to her clients and advocate for them. We have been dealing with a difficult custody case for years and no matter the issue, she is very responsive and makes herself available to help us. No matter the role of her client (mother or father), she fights for what is right for her client and the child, and will stand behind and advocate for the parental agreement she works hard to get. We cannot say enough good things about her….we are so happy to have Attorney Bernstein on our side.

Stephanie was amazing regarding my custody case. When it comes to a child it’s hard to trust anyone, but Stephanie provided guidance, support, and reassurance. She was honest and did not sugarcoat anything which I loved because it made everything more realistic. I highly recommend her for any of your family court needs.

Divorced a man that was never held accountable for anything … got away with everything in Florida … hired this lawyer here in CT after escaping and being granted relocation and I finally get to say my baby girl is FINALLY SAFE! With her mom and brother and will grow up unscathed and happy in peace ! Always hold the hope that maybe he’ll one day want to be dad to this amazing little girl and take responsibility and get the help he needs…. But until he can be a safe person … I get to keep my baby safe! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome… literally.. Thank you to the whole team over there !

Best service I could have ever asked for. She listens and she fights for you as her client. Definitely the best lawyer in Family Court cases by far. She is very knowledgeable and is able to explain things to you so you can understand. Her services are highly recommended!

Terrible service. Nothing explained. You trust her to represent you best interest and unfortunately it does not happen. Excuse after excuse.
Owner response
I am sorry you feel this way. I gave you excellent service, going above and beyond even traveling to your home at your request to view the condition in which your home was left. I responded to all of your questions, and I gave you my cell so that you could (and did) communicate freely and frequently. Again, I am sorry that this is the way that you feel. I wish you nothing but the best.
