I had the pleasure of working with William Bruin over twenty years. William is exceptionally strong in detail which has been a benefit to our company on more than one occasion. William also has a very calm demeanor that give me comfort when talking to him. William strong sense of organization helped me to always gain the upper-hand in court and win a large majority of my cases. William is a talented attorney who cares a great deal about his clients and his firm.
