A Stand Up Guy...

Thank you Mr. Harvey for helping me clear up my legal misunderstandings. May God continue to Bless you and your family. I look forward to working with you.

Amazing counsel

My legal issues seemed to drag on forever... That is until I hired Bruce. He is very genuine and hardworking. My life is now mine to lead free from the oppressive posturing of the local prosecutors office. The immunity given to our prosecutors and judges must be reviewed because malicious prosecution... and falsifying evidence is real!

Excellent/Caring/Knowledgeable Lawyer and Law Firm

I have known and used Mr. Harvey and his firm for over 6 years. Everyone in his firm is very caring and knowledgeable. Mr. Harvey is an expert in the law and will use every available avenue in the law to fight for his clients. He does not give up. Everytime you think you have lost, Bruce finds an...other law on the books to fight for you. He hardly ever asks about money; he allows you to pay as you can and he does not allow money to control how he treats you or handles your case. Your justice is his main concern.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
