Bernstein & Friedland, PC

I am so fortunate to have found Bernstein and Friedland. Their compassion through my difficult time was very helpful. They only moved forward in the way that made me comfortable in my case. They are very professional and knowledgable.
Thank you

Polina and Diana were able to provide me with amazing legal representation during an incredibly difficult emotional time in my life. Their understanding of the labor code and the complexities of employment law was such a huge factor in not only helping me feel relaxed about a situation that was potentially stressful, but also a factor in the ultimate positive outcome.
It was very enjoyable for me to actually watch these ladies work. They are brilliant, dynamic, thoughtful, empathetic, resourceful and dedicated. I have never been in a situation where I required legal representation before and I certainly never hope I am again, but without hesitation I would recommend Bernstein & Friedland to anyone requiring help with matters of employment law. They do an incredible job.

This incredible tag team was everything we could have hoped for during a highly stressful, very touchy time. Not only did they communicate quickly and thoroughly with us regarding our case, but they assuaged our fears and concerns about it as well. While we would hope that all employment situations are mutually beneficial, mutually respected relationships, if you find yourself in a situation where you need positive results, Polina and Diana give everything of themselves. Thank you, ladies. You have truly changed our lives.

5 star legal work– on time, accurate, good results, reasonably priced, excellent service!

I had a wonderful experience working with Diana. She was able to guide me through an uncomfortable situation with my former employer and took the time to make sure I understood all of the components of my situation. They will for sure be my first phone call if I ever need this type of attorney again.

Polina and Diana are two of the most amazing attorneys that I have ever met. I will never forget how much they helped me in my situation with my former employer. They were nice, empathetic, and strong advocates for my rights. They helped me through the process every step of the way, always made themselves available to me, and answered any and every question I had regarding my situation. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who needs help in the area of employment law. I am greatly appreciative for their professionalism and strong work ethic!

My legal situation with my employer was incredibly complex and unusual in an out-​of-​the-​ordinary profession. Polina proved both capable of tackling the difficult issues as well as willing to listen and learn about the unusual way we do things. She was an excellent and firm advocate when I needed one, and always communicated clearly with me what my expectations should or should not be. Always professional, she also showed personal care at times and clearly cared that my situation be resolved favorably. I cannot recommend her and her counsel highly enough.

Diana & Polina are a dynamic duo of a legal team that provides equal parts pragmatic expertise and personal care. I knew from our very first meeting that I had found the right fit for representation. Employment law runs through their veins and I was able to find relief throughout the process knowing that I had seasoned professionals in my court. Diana managed to efficiently diffuse an emotionally charged time for me by clearly communicating expectations, providing grounded guidance and serving as a relentless advocate. I am both humbled and appreciative of the truly human approach they exhibited, delivering both positive professional and personal results.

Called the law office yesterday regarding a legal matter. Spoke to Leah who seemed uninterested and unsympathetic. She did however promptly call the next day saying they can’t help me. Information received = 0.

I am so grateful to Polina Bernstein and her sister Diana Friedland for their representation in the handling of my case. I would recommend their employment law practice to anyone who is in need. My case was highly emotional, and Polina was there for me every step of the way. I appreciated their time that they took when answering my questions, and they always responded to me without fail. I was very confident with Polina’s knowledge of the law and their expertise as they truly are extremely professional, hardworking, and they care about their clients.

I strongly believe in specializing when it comes to the practice of law. When you go to an attorney who has devoted their entire practice area to one subject matter, you get an attorney who knows what they are doing and are well versed in the nuances of that particular area of practice.
For employment law, Bernstein and Friedland are the only firm I trust. I am an attorney (not labor & employment) and when it was time for me to hire an employee, I immediately called Polina Bernstein and made an appointment to have her help me set up a hiring practice and HR policies that are in compliance with the law.
My father was threatened by a lawsuit involving one of his employees and I referred him to Polina without hesitation. Not only did she handle the matter efficiently, she handled it in a way that left my father and his company completely unscathed. I’m so fortunate to know Polina and Diana. I will continue to refer to them without hesitation. Thanks for helping my dad ladies. You really are remarkable.

I was referred to Ms. Bernstein by a colleague. I found her to be calm, direct and highly skilled. We discussed my situation and she represented me with true excellence. My outcome was very satisfactory and I have gone on to refer others to her. I absolutely recommend her!

I was referred to Polina Bernstein by another attorney after I was let go from my position at a high profile company in Los Angeles. With grace, tact, and intelligence, Polina walked me through the entire process — the pitfalls and the possibilities — and helped me settle with my former employer. Due to her incredible wealth of experience and training, we avoided a lengthy process and reached a fair and reasonable settlement. I couldn’t recommend Polina and her firm any higher.

Polina and Diana were invaluable in helping us through a challenging time. We were dealing with a lot of stress and worry over the uncertainties of our situation. They walked us through the whole process and were really dedicated to our case, ensuring that we had the best possible outcome. They answered all of our questions and took their time to assure that we were clear and comfortable about every decision. As a result of their professional and hard work, we were able to resolve our situation quickly and affordably.

Polina and Diana are the best lawyers and it was a real pleasure working with them. Particularly, I really enjoyed their creative way of thinking and handling various situations as they came up throughout the year. They are very professional, detail-​oriented, diligent, and always respond in a timely manner. I truly appreciate their commitment to my case and all the time and hard work they’ve put in. I am highly recommending them with great pleasure!

I first began working with Bernstein and Friedland in 2011 while managing Human Resources for a rapidly expanding start-​up organization. Polina and Diana were hands-​on partners who helped our company navigate the complexities of risk management and compliance. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in protecting our company during periods of growth as well as difficult periods of re-​organization.
I enthusiastically recommend their services.

As counsel to a midsize company, I have relied on Diana Friedland’s expansive legal knowledge and frequently turn to her for advice when it comes to employment law matters. Diana is fantastic at looking at a situation from an insightful, but practical perspective. There is a reason her firm was recently featured in the Los Angeles Daily Journal!
I highly recommend Bernstein & Friedland to any individual or business that is looking for competent, professional representation. Diana and Polina will remain my go to authorities on all matters related to employment law.

I consulted Diana and Polina recently on an employment law matter and received efficient and effective legal counsel focused on my situation. I so appreciate that I was able to reach Diana quickly, after hours, and received her clear and inspired guidance. She also spoke with compassion, which made me feel a lot better about the situation on which I needed advice.
As a fellow attorney, I appreciate when other attorneys demonstrate a level of excellence in the quality of advice and legal care they provide. Thank you and kudos to Bernstein & Friedland.
