Real Estate Attorney

Bruce Bennett represented us on the sale of our home. He was informative, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions in a very timely manner. We were very pleased with the quality of services he provided and would highly recommend Bruce for your legal needs.

Business Planning and Succession

We contacted Bruce to help our insurance agency through a family succession plan and business buy out. With Bruce's sound advice he was able to take our complex situation and make the path very clear and equitable for both sides of the transaction. He reviewed all documents proposed and made suggest...ions in areas of concern. Bruce is a very trusted advisor in all legal aspects of our agency.

Seamless Closing

We hired Bruce as our real estate attorney for the sale of our home. He was quick to reply to our questions and concerns. He kept us informed at all times where we were in the process and our closing seemed simple and easy for us. We recommend Bruce to anyone who is selling or buying a home.

Great Lawyer!

Bruce is such a great Lawyer. He helped my but my first home. It was a very difficult and tedious transaction. He fought for my best interests with precision and tenacity. I would recommend him to anyone with ease, knowing they would receive the best representation. Bruce is all about principle, and ...what's fair. You feel prepared with him.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Bennett represented my family and he displayed not only expertise but compassion and understanding. He has helped us weather a horrible tragedy. It was a no win situation for our family but Bruce helped us get the best possible outcome. He was available when we needed him and if he wasn’t avai...lable he got back to us in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Bruce Bennett:

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.
