Bruce D Sawyer

I concur with everyone's reviews on here as well as other other sites regarding his blatant disregard for professional communications. He has a backlog of clients and does not inform clients of his inability to take more work. His website presents a false impression that is capable of 21st basic com...puter skills by providing an email, client portal, and online messaging. Has has no idea how to use these, and does not know how to save a basic file or transmit any digital documents. He does not return calls, emails, or messages on his portal site, and I have found errors in his work. His disregard for ANY communication, let alone promptly, borders on unethical especially when time-sensitive legal or tax matters are at hand. He's a nice guy and works well with elder populations, but so is my dog and right now the canine is proving more competent than the attorney. If you want someone that works professionally and reliably before you die waiting by the phone, don't use Bruce Sawyer.

Mr. Sawyer was made executor ( due to estranged family relations) to my late husbands estate/will which Mr. Sawyer drew up. . A very simple estate plan and forthright will. I met with him the end of January 2014 to start proceedings. Starting leaving messages for him to call me back. It was Tax ...Season and as he is also a CP that was one of excuses for not returning my calls. I admonished him that it was very unprofessional of him not to return calls, he apologized. This was to no avail as he continued to not return calls, had to write letters or try to catch him at his office which was rare that he was there. Untruth about a court appearance for my husbands car which he left to me. The car has been sitting idle since this spring, battery dead. After leaving a message that I was going to report him to the RI Bar Association, he called me quite upset. He stated that his first priorities ( how he makes a living) is that he is a probate judge in Central Falls and works for three lawyers out of Providence, also does taxes. So I said it was obvious my husbands estate and will wishes were not a priority and that he never told us that. Misrepresenting himself. As of today I am still waiting for the correct documents from Mr. Sawyer required by the RI Division of Motor Vehicles/Title Dept so I can transfer the title. This information plus a letter was sent to Mr. Sawyer by me. The message itemized all required documents was left of Dec. 8,2014 and the letter sent Dec. 20, 2014. Still NOTHING!!
