Bruce Coane is an employment law expert

Bruce represented me in mediation with my employer. At each stage, he would tell me "They will probably say xxx" or "They will say yyy or zzz". Then we'd make a plan to respond. In every step, he nailed it! I felt at ease with him and his expertise, not only at mediation, but during the entire ti...me I obtained him to counsel me. I'd highly recommend him for help with a work issue requiring legal advice. Additionally, I worked with Matt Swiger, to complete forms and prepare for mediation. He was professional and knowledgeable.
