About Alena

Alena Klimianok is a partner specializing in both criminal defense and civil litigation, including personal injury. Having obtained her law degree with honors from Belarus State University in 2005, Alena interned for a Washingon, D.C. law firm. In 2007, Ms. Klimianok graduated cum laude from the LL.M. Program at McGeorge Law School, University of the Pacific. After having successfully completed internships with two major Los Angeles law firms, Ms. Klimianok joined Bernard & Bernard in 2009. In Alena's first 5 years with our firm, she has been co-counsel in several jury and court trials that all culminated in verdicts and/or judgments in our favor. Ms. Klimianok has been the point person responsible for a great deal of complex motion and discovery litigation, both civil and criminal. Through Alena's tenacity, tireless work ethic, and undaunted advocacy, she has prevailed on most, if not all, of her matters. In 2012 and 2013, the California's Million Dollar Verdicts edition of the Recorder has named Alena among the attorneys that have received top verdicts in California in those years. In 2015, Alena has been selected to the 2015 Southern California Rising Stars list by the Super Lawyer magazine – an honor that is limited to no more that 2.5 percent of the attorneys in California. Approximately 25% of Bernard & Bernard's criminal defense cases are pro bono, and as such, Ms. Klimianok volunteers a great deal of her personal time for the benefit of indigent clients.
