Bruce E Warner

I hired Bruce Warner for a child custody matter in August 2025 and it was the biggest mistake of my case. After paying a flat fee and waiting over 8 months, my case has moved nowhere. Despite providing specific leads on the other party’s location, his office failed to file a single proof of service a...ttempt or a 'Diligent Search' affidavit with the court.Communication is non-existent. I was constantly passed off to an assistant who provided legally incorrect excuses to justify their inaction. When I requested the name of the process server or a service log to prove work was actually being done, they refused to provide it.I later discovered he has a documented history of disciplinary actions with the Florida Bar for these exact issues—failing to file pleadings and ignoring clients. Do your research before hiring. I’ve had to terminate him, file a Bar complaint (ACAP), and start over from scratch. Save your money and your time—hire a lawyer who will actually work for your children."

I would not recommend attorney Bruce Warner based on my experience. After 4 days of hiring him, I decided he was not a good fit for me and ended the representation.He has claimed that a significant amount of work was completed during those 4 days. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I am still... waiting for a refund of any unused funds. I find it concerning that while the work was allegedly completed in such a short time, it is taking over 4 weeks to review the account and process my refund.In addition, there were delays in receiving necessary communication to change counsel, including being told for approximately 3 weeks that an email could not be located. I have made multiple attempts to follow up and resolve this directly, but the issue remains unresolved. Communication regarding this matter has been limited, which has been very frustrating. Clients deserve timely handling of their funds and clear communication. I hope this issue is addressed soon, but based on my experience so far, I cannot recommend this attorney.
