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 the...se lawyers

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.
