Couldn't have found a better lawyer for my needs

I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Mr. Glenn Bruno’s services to anyone considering hiring him. This is why: I got a speeding ticket while on vacation. After appealing my ticket, I needed to hire a lawyer to appear for me, since I am a college student and didn’t have the time to leave school and appear a...t a hearing. While shopping around for a lawyer, I called Mr. Bruno. The number I called went to his personal cell. He informed me that not only was he familiar with the prosecuting court, but he had also known the prosecutor for a while, and that the prosecutor did not give much lenience for my kind of speeding ticket. He said that he would try his best, but my trial may not turn out how I was hoping. I chose Mr. Bruno’s firm over others because of his honesty. Despite his realism when I spoke to him on the phone, the amount that I ended up spending on the reduced ticket and his services was similar to what I would have spent on the original ticket alone. It was definitely worth it, since I now have no points on my license and my insurance rates won’t go up. After hiring him, I never had to lift a finger; he handled my case himself and sent me the results of my hearing the day before my first final exam. What a relief that was! If you are considering him among other lawyers for your own legal situation, I would recommend calling Mr. Bruno. He is a straightforward man who doesn’t mince words, and his experience trumps all other lawyers in his area.

Effective, helpful, and personable

Mr. Bruno was able to obtain a very favorable outcome with my traffic case. He kept me updated on the proceedings, and always responded to my questions in a timely fashion. I recommend Mr. Bruno without reservation. I would not hesitate to use his services again, though I hope I won't need to!

Highly Recommended

Glenn R Bruno represented me as promised, for less expense than quoted. Kept me appraised of the progress of my case and always returned calls in less than 24 hours. In most cases I was able to speak to Glenn at the time of my initial call. A great experience.

No-nonsense, efficient and cost effective

There are so many ways one can go wrong when looking for an lawyer, so many wrong assumptions you can make! Getting a speed ticket on the south-bound Taconic Pkwy, I stared calling traffic lawyers in Hopewell Junction, hoping prices would be reasonable because of the proximity to the court. I found t...heir prices very high while they are trying to manage my expectations. Fortunately, I kept looking and from the first phone call, Glenn's courteous but no-nonsense approach put me at ease. He did not make promises he could not deliver, did not ask for an arm and a leg for his fees and did not try to scare me either by lowering my expectations. He always personally replied to my emails or phone calls and instructed his staff to do follow-up. He ended up getting me the best deal one could imagine (0 pt) along with a reasonable fine amount. It was money well spent and I hope that this review helps many other traffic offenders fellows.

Excellent: lawyer/service/results

We are so glad to have been referred to Mr. Glenn R. Bruno, attorney at law to represent us. He has been terrific in every aspect of handling our situation. A complete professional, he carefully explained what to expect, gave us options, was specific as to the time table anticipated, was always avail...able for every phone call (even those outside of usual business hours), achieved an outstanding result, and had much more reasonable fees than other lawyers. Hopefully we will not need any more legal services in the future, however, if we do find ourselves in need of legal representation for anything else, we would certainly call upon his services immediately.
