Kristen Cambel is a great attorney

When I got in my 3 car pile up accident on the last day of last yr she's been very helpful and always stayed communicating with me. Either if it's was Gmail or phone she was there every step of the way and as her client I really do appreciate the time and effort she took out every day to keep me updated on everything I needed to know. She was very respectful when it came to privacy and asking for Permission and that's called great professionalism and I want to thank you Kristen Campbell for being just that all and above.i would recommend her as a attorney and Gary Bruce to anyone who needs great service from the start to the end.

Amazing throughout the whole process. Everyone continued to check in, explain things, give guidance, and support me throughout the time my case was being taken care of.

Great law firm!

The law offices of Gary Bruce did an awesome job handling my injury case. Scarlet and Brandon made sure to check in with me to see how I was doing and to let me know the status of the case. They were always open to answer any questions or concerns I had. I would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future if needed. Thank you again for assisting me!!!

Gary Bruce team was percise and understood my needs.

After my car accident I went to Gary Bruce and his team. They went to work on my case and didnt give me the run around about what they were doing . i was well informed about each step. Finally Mr. Bruce and associates faught for what was fair to my settlement. I had the pleasure of meeting him in person on my last visit to his office and I have to say Mr Bruce greeted me as if I knew him on a daily basis, that meant a lot, it meant I wasnt just a number no matter how small my case was he wanted to help a common down to earth person like me. Thanks again Felicia Neely

Car accident

I contacted Gary Bruce office. This was the second time I had used him for a personal injury claim involving a car accident. Everyone I spoke to in the office and involved in my case was very pleasant and helpful. They kept in touch with me periodically throughout the case to keep me updated as to what was going on. I would reccomend Gary Bruce to anyone.

Very highly recommended

I have been in two really bad car accidents that has required two surgeries and am now facing another due to rear ended at high speeds. If not for the law office of Gary Bruce I know I would never have received any compensation. On my last case Mitch Ladson and paralegal Kimberly worked tirelessly fighting insurance and hospitals to get some compensation that I’m sure I would not have gotten if not for them. If anyone needs a champion in your corner I highly recommend the law office of Gary Bruce.

Highly recommend

A friend of mine suggested I call Mr Bruce when I was hurt in a car accident. I felt better after the first meeting and through out the case. A lawsuit was filed for my case but it was settled before the trial for a very fair amount. I am glad that I had Gary representing our family I recommend these lawyers

Great Experience! Helpful staff!

I came to Gary Bruce after a terrible car wreck where I injured my neck. My case was handled professionally and the staff at his office are very friendly and helpful. The made sure my bills and liens were paid and I even had some money for myself.

Gary Bruce

Helpful and insightful. Returned my phone calls. He was great in deposition when the other lawyers tried to bully and confuse me. He didn't let the other lawyer intimidate me in the deposition. Seemed to really care about my case and my family's situation.
