assault case

Recently, I was accused of assault and was served a summons to appear in court to defend myself. The charge was “Second Degree Assault.” I had no idea what to do or how to proceed. I set up an appointment with Howard Brucker; and he set my mind at ease. Mr. Brucker handled every aspect of the cas...e. He interviewed witnesses and handled everything with the court. He appeared in court with me; and the judge threw out the case. Mr. Brucker also saw to it that the entire record was expunged. I would recommend Mr. Brucker to anyone needing competent legal representation.

Review of Howard Brucker, Attorney

I retained Howard Brucker for my divorce. I was impressed by his knowledge of all the laws and ins and outs of the whole process. He always called with any updates and always picked up the phone when I called him. I would recommend him to anyone.

A MILITARY SPOUSE

Acquiring Howard Brucker and having him to fight for your rights will put you mind at ease. I retained Howard Brucker for a very Nasty Custody Divorce matter. My ex-husband's wrongful attempt to blind-side me with a custody filing was stopped by Howard's expertise of the law and the court system.... I was impressed by his professionalism. He is an EXPERT ATTORNEY. He kept me informed with every detail as my very nasty custody and divorce case progressed. Although I had moved from Maryland back to Texas, Howard was always available for my phone calls. I would recommend his legal services. His retainer is fair. I wish I could have paid him more for winning my case. As a matter a fact I offered him more, but He refused. My case required 3 attorney's before my divorce was settled. Howard was by FAR THE VERY BEST.

Awesome Advice, Awesome service

I got charged with a DWI recently, I hired a public defender and got screwed tremendously. They gave me 2 yrs of probation, and 30 days. I hired Mr Brucker a week aftermy sentence. In that week, he advised me nor did he beat around the bush with me about my chances. We consulted a couple times afte...rwards. Went to court the following month, and before my case was called he told me my options. After talking with the DA they agreed to throw my case away, throwing away the rest of my sentence, and my probation. Would totally recommend his services to everyone in need of an attorney.

Howard Brucker review...

Mr. Brucker has exceeded every expectation that I had for him. The results of my retaining his services were better than I ever could have dreamed of. His knowledge of the court room, his presence, and his familiarity with those involved with the local legal process gave us every edge that we neede...d. I would definitely recommend using Howard for your legal issues!!! Thanks again, sir...

"I endorse this lawyer. Howard is a competent and knowledgeable attorney. I first met Howard while he was clerking for the Office of the State's Attorney for Cecil County. His legal research ability was an invaluable resource for the attorney's in the office. After his clerkship he transitioned into private practice. I noticed that he has the same, if not more, passion as a defense attorney as when he was with the State."
