Client

Bruce Bierhans helped our family after the tragic loss of our mother. Bruce supported our family every step of the way. He helped us to tell my mother's story and honor her memory, while seeking justice on her behalf. Bruce's tireless dedication and integrity were evident throughout the entire l...egal process and particularly at trial. Bruce Bierhans is an intelligent, kind, experienced and compassionate attorney who puts everything into his work. I am so grateful he was in our corner. Bruce Bierhans is truly in a class by himself. As a practicing attorney myself, I must add that the legal profession is better because Bruce Bierhans is a member.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
