Speeding Ticket, 11 pts reduced

I can’t thank Glenn enough for his incredible work in handling my recent case. I was facing a serious situation with a 43 mph over the speed limit charge and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. From the very start, they were professional, clear, and thorough in explaining my options. They took... the time to understand my side of the story, and I could tell he was genuinely dedicated to helping me. Thanks to their expertise and negotiation skills, they were able to get the charges reduced to 0 point and a parking violation and I didn’t face any severe consequences.

Fantastic Lawyer!

I can't say enough great things about Glenn Bruno and his firm. I am not from the area and was so hesitant choosing a lawyer based on reviews, but I am so glad I did. His office explained all procedures to me and walked me through the whole process. They made it very easy to follow directions and e...ased my mind. I was a complete nervous wreck because I had never received a speeding tkt before. He reduced a speeding ticket of 88 and 6 pts to a charge of parked within 15 ft of a hydrant. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who asked!

Traffic Ticket Representation

Let me tell you. This is only review you need to read. Last speeding ticket was 2006. Moon was aligned against me and for some crazy reason I received 3 speeding tickets in 4 months. Hard working father, 2 teenagers in college, a house etc. My back was against the wall and I was facing 18 points on m...y license and a definite suspension. I had friends recommend a few lawyers but read Glenn's reviews and thought, " this is the guy for me". Man, did I make the correct decision. He called me within minutes and told me he was concerned but would do the best he could. His office ( Debbie and Justin) always answered my questions promptly when I sent a question. If you remember, I said 18 points. My cases are done, all done and I am thankful. I am leaving a terrible situation with only 4 points on my license. I urge you to look no further as you will not be better represented anywhere else.

Magician in disguise

Mr Bruno is no lawyer . He's a magician. I had a 4 tickets worth 20 points in one incident. Ya, I got the best deal for thanksgiving. I was scared and called Mr Bruno at 2:00 am. Though I woke him up at a bad time, he talked to me like a close friend. On the court day, Mr Bruno walks into the court..., out in few mins, turns 20 points into 2. You heard me right. 2 points. And a fraction of the original fine. I would highly highly recommend Mr Bruno not only because he's a great lawyer and the greatest magician, he was like a family to me through out the process, standing by my side all the time. Thank you Mr Bruno.

Exceptional lawyer

I received a speeding ticket on the highway and called half a dozen lawyers to find the best one in the area. Of all the ones with whom I spoke, Glenn appeared by far the most knowledgeable, realistic, caring, and competent. I wasn't sure whether I was going to hire a lawyer because it's expensive, b...ut after having spoken with him, I decided to do so. His rates were no higher than the others, but he really stood out. Fortunately, my whole experience emulated our initial call. He was exceptional through the process, and it turned out as he had forecasted in his "best case scenario." He was very cautious to initially not tell me to expect this scenario. He could have placed more emphasis in predicting this outcome, so as to gain my business, but he did not. He wanted me to have an accurate expectation of what may occur. As it turned out, his relationships with all the parties involved, and his decision on how to approach my case, led to a reduction to a zero point parking ticket, with a $150 fine - whereas he had told me in our initial call that I should be prepared for a different type of parking ticket which is a $400 fine, but also with no points. Long story short, I emphatically recommend Glenn Bruno.
