LaShawn

After contacting Mr. Borest to represent my sister (who is mentally challenged) with her charges. I instantly gained a sense of peace, I felt a layer of protection, and a solid sense of faith on her behalf. Mr. Borest rapid response and willingness to help argue the charges, see her safe and she gets... necessary treatment really lighten our families potential heartache, sadness, and depression. It’s not easy, its on going but on that day we couldn’t have prayed for better counsel. Not only did he get her released he also fought that she gets her necessary medical care Not just roam free and potentially find trouble. There is no doubt with the Borest Team! I want to give earnest thanks to Mr. Borest and his Law firm; from the deepest recesses of my heart and the epicenter of my soul for all you have done and will do for other people.

$1,000,000.00 Settlement!

When other lawyers told me I didn’t have a good case, I went to see The Boerst Law Office, Inc. Bruce Boerst fought hard for me and my family. Bruce and his team were able to force the insurance company to pay us $1,000,000.00! While it was a fantastic outcome, it was never about the money fo...r my lawyers at The Boerst Law Office. Instead, the case was always about my family and I will forever be grateful for that. I cannot adequately explain how wonderful The Boerst Law Office is. We adore Bruce and his team so much that they were invited to our child’s birthday party…and Attorney Bruce showed up! What a class act!

Delivered the best outcome that one could have hoped for!

Recently I got into trouble with the police and received three charges (some of them are pretty serious!) Attorney Boerst was highly recommended by one of my colleagues. We went to a pretrial today (not even a trial) and Attorney Boerst was able to convince the judge to dismiss all three charges! The... judge did not even give me a fine or anything!! This is the best outcome I could have ever hoped for. In exchange, I just agreed to plea a minor misdemeanor, which is less serious than a speeding ticket! Furthermore, this minor misdemeanor may be permanently sealed from my record after 1 year and Attorney Boerst has generously agreed to help me to do so! Such a wonderful and pleasant experience working with Attorney Boerst!

Highly Recommend!

We were extremely pleased with the the personal attention we were given by Bruce. He was very thorough and at the same time kind and considerate. He helped us navigate a very stressful situation. He kept in contact with us throughout which lessened the stress.

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.
