Law Office of Kathy F. Bernick

With extensive experience in both jury and non-jury trials as well as mediations and arbitrations, I have also taken on the role of arbitrator in 20 distinct cases. For me, practicing law transcends mere financial gain; it represents a professional commitment that demands steadfast devotion to my clients' interests. Diligence and assertiveness are essential components of my practice, yet I believe that legal processes don’t need to be shrouded in complexity. My aim is to demystify the law for my clients by fostering their understanding of its principles and nuances since I’ve learned firsthand that informed clients play a crucial role in achieving successful outcomes. My primary objective remains centered around effectively addressing client needs. Having earned my Juris Doctorate from Loyola School of Law, I've been proudly serving as a member of the California State Bar since 1979 while holding an undergraduate degree with honors—a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota. Before embarking on this legal journey, I gained valuable industry experience working across various aerospace companies fulfilling roles such as programmer, systems analyst, and senior engineer.
