Same as for Personal Injury. Don't sign anything until you have had a chance to consult with an attorney. The insurance companies want to get you off their books for as little and as quickly as possible.

As a Chemist I created a product and got a company to fund it. I directed the production and financing of the project and when it was time sold what had become a prosperous division of the company. Executive Contracts are also an area I understand well.

Mediation 5%

Mediation is a very efficient means of solving an issue, both sides must be willing to learn to listen and adapt to the changing situation. Family Law is an ideal p[lace for this. Usually getting an agreement is a lot easier than people imagine. No it isn't easy, but getting to the core of each person's needs and concerns in a friendly setting is easier on each person than a court room where anything can happen. It can be a very effective tool and save people a lot of money.

Workers Compensation 5%

When you are hurt on the job do not let your employer get you to use your own resources to take care of your injury. They are responsible even if it was your mistake that caused the injury. Worker's compensation has several parts. First is getting medical care paid for and getting you paid while you are out of work. Then there is a possible payoff if there is a permanent injury. Than can include some allowance for other expenses.

Overall great experience through a horrible divorce

Attorney Gordon is an expert in the area of collaborative divorce. He is understanding and compassionate of the emotional, financial and parental issues that often accompany the divorce process, but maintains his professionalism. He effectively utilizes superior ancillary support professionals to obt...ain the best for his client. He is responsive to his client's needs and effectively negates unnecessary fears. He practices in the areas of mediated, collaborative, and litigated divorce, I think it allows him to think more creatively and propose solutions to conflicts that another attorney might not. Mr. Gordon legal support was top notch. He helped me through a difficult divorced. He was kind and informative and always available. I can't thank him enough for his support both legally and personally. He helped me stay calm through a very stressful experience. I would recommend him for any legal help you may need.

Saving The Day

My attorney, Bruce Gordon, took my case when my first lawyer failed to represent me in even the most basic way. After 17 months of absolutely no progress in my divorce, Attorney Gordon took the helm and began fixing all of the mistakes. He’s been very good with communication, and even support for wha...t I’m currently experiencing in my life. I can’t say enough positive things about his work and his work ethic. If I’d only have found his name at the beginning of my divorce, I’d already be in a much better place.

The BEST lawyer for family law cases!!!!

I hired Mr.Gordon to help me terminate my parental rights and he successfully did that! My ex-wife had taken the child away from me in 2013, and since then she was putting charges on me every time I inquired on the welfare of the child, I was paying a hefty child support of $1138.00 for one child (mo...re than the state's guidelines) and she managed in a shady way to remove me as a guardian, change the kid's last name but never notified me. What kind of a mother behaves in such a manner towards the father of her child? However, she continued wanting me to pay child support. She kept me away of the child since 2013. According to DCF, the ex-wife never told the kid who the father was! So I began contacting attorneys and ask for help but every attorney said that I MUST continue paying child support and just try to modify it. How fair is this when there in no ongoing relationship with the child because of the malicious interference of the mother? Then I looked at Avvo and found a reply of Mr.Gordon to another individual and so I decided to hire him. Mr. Gordon is very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, brilliant and caring attorney. He reviewed my case and saw a way out of this messy situation. He gathered all evidence,took the appropriate actions in a meticulous manner and we were successful. Of course the ex-wife put up a fight but Mr.Gordon argued my case in front of the judge successfully and the judge agreed with me, even when DCF was against it! A mutual agreement then was negotiated, thanks to Mr. Gordon. Only an experienced and brilliant attorney like Mr.Gordon could have succeeded in a termination of parental rights case!!! Even when the ex-wife and her lawyer tried to place obstacles to this agreement, Mr.Gordon's conscientious acts ensured my success. Thereupon, the ex-wife had to concede and agreed to sign the agreement to terminate my child support. Few days ago, the termination of parental rights was final and now I am free of all obligations! Mr.Gordon is an EXCELLENT, EXCEPTIONAL attorney! He and his staff are very friendly, we were always treated with respect and they were all very caring. Here is an advise to everyone who reads: If you need a phenomenal family lawyer who will fight for you, you must hire Mr.Gordon! He will surely go far and beyond to successfully represent you in court and ensure the best possible result for your case! I cannot thank Mr.Gordon enough for the outstanding job he did in my case!!!!

Thank you for your kind words. Your case was a very special one. There are laws out there that only apply in a few cases but when they do they are really important to understand. You had an egregious wrong put upon you. after all your tries to see yoru child and all the disappearances and other issues you mention, ther was no way for your to be the parent you wanted to be. Again thank you for letting me help.

Worth Every Penny

I saw the review claiming he is dingy and in a dark office and that must be a review of someone else. This attorney has a beautiful office and is very professional. All my questions were answered and more. When we went to court things went about the way he told us it would, except for a few curv...e balls thrown by the other side and Attorney Gordon handled those efficiently and effectively. Really check this guy out he and his staff really care and were great in their actions for us

Bruce was very kind to me considering the runaround my ex-huband gave us both. He was both kind a patient through the long year process it took. I live out of state and he was still willing to take my case. I couldn't have done it with out him. I thank him greatly.
