Great outcome to a difficult situation

My case, like many I suppose, was challenging. Sam did a great job representing me, working with the other attorneys, and challenging the mediators to build a settlement that was acceptable for me. More importantly Sam crafted a settlement that maximized the time that my children and I could spend ...together. Sam brings a deep and robust business experience to his relationships. This business experience helps him calmly and professionally negotiate for a reasonable settlement that takes into account the interests of both parties. Should I need legal representation again Sam will be my first choice.

Absolutely the best family attorney in Town!!

Mr. Sam Bruner is an amazing family attorney. He is patient, caring, compassionate, and extremely competent. He knows all the intricacies and complexities of Family Law and performs at the highest level in court. I found Mr. Bruner on the internet after seeing all the positive reviews online. When I... called him on his cell phone on a Sunday, I had just been served a TPO/restraining order, I was forced to leave my house, I was not allowed to see my children, and I felt alone and completely lost. After giving Mr. Bruner a quick summary of my legal issues over the phone, he completely understood what was happening and he told me that he could help me. I felt such an amazing relief after talking to him, and I knew I had found the right person to represent me. We met at his office in Buckhead and worked on a response to the TPO. He prepped me very well and I felt confident appearing in court. He is always very quick at returning emails or phone calls, and you can really tell that he sincerely cares for his clients. I also understand that in certain situations, he is willing to drive to a client's home if they cannot make it to his office. In court, he fought for me 120% and I could tell that he was extremely knowledgeable and organized but also very calm and collected. I was so pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the trial. Not only was he able to get my children back through visitations that had been previously taken away from me, but he was also able to get the judge to dismiss the TPO and the family violence class, which I understand is extremely difficult to do. I see him as my life savior. He is truly the best family attorney that I know. I have no regrets working with him, and I would absolutely recommend him to anybody who has family legal issues.

A professional, compassionate, and hardworking lawyer that will fight for you. A true lawyer for the people.

I was going through a long process of trying to obtain child support for my three children. As a single mother, working and trying to take care of my kids I needed a good lawyer that would help my through my already desperate situation. Mr. Bruner was that lawyer. He was a God send. His compassion..., knowledge of the law, and professionalism brought a speedy end to my legal dilemmas and a wonderful outcome for my children. I could not have been more pleased. I remember a time during the court process that I became so weary, and he said "everything was going to be okay." I knew then that I didn't have an ordinary lawyer but one who would fight for me even when it seemed I had no fight left. To me and my children...he is our hero. After trying to live off one income with three children I now went home with more peace and thankfulness knowing that my children were going to be taken of. Thank you Bruner and Associates!

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.

Reasonable, Realistic, Professional and Personable

Mr. Bruner has a good handle on how the legal system works and how it affects the general population. By his life experiences, he has broad views that lend well to giving legal advice about family issues. With that said, it was fairly easy to trust this man with our personal dilemmas. Mr. Bruner ...is a man of conscious and caring who I believe is striving to help people have more peace of mind and quality in their lives. He was more than willing to listen to us and take into careful consideration how all our decisions would affect our lives. He also made a conscious effort to streamline our meetings and not play into the overly litigious nature of some aspects of court proceeding. Mr. Bruner is obviously an intelligent well rounded individual and I feel it helps when an attorney has some depth of character. After being in my own business for several years, I have met attorneys who have no ethics. That is not Mr. Bruner, he is not out to deposit your check and disappear. It is also fortunate that Mr. Bruner is located centrally in Buckhead. We are North of the perimeter, so it is nice not having to go downtown to get a quality representative. And that also makes it easier for Mr. Bruner to practice law in several metro Atlanta counties. He is very good at returning calls.
