Simply the best!

Bruce has been my attorney since the 80's and has represented me fairly, with skill, knowledge and venom when needed. He will go above and beyond to take care of his clients. I would trust my children and grandchildren's lives with this man.

He cannot get a cased disposed of that has no bearings on reali

My neice has had this attorney and this attorney fails in all aspects of his client. He does not inform his client nor does he show up for the court dates on her behalf. Appears he and the judge may be in bed together. This case is so ridiculous and should have been thrown out long ago. He is all...owing a family to keep my nephew and we have video of the woman keeping him's husband beating another child. Where is the justice in this? Where are you Bruce Neil Smith? Can you do what you were paid to do?

Useless

I used him and he gave me up to the prosecution so that he could be looked at favorably by the AUSA for his own federal criminal investigation, which he received 5 years probation, of which he never told me he was under investigation.

Awful.

No one could be worse than this attorney, except maybe his partner. I was lied to, kept waiting and pretty much screwed by this firm. Trust someone else with your money and your life.
