“I highly recommend attorney Jesse Bernheim and his team for any readers future needs. Mr.Bernheim handled my insurance claim in a timely manner and both him and his team kept me informed throughout the entire process. Without his representation, My claim would of been denied and I would of had several out of pocket expenses. Not only was the claim settled but it was settled for the amount needed for repairs. Thank you Jesse and hopefully I won’t need you in the future but if I do, your the first phone call made. You are a true professional.”
