Kirk Bernard
I want to personally thank you for considering the Law Offices of
Kirk Bernard. I realize that you have options in seeking legal counsel,
and the number of alternatives can be overwhelming. In order to
help you decide if ours is the right firm for you, I'd like to tell
you a bit about myself.
For me, representing the rights
of victims is more than a career - - it's a personal mission. My
father, Saul Bernard, started his practice in the 1930s and tried
hundreds of cases representing all types of clients, regardless
of status or standing. His only criteria for taking a case was whether
he could help someone who had been wronged. During his 40 years
as a counselor-at-law it was his motto that in the practice of law,
the objective was to make a difference.
BIOGRAPHY:
Kirk Bernard has been a civil
litigator for over 20 years, having been first admitted to the bar
in 1981, specializing in personal injury cases representing the
right of accident victims on a contingency basis. Mr. Bernard has
obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for his
clients. Odell v. Wooden Boat Foundation, $1,004,000 settlement.
Explosion case involving liquid nails. Settled at mediation. Confidential
Case Information, $4,400,000 settlement, inclusive of lifetime
annuity. Automobile accident involving a defective seat belt. The
plaintiff, a minor, was a passenger in an automobile operated by
his parents. The vehicle was involved in a head-on collision, causing
traumatic brain injury to the plaintiff. Salguero v. City of
Los Angeles, $950,000 settlement plus lifetime annuity for minors
in excess of $5 Million Dollars. Products liability case involving
a defective part that caused a helicopter to crash onto the plaintiff.
The deceased was a Hispanic immigrant who worked as a janitor and
was survived by two children and a putative spouse. Basye v.
Sorathia, $166,000 jury verdict. 22-year-old woman rear-ended
in automobile accident. Plaintiff suffered two small bulging discs.
Defendant refused all offers to settle. Three day jury trial.
Mr. Bernard owns and operates
two law firms, in Seattle, Washington and in Los Angeles, California.
Throughout his legal career, Mr. Bernard has participated in other
notable cases such as Meisner v. State of Washington, et
al., a motorcycle case involving inadequate signs in a highway construction
zone with catastrophic injuries for $5.5 Million dollars two weeks
before trial was scheduled to commence; Nelli and Wages v. Wah
Kue Café, a commercial establishment alcohol liability
case with drinking in both cars, $1.5 Million dollar settlement;
Bargas v. Houlihan's, another commercial establishment alcohol
liability case with the bartender who served the driver as the plaintiff,
case settled for $725,000. Mr. Bernard was also involved in representing
the victims who suffered injuries as a result of being prescribed
the drug Baycol and was able to successfully resolve their
claims. In the product liability case against Sultzer, he
was able to resolve the claims of the victims in the Sultzer hip
prosthesis litigation.
Mr. Bernard is an active member
of the bar and is licensed in Washington and California. He is also
a member of the Consumer Attorney's Association, a member of ATLA
and an eagle member of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association.
In some cases, simply getting
financial compensation for our clients is not enough. By the use
of the contingency retainer, plaintiff attorneys have actually been
able to change laws in areas such as HMO liability in California.
Through our efforts, the general public has benefitted and further
abuses have been curtailed.
This is my personal commitment
to you, should you retain our firm. I, along with my fully trained
staff, will work tirelessly and yield to no obstacle until your
rights have been restored. Until those liable have been made to
pay. Until justice has been served.
