Law Office of Berne Reuben

Representing Victims for Over Twenty-Five Years

This lawyer is licensed to practice in California and has no record of discipline from the California bar association.*

Firm Overview

I began my firm in 1983 and worked as a sole practitioner until May 2003 when I joined the law firm of Hersh & Hersh in San Francisco. My focus has always been to try to right wrongs perpetrated by "bad guys" against "good guys."

Example cases

I have worked on numerous cases involving sexual harassment-primarily in the workplace, including a jury verdict/judgment for a woman sexually harassed on the assembly line. I also worked to obtain a jury verdict/judgment for a man who was the victim of "male on male" sex harassment. Additionally, I handled several cases involving unlawful harassment by debt collectors, a case involving a woman who was fired for refusing to work with a supervisor who was using a racial epithet against her and a case of harassment because of my client's sexual orientation. I work on a multitude of cases where my clients were treated unlawfully in the workplace.

Berne Reuben

I clerked for two years in the United States District Court for the Honorable William J. Nealon, Chief Justice, Middle District of Pennsylvania. I worked for a law firm in San Francisco from 1980 to 1983 and I've have taught first year torts and insurance law and litigation at Golden Gate University Law School. I have also served as a Judge Pro Tem in small claims court.

I am aided by my twenty-five years of litigation experience.

I believe I have the ability to "cut to the chase" and also understand what is reasonable. I have an expertise in cross examination and jury selection. I also always try to keep in mind what is best for my client.

I am reasonable, but tough.

Personal interests:

I love playing music (mostly rock and roll, generally rhythm instruments). I have always played sports (although I notice this has been decreasing as I have gotten older). I also like games (primarily backgammon and poker).
