Highly competent and professional service and excellent supportive manner

Sam was extremely helpful to me in my divorce from the word go. He listened carefully to all the details and then gave me a frank and realistic assessment of the likely outcome of my case, should it go to trial. This gave me a clear idea of what to aim for in terms of settlement, enabling us to conte...st vigorously any unrealistic suggestions from the opposing party while being ready to accept what would clearly be a win. Importantly, in this very emotional time he helped to guide me how to manage the irrational objections of my ex-spouse and move things forward positively while protecting her feelings. He has a thorough knowledge of all the procedures and documentation and was willing to help me understand confusing matters any day of the week, any time of day. His fee schedule was fair and transparent with regular updates on cost and no surprises. I thoroughly recommend Sam.

Dependable & empathetic attorney

Attorney Bruner was very patient when I called him with my situation. I was in tears while asking for help to escape/divorce a man that was not only verbally & physically abusing me, but threatening to kill me. He listened patiently & met with me ASAP to proceed, as we were soon to find out that th...e man I married was also a malignant narcissist & con artist. He has experience with these situations & worse & makes a point of understandinging while helping you to help yourself. I highly recommend Attorney Bruner, especially if you are truly the honest & truthful person in the situation know matter which side you represent. The truth is very important to him in any case & he makes that very obvious.

A great lawyer !

Attorney Bruner filed a motion to change my custody agreement. He was very helpful in determining what was realistic. He talked to me like a person and really helped me understand the process. The outcome what better than I expected. I wish he had represented me in the divorce !

Fierce Advocacy Squarely Rooted in Skill

To be frank, I did not think that people like Sam Bruner still existed. When we think of the people who protect our families from harm, we tend to think of occupations like firefighting and nursing. , Sam Bruner resurrected my respect and awe for what the law was meant to be, at a time when the lega...l profession is devoid of ideals. Sam became a lawyer later life, and therefore has the passion of a young lawyer without the starry-eyed idealism, and the wisdom of an older lawyer without the burnout. Sam is whip-smart, deeply sensitive, but is no-nonsense when it comes to what needs to be done. Sam also possesses an impression network of veteran lawyers with varying expertise he calls upon in the legal community. Even lawyers who were listed as sensitive to the LGBT community, did not express interest or optimism in "the case" because it involved the dissolution of same-sex marriages not legally protected in the state of Georgia. My young daughter is in and out of the hospital, and Sam immediately focused on the difficulties my little girl stood to face without proper protection, rather than focusing on the complexities he might encounter in navigating in this murkier arena of family law. Sam and I have shared many cups of coffee at my kitchen table the 6 months he's represented me, and he has been consistently compassionate, while educating me on the surprising subtleties of law, My entire family has gotten to know Sam, and he has uplifted us all. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Sam, is that he cares about the truth. He came to my daughter's birthday party to be se sure that he was representing someone who was honorable as a parent. It feels great to have someone who is so knowledgeable, and kind in our corner. If you need an effective lawyer who has an extraordinary mind and a kind heart, Sam Bruner is the person you want representing you. His work ethic is unsurpassed, and you will not find a more dedicated person, who is warm, professional, and caring to kids and to animals.
