Responsive, accurate, clear and compassionate
When I hired David Bruno, he came into a case where the prior attorney’s actions were different from those he would have taken. He was honest about that up front but was still willing to help me with whatever he could, based on my situation at that time. I found him to be extremely responsive, ...

Top Notch!
I was referred to their firm by a friend. From the minute I walked in Dave and his staff made me feel at ease. He reviewed my case and once I hired him he immediately went to work! The communication from Dave and his staff was constant, keeping me updated on what was going on. Not once did he or his ...
David J Bruno's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Dave was one of my assistant prosecutors, when I was the Morris County Prosecutor. He is an excellent trial attorney. He is very seasoned, is bright, good on the law, and great on his "feet." When I decided to try a homicide case when I was Prosecutor, I had the pick of any attorney in the office to "second seat" me. I chose Dave, as I really needed a very skilled attorney to help me on the case. He handles witnesses well, is always prepared, and is great with his delivery to a jury. This too may explain my confidence in him, as I thereafter asked Dave to be my partner when I rejoined the joy of private practice."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known David Bruno ia professional and personal capacity for a number of years. I first met him as a prosecutor in the Morris Co. prosecutor's office where we had a number of cases together as adversaries in the criminal justice system. I have always found David to be a professional, and incredibly well prepared adversary. His knowledge of the law, and abilty to advocate is exceptional. I am certain he brings those same qualities to representing defendants who need representation in the most dire of circumstances.....I would recommmend him highly and without reservation."
"David is an excellent attorney. We have been opposing counsel on a number of cases. David is knowledgeable, aggressive and very professional. I give him my highest recommendation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Bruno as a dedicated and competent trial lawyer. I have worked on cases with Mr. Bruno and am consistently impressed with his ability to think outside the box and advocate for his clients."
"David and I worked together as prosecutors at the Morris County Prosecutor's Office under his now-partner, Bob Bianchi. In fact, we tried an attempted homicide case together and routinely worked together on the investigation-side of major crimes. I highly recommend Dave for his expertise as a criminal defense attorney."
"Dave is a former county prosecutor in Morris with the major crimes unit. My firm routinely contacts him regarding any homicide cases we handle as his expertise in these areas is top notch. He is a great lawyer."
"I have had the opportunity to handle cases against David when he was an assistant prosecutor. He is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney. I endorse this attorney for both his work and professionalism."
