Recent EEOC case

Mr. Coane and his team recently represented in an EEOC law suit against my former company. He and his team were very professional all the way to settlement. They explained everything and advised me throughout the process. I highly recommend Bruce and his team.

Excellent Attorney For Discrimination Cases

Mr. Bruce handled my employment discrimination case and I'm proudly say that he was fantastic. He filled me in on everything that's going on in my case from start to finish. He explained everything to me in a clear manner so I can understand and he lets me know what to expect from my case before he d...id anything. He fought for me and really believed in me. My case was settled and he got me the highest pay possible. I was really impressed and very satisfied with his service and I would highly recommend him.

Excellent attorney with my highest recommendations

After searching for attorneys in many different places, which include the bar association and internet sites, I came across Mr. Bruce Coane's profile and professional history. After reading all the client's comments and performance reviews, I decided to contact him for a consultation on a pending la...bor discrimination case that I had. He was very thourough with his questions and clear on the possibilities in regards to my case. He immediately put me at ease, was very professional and knowledgeable. During the development of my case, he was always encouraging without making false promises. In the end, he won my case in a shorter than expected amount of time. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with legal issues.

My HERO

Mr. Bruce Coane is an EXCELLENT ATTORNEY. Do not expect him to work for FREE for you, because HE is not a volunteer (although, he works as a VOLUNTEER too). He will charge you less, or lets say, the same as other layers. Do not expect him to do a MIRACLE for you, because he is not a SUPERMAN. But wha...tever he is capable of, he will do it for you to the best of his abilities as a layer. Do not look at his PERSONAL HISTORY before you look at yourself. I have my OWN HISTORY, and when other layers refused to take my discrimination case, Mr. Coane was there for me. How can I say more THANK YOU to someone who cares. But if you are on a wrong side, of course he will do his job, but you may not be SATISFIED.

Lifelong retainment

Needing , an attorney is NEVER a pleasant experience, but Bruce Coane made it not only easy but actually enjoyable! He was very professional and curtious. It was more than obvious he understood the law as well as his opponent. Needless to say we settled out of court with a quite hefty settlement in m...y favor! He showed me the utmost respect and we have since kept in contact. That was in 1992. It is my honor to reccomend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney in either Texas or Florida for discrimination, immigration, or any of his other specialties. You would never regret having him on your side!
