This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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 upda...ted 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.

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 per...son 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 wh...at was going on. I would reccomend Gary Bruce to anyone.

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.
