Bernstein is one of the more than one million lawyers in United States. Before choosing Jan L. Bernstein as your lawyer, you should consider whether Jan L. Bernstein offers free consultation, (if not) how much the initial interview costs, if there is any hidden attorney fees, what's the fee schedule, whether he or she has good community reputation and is able to provide a list of good references. You can also contact the Board of Professional Responsibility of the state bar, to find out if Jan L. Bernstein has ever been placed under any disciplinary actions. Please be aware that, though Jan L. Bernstein's office is located at Hackensack, NJ, he or she might belong to the bar association of other states.
You should also ask how long the lawyer has been in practice, how much experience he or she has in cases like yours, and more importantly, the outcomes of those cases! Focus of the lawyer's practice and years of experience are also very important factors in your evaluation process. The more focused the lawyer's practice areas, the better service he or she could provide. So do not make decisions solely on one or two factors. Only hire lawyers you feel comfortable with as they will represent you and your interests, and you will be sharing private details about your life with them.
