Bruce Allen Yerman

I have been in practice for over 50 years, and remain in active practice although I have given up handling criminal matters because of the time and effort that they usually require and the activity, dedication and emotional input (not to mention legwork) that must be given for each case. I recently had occasion to refer a matter to Mr. Yerman, calling him in the evening and getting his input and ideas concerning the matter. He immediately attended to the case, getting me all of the relevant information and the status of the proceeding (the client had recently been arrested and was in police custody)) within minutes, and advising me of his strategy to defend the matter. He also advised what the total cost would be to the client, and the probable outcome based on what I had informed him. All of this occurred well outside business hours. Mr. Yerman then went far beyond what was required, doing substantial work over the weekend, and successfully obtained the release of the client on a Saturday. I intend to use Mr. Yerman for all my future criminal matters, and to refer his services to my associates and colleagues. I feel confident that he work is up to the best, and that his fees are fair and reasonable. His skill, knowledge, experience and dedication is rare today in a world of rush, inattention and carelessness, and any client facing charges of wrongdoing would be well served to consider retaining him.

Bruce Yerman is very professional, competent and reliable. Mr. Yerman had my charges dismissed. He will fight for your rights and help you in your legal matters to achieve the best possible outcome. If you need a confident, reliable, honest and professional lawyer please call Mr. Yerman. I retained Mr. Yerman to defend me against Disorderly Conduct charges in New York City. I should not have been charged with Disorderly Conduct and the police were acting maliciously. Mr. Yerman was prepared to defend me in every possible way to ensure the furtherance of justice while working with me to understand other immigration implications. Receiving this charge as a tourist in New York it was very overwhelming to defend myself against the charge. I originally found a good review on Mr. Yerman so I decided to give him a call along with some other lawyers. He was the only lawyer that promptly returned my call (within 24 hours), all the other lawyers returned my calls a few days later and by then I returned to my home country. I spoke to Mr. Yerman further in detail again and received his legal advice. His legal counsel was honest and professional without any “salesman pitch” or even the slightest feeling that he was trying to grab me as a client. Further to that, and the American justice system being completely foreign to me, I spent approximately 2 months researching various lawyers and legalities. I could not meet any of these lawyers so I had to judge them based on telephone conversations and internet searches. After speaking to at least 20 lawyers, I found Mr. Yerman as the most sincere and honest. Some other lawyers I spoke to also seemed honest and competent but the reason I chose Mr. Yerman is because he returned my call while I was in New York, he understood what I was going through, and did not take advantage of my situation. He was also very knowledgeable and was adamant on my rights and defense; whereas, some other lawyers (and lawyer websites) were advising me that my only option was an ACD. I came to learn that many lawyers are quick to advise ACD as the only outcome. Apparently this is because it is quick money for them and they ignore other options for your defense. An ACD is not a terrible thing and many times if a lawyer can arrange that for you it is a great option; however, a sincere lawyer will explore all options with confidence before advising you that an ACD is your only option. I trusted and relied on Mr. Yerman to represent me through Power of Attorney and he appeared in court on my behalf as I do not live in New York City. It was daunting to not be present in court but Mr. Yerman made the process very comfortable. I can personally assure you that you are in good hands with Mr. Yerman; he is very competent and trustworthy.
