David Temple, Insurance Attorney on Oct 28, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known and worked on a variety of cases with Bruce for 16 years, including mass tort litigation, environmental, insurance coverage and construction defects. He is always prepared, a true gentleman while advocating for his clients, and an excellent role model for all attorneys, young and old alike.
