Monroe County Traffic Lawyer

I hired Mr Brucefor a monroe county traffic ticket; I was pulled over on 75 going towards Ohio. He was very knowledgable about the process and resolved my matter without me having to apper in Court. His staff kept me informed throughout my case.

Great Monroe County Divorce Lawyer

Hired Ronald Bruce for my divorce case. Was very happy with his representation. His office kept me informed of all the important events. He got me exactly what I was hoping for regarding child custody. If you want a great lawyer in Monroe Michigan I recommend the Bruce Law Firm.

No communication

Had a free consultation on Tuesday, 6/4. He was engaging, positive, and gave me hope about a parental alienation issue I have had for several years. I had a hearing coming up on 7/10 and really needed this representation. I asked about the cost and he assured me that we could work out a monthly payme...nt plan and what I would need to put down. He told me to wait for the contract before I gave him the down payment and said he would email me a contract by that Friday. Got nothing. Emailed several times the next week and called a couple times. No response. Talked with the secretary and she said I could make a payment but had no response to the lack of a contract. Emailed a couple more times and left a voicemail. No response. Called on the 24th of June and left another voicemail. No response. Thanks for nothing. Will find another attorney that will be a little more caring. No communication.

Great divorce skills

I really appreciated the work Ron Bruce did on my case. He was very willing to answer my hundreds of questions. The whole process was very quick and my court hearing went very smooth. I highly recommend Mr. Bruce for family law cases.

Very defensive and bad in communication

At first i was very comfortable with him, he even considered give me a discount, but when i received his paperwork to hire him i noticed the amounts were different then discussed ( make sure you get a email with the price agreed, that would be your proof), I communicated with him about the amount and... he got very defensive and just wanted to walk away, i had many questions but he seemed to have issues in responding, also when i questioned a old review about him not being responsive he again was very defensive and said i should find someone else. I don’t recommend him for my own experiences but im sure different ppl have different feelings about him.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I am sorry that the almost hour long free phone consultation of your case didn't meet with your satisfaction. I also appologize that my replies to your numerous emails after normal business hours and on the weekend were not timely enough for you. Mind you all of this was before you retained my firm. Anyway, good luck with your case and have a great day.
