Bruce is my lawyer. I referred him to my friends son who needed guidance on 2 R/O's and an A/B. Bruce cared enough to find out what the actual situation was and not just what the report said. All 3 cases were dismissed and no plea was taken because he painted the true picture.

We contacted, consulted with, and hired Bruce for our legal needs. Not having been in this situation before and unsure what to do next Bruce was there to guide us through the process. I would highly recommend him to everyone! He genuinely cares about his clients and their outcome! He needs to be on every commercial and billboard in this area.

If your looking for a professional lawyer, look no further than Bruce Leach. His professionalism and knowledge are unmatched. Bruce helped me get my case dismissed and took the time to listen to all my concerns and always put me first. Bruce is very dedicated to his job and will not stop until he gets the results his clients are looking for. I would recommend Bruce to any family, friends or anybody looking for help, he is top notch in my book.

Best attorney this side of the Mississippi
Bruce Leach is an amazing attorney! I was approved for a loan for my business. I'm just an average guy and wasn't comfortable agreeing to the terms without understanding them fully. Bruce reviewed the documents with his legal eye for any red flags and explained the terms in "regular guy" speak so I fully understood what I signing before I moved forward in the process. A request so small might not be worth the time for some lawyers out there but he gladly took on my request and gave me the confidence to make the right decision. From now on any time I need legal advice or representation Bruce Leach will be the first call I make

Helpful and informative!!
If I were to rate Bruce’s legal expertise on a scale of 10, I would give him a 10/10. In my case, I was being charged for a misdemeanor for not having a license plate on the vehicle, due to the Secretary of State’s office only allowing appointments months in advance. I was apprehensive at first of using a lawyer from a different county, however, after the first phone call with Bruce, I felt reassured and confident in his knowledge and abilities in legal defense. On the day of my court hearing, I was proven right. Bruce took full defense and explained the nature of the misdemeanor and it was thrown out. I highly recommend Bruce as a criminal defense attorney!

Highly Recommend Bruce
Bruce has handled a couple cases for me before, and this one was no different. I got him the court documentation and he took over from there. This case was just like the others, he takes all of your worries away and gets the job done. He not only got my PPO approved, but he got the judge to speak out against the defendant in open court.

Bruce was referred to me by a friend who highly recommended him based on his work for him. I hired him twice in the last 2 years. He's been very successful in getting positive outcomes. Bruce is fair, available and dependable. I've hired him for a third time and couldn't be more satisfied.

"I highly endorse Bruce Leach. Bruce Leach is an incredible lawyer and a great person as well. Bruce recently helped a family member of mine with some complicated matters relating to medical marijuana law, and I am convinced there is no lawyer that knows this area of practice better. As a lawyer myself, it is hard to choose the right lawyer when facing a legal issue. I can say without a doubt Bruce is the best. I will not hesitate to send future clients his way. He works hard and tirelessly for his clients and he gets incredible results. Now that I have personally worked with Bruce when someone in my own family needed help, I also know without a doubt that he is simply the best."
