"I endorse this lawyer. Known him since 1988 when he was a partner at Washor & Raticoff in Ft. Lauderdale. For 4 and 1/2 years I worked in the same office building he shared with my former bosses the Langes. I'd seen Bruce in his best personal moments and his worst. Always a pro. He specialized and probably still specializes in serious drug cases and homicides. I remember he had one case he handled back in 1988 or 89 that involved the Cloth World Arson Murders. He was a special public defender representing a guy named Henry who robbed the store he worked at after hours and burned two women alive. One lived long enough to give a taped statement, and that was a major evidentiary battle. Though his client was charged with a gruesome, heinous, brutal crime Bruce handled the case professionally. Bruce is one of the best out there"
