What recent reviews say

Dworken & Bernstein has strong suits: named attorneys like Erik Walter, Kristen Kraus, and Lydia Gross earn consistent praise for responsiveness and results. But the firm struggles with front-desk access. Callers report long holds, hang-ups, and dismissive receptionists that overshadow the quality work happening behind the scenes.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: Older complaints (3-4 years ago) about reception and non-response match recent frustrations (9 months ago), suggesting persistent front-desk issues despite positive attorney-level reviews.

Praised for
  • responsive, knowledgeable staff
  • caring, thorough attorneys
  • strong case outcomes
  • personal attention to clients
Watch-outs
  • hard to reach by phone
  • rude or dismissive reception
  • slow communication delays
  • expensive fees with little progress
knowledgeableresponsive-communicationcompassionateaggressive-advocatepoor-communicationhard-to-reach
Best for: Clients who connect directly with an attorney and want proven, hands-on representation.
Think twice if: You need easy phone access or quick responses to initial inquiries; front desk reception has been a persistent weak point.

Strengths

  • Named attorneys with recognized results
  • Personal client attention and follow-up
  • Broad service offerings across practice areas

Worth knowing

  • Erik Walter: praised for responsiveness and client care
  • Kristen Kraus: noted for compassion and communication despite high caseload
  • Lydia Gross: complex family law work, successful outcomes on complicated UCCJEA cases
  • Patrick and Frank: handled claims with diligent work
  • Long hold times and rude reception staff reported in multiple complaints
  • Receptionist named Susy cited for unhelpfulness and dismissiveness in one complaint
