Would not hire

He was my lawyer on offenses that I did not commit. The best he could do was a plea bargain or plead insanity.

Great, knowledgeable lawyer.

It helped having a lawyer that was very knowledgeable. This makes yourself feel much more reassured with the outcome of your case. Mr. Bruns is also a very quick responder when it comes to email. I always got responses the same day I sent the email, if not the same day, the very next day.

Ted Bruns is an exceptional attorney to whom I owe my life and freedom!

I was falsely accused of extremely serious criminal offenses for which I was interrogated, charged, arrested, jailed, tried (jury trial), and eventually acquitted. I was initially charged with 4 felonies that grew to 6 felonies after having been indicted before a grand jury. I was facing the possib...ility of life in prison for things I didn't do and Mr. Bruns believed in my innocence and fought extremely hard for the truth from day one. From that first phone call I made to him in a completely terrified condition through all the court hearings and procedures all the way up to the day I walked out of that courtroom having been rightfully acquitted, Mr. Bruns brilliantly and passionately represented and defended me. Mr. Bruns also represented me at my expungement hearing which was granted by the judge and subsequently completed. Not only is Mr. Bruns an extremely skilled attorney, I observed through several court appearances and hearings that he is very highly regarded and respected in and out of the courtroom. Mr. Bruns' exceptional skill, along with our faith, got us through the most difficult situation of our lives and I owe my freedom to him. I just can't imagine any other attorney having done as well as Mr. Bruns. Thank you, Ted, for everything you did for me and my family!!! I will always be grateful!!

Excellent Legal Service w/ Compassion

Ted recently assisted my family with our legal case in 2017. My mother and mother-in-law described him as such a gentleman....as my lawyer he was an also very knowledgeable in his trade, compassionate, patient and an excellent listener. His personal and professional demeanor left my family and I con...fident that we had selected the right person to represent us! It was clear why he is respected by many in the legal community during our court appearances.He was able to communicate with my family members in multiple states and ensure that my daughter received medical treatment during my short time in jail. I appreciated his frankness, assessment, and ability to get to the facts. It was easy to forget that he was my lawyer and not someone I had known for years! I would recommend him to all...thanks to him, I am home with my family.
