Harvey Bruce Bruner

Harvey is a liar he told my son he knew he was innocent. He told my son the judge knew he was innocent, that if he took a plea deal he would get probation and we could fight to clear his name after the case was over. My son is in prison on a 7yrs prison sentence. Harvey hid information that would hav...e cleared my son, that our private investigator located in my son's file in Harvey's office .. He railroaded my son. He was working with the system to lock him up. To close a case. On the day of the set trial, Harvey Told my son you are a black man they're to find you guilty just because you are black. My son wanted to go to trial. He fired Harvey Hired a new attorney who file a motion to vacate his plea, but Harvey and the judge were friends. He told us he was BEST friends with the Judges Dad. So instead of probation my son was sentenced to 7yrs. My son was 29 at the time, had no criminal record, was working fulltime and in college fulltime. Never been in any trouble. Now no one seems to be able to or want to help him since he'd taken a plea. Now here we are 5 yrs later still trying to get help for him.

I hired Harvey for my first and only brush with the law. I had one charge originally without any prior record. Harvey said I had no choice but to plead guilty. There was no negotiating. I plead guilty to the same original charge. During my imprisonment, I had multiple corrections officers tell me my ...attorney was obviously involved in some corruption with the judge/prosecutor. They took a look at my case and said it was crazy I ever had to do prison time. Harvey never seemed to care. He literally showed up at my hearing, then again at my sentencing, never contacting me outside of our dates in court. He does not care, just wants your money. Consider this your warning - do not hire him! Side note - I will say John M. that works for him does seem to care. He should do himself a favor and find a job working with another attorney.

Harvey was hired to defend us in a civil case, told us to use all our money to save our home. We had a good case and was ready to go to trial, he totally blew us off, did not show up for hearings, I found out he dropped the case by reading the court dockets online, he did not even have the profession...alism to contact us himself. We lost our home, savings and retirement money because of his negligence. Do not hire him, he only cares about himself.

Represented me in domestic violence case of which I didn't do.. Told me that even though I was if I went to trial I'd lose and get maxed out on sentencing.. Guaranteed me if I took a plea deal that id get probation.. Took it because this terrible person scared me... Got maxed out.. Do not trust this... guy. Incompetent liar.
