The firm was founded in 1968 and is built on three generations of family members in the legal profession all serving the Metro Detroit area.

The first generation of Bernstein lawyers included Mandell Bernstein and Estelle Koblin-Nelson, both practicing law in Detroit. The patriarch of the Bernstein family of lawyers, Mandell Bernstein, was born in 1899. Mandell graduated from law school in 1922 and practiced law in Detroit. The matriarch of the Bernstein family of lawyers, Estelle Koblin-Nelson, was one of the first female attorneys in Michigan in 1936 when she was admitted to the State Bar of Michigan.

Sam Bernstein represents the second generation of the Bernstein family of lawyers. After graduating from Wayne State University Law School in 1968, Sam continued the tradition established by his father, Mandell, and mother-in-law, Estelle.

The third generation of Bernstein lawyers includes Mark Bernstein, Richard H. Bernstein and Beth Bernstein. All three siblings currently practice law together at The Law Offices of Samuel I. Bernstein.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.
    Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.
    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
