| Hired Attorney
Bruce will fight for your rights!
Bruce is a brilliant attorney who is a fierce fighter for justice. Bruce fought for my rights, that were violated by an employer that I worked hard for. I will forever be grateful! Thank you Bruce!!!

Professional and effective
At the recommendation of my financial advisor, I engaged Bruce to negotiate with the company I was being separated from after 18 years. Bruce listened carefully to the situation, and expressed an excellent balance of empathy and pragmatism, very business-like. He handled all negotiations with the company in a very professional, yet aggressive manner. The result was a very good settlement. I would recommend Bruce to others.
