Our Mission
When Joe Bernstein started his law practice more than 50 years ago, he knew what clients needed: the best possible advice.
An established businessman before entering the legal profession and a hand-picked member of President Lyndon Johnson’s task force on minority small businesses, Joe Bernstein and his son Bob made it their priority to balance a client’s business interests with their legal needs. When Kirk Burkley joined the firm in 2002, he shared the vision that Joe and Bob had for the Pittsburgh law firm, and today as managing partner, Kirk carries on that tradition at Bernstein-Burkley, P.C.
