After graduating at the top of my class from Penn State, I attended Yale Law School. I was then selected from among other Yale Law graduates for a Liman Fellowship, which funded my work in the Supreme Court and Appellate Program at the MacArthur Justice Center. I left MacArthur in 2023 to found Bernicker Law.. In my transactional and advisory practice, I have assisted startups, small businesses, and nonprofits with a range of matters, including incorporation, mergers & acquisitions, trademark clearance & registration, and data privacy. I have also advised individuals, including professional athletes in the United States and England, on immigration, estate planning, and tax matters.. As a litigator, I have tried criminal cases, represented tort and housing discrimination plaintiffs, and handled civil and criminal appeals in state and federal courts across the country.. I am licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia and to represent people before federal agencies, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the First, Second, and Sixth Circuits, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. I am also qualified to advise clients on English law.. In addition to practicing law, I run a startup that is creating a collaborative legal writing platform for lawyers. I previously developed custom software tools for other legal services providers, including a tool that uses AI to summarize judicial opinions and another tool that partially automated the process of reviewing medical records in a high-profile class action lawsuit.

I began my career as an inspired entrepreneur with a big idea. Starting a company isn’t easy, but I was surprised at how difficult it was to work with an attorney. I saw this as an opportunity and pivoted to pursue a career as a legal professional. After graduating from a top law school and working at respected Arizona firms, I co-founded Glide Legal. I’ve focused my career on providing legal counsel to entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes, from national corporations to local Arizona start-ups and family run businesses.. My approach is simple, to help you navigate your legal issues without standing in the way of business and innovation. Every business can benefit from having trusted legal counsel in their corner, and Glide Legal was built to be just that.. I enjoy the challenge of mastering a new craft. Beyond the practice of law, my obsessions include golfing, backpacking and exploring new places with my wife, and playing guitar/songwriting.

In 2008, Kevin and his law partner, Brian, founded CullenCollimore, pllc, and brought their extensive trial and legal experience to create an effective, efficient, and responsive firm – a firm founded by trial lawyers who actually try cases..

I started my own practice in an attempt to assist new entrepreneurs to jump cumbersome, complicated and expensive legal andregulatory hurdles when starting or growing business.  The cornerstone of my practice is providing clients cost-effective guidanceand business service that are necessary to build a proper foundation in a new or existing business.  I am looking to forge long-lasting relationshipswith my clients to establish a business “partnership,” able and willing to be at a client’s service 24/7 – always on call to providecounsel that helps meet expectations and achieve goals.. To this end, I feel it is essential for an attorney to not only be proficient inlegal doctrine, but also to have that doctrine grounded in the client’sbusiness and financial realities.  Drawing from my business and accounting graduate education and prior business experience, I advise clients not only from a legal perspective, but from a business and financial standpoint to provide truly effective and comprehensive counsel.

For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with dynamic business owners, executive teams, and entrepreneurs on a wide variety of commercial matters. I have worked with companies that are just starting out and have no revenue to large, private corporations with revenue over $100 million.  No matter what the task, my goal is to work with clients to understand their business goals and then serve as an effective strategic advisor to help my clients achieve those goals. I devise ways to manage projects so that they are cost-effective while also meeting the time demands of clients.  No matter the size the company, every client gets the time and attention that they need and deserve.. On the weekends, you may catch me in my kitchen trying to recreate Italian pastries and meals that my family enjoyed when I was growing up, experimenting with Filipino cuisine or enjoying good food and wine with friends. My husband and I also enjoy weekend warrior projects on our 100+ year old home in the North End of Nashua.. Giving back to my community is important.  I have served as President of the New Hampshire Women’s Bar Association and on the board of the New England Women’s Leadership Institute.  I have also served on the boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua, the Nashua Innovation Center and  United Way of Greater Nashua. Iwas a founding member of the Souhegan Valley “Happy Hour” Rotary Club.  I am a member of the Leadership Greater Nashua Class of 2008-2009 and currently serve on the board of the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce. I am also a volunteer with the Center for Women & Enterprise, providing pro bono legal consultations to startup owners.
