"Bruce is a very talented attorney; I got to see this first hand while I clerked for him when I was in law school. He is one of the first people I call when I need a fresh perspective on a case. Whether I have a case against him or we are on the same side (I have done both, but prefer the latter), I am continually amazed at his legal mind and tremendous character."
