This review is from a person who hired this 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 c...ompany in a very professional, yet aggressive manner. The result was a very good settlement. I would recommend Bruce to others.

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.
