Hired for family law. Bernie has stuck by me and my family for around 9 to 10 years so far after child custody was given to myself. When I hired Bernie I was very impressed with his education and community life. Bernie has gone above and beyound what law school could ever teach him. Bernie was a law student of the greatest defense attorney Gerry Spence. Bernies community life is more than what I expected. His involvment is very strong. I believe if their is one person who could correct what's wrong with the Centre county system it would be Bernie.

Attorney Cantorna did an excellent job in representing us in a malpractice claim against Mount Nittany Medical Center. He spent hundreds of hours learning every detail of a complex medical case. He did an excellent job in his examination of witnesses and in cross examining the defense witnesses. He is bring honor to the legal profession.

I know Bernie Cantorna to be a good person and an excellent lawyer with a passion for helping people in their time of need. When I was suffering from the depths of PTSD which was acutely exacerbated by an auto mobile accident and the ill effects of a concussion sustained from the same auto mobile accident, which was not my fault, I became unable to work or even care for myself. By using his experience, knowledge, and professional network, Bernie successfully provided me with his services by defending my rights and needs against an at fault insurance company. I know that Bernie did everything within his abilities to to defend my rights and make sure that I was taken care of in my desperate time of need. Ultimately, Bernie maximized the compensation I received from the at fault insurance company. I hope that no one I know would ever be in a such a helpless position, as the one I was in, but, if they were, I would absolutely recommend Bernie Cantorna to them. I am certain that Bernie would provide anyone, including you, with the same level of defense, care, and compassion that he provided me. It is who I know Bernie Cantorna to be.

He took on our very complicated and not easily winnable case. Not only did he manage to secure an outcome that exceeded our most optimistic expectations, he did so with an admirable respect and passion for the legal process and justice. At every opportunity he explained options, offered advice and genuinely listened to all our doubts. We remain grateful, and indebted, to this day. Even though this was a stressful and unwelcome experience for us -- as we were being sued and did not want to have anything to do with litigation -- working with Bernie was as pleasant as any such experience could be. We consulted many lawyers in the area, and in adjacent cities. Our choice was the right one. Bernie's brilliance and legal expertise are unparalleled.

At a time of complete devastation in my life I found Bernard Flynn Cantorna. He trusted in me before I learned how much I could trust and believe in him. He came to my aid and with sincerity/honesty/persistence and dedication to right the wrong, he defended me against a dishonest lawyer and saved my life. He not only righted many wrongs, he restored my faith in other human beings...and I consider him a trusted friend for life.
