Bruce Whitney Sarbaugh

Bruce is a wonderful attorney. He treated me with much compassion and spent a lot of time understanding both the details of my case and the circumstances in my life that brought it about. Bruce researched the case law related to my case and clearly explained the statutes and their implications to me.... He made a strategic plan for negotiations and included me in the planning and brainstorming. He listened to my ideas and we talked through the approach together before he acted. At the conclusion of my case, Bruce spoke eloquently on my behalf to the Court in a manner that rang 100% true to my perspective and experience. I am very thankful that I had Bruce’s support through an unfortunate event in my life. If you are in need of a criminal defense attorney, give Bruce a call to discuss your case with him.

If you have been charged with a DUI, Bruce is the man. I mean, the MAN. I could not have asked for a more compassionate, professional, or exceptional trial attorney than Bruce. Bruce recently represented me in a DUI case where I was arrested in-front on my home. Police were initially called for a w...elfare check, questioned me and arrested me for DUI. Bruce first allowed me to walk him through the facts of the case, then reviewed footage from the officer's body cam, read the officer’s report, related my case to others he's handled, and finally laid out options for me. Going to trial is never a "sure thing," and he made no illusions to the contrary: he advised me of the offer from the District Attorney, it’s consequences, and never sugar-coated my chances at trial. He advised me, but the decision to take my case to trial was always in my hands. We elected to state my case before a jury. It was stressful. It was nerve-wracking. I don't ever want to repeat the process, but Bruce and I went over every contingency together in such a way before trial that he left me feeling confident and prepared to testify. Without going into the gory details, I can tell you, without reservation, that I cannot imagine another attorney doing for me what Bruce did. During trial he strikes an impressive balance between pleasantness and aggressiveness, guile and humility. It's shockingly effective. He knows just how far to push a witness and how to select and appeal to a jury. He displays incredible knowledge of the facts and pertinent law of the case. Bruce's representation gave me the confidence to stand trial before my peers, and I cannot overstate his skill. Bruce Sarbaugh was my strongest advocate in my hour of darkest need, and for his diligence, dedication and outstanding representation I am forever grateful.

Mr. Sarbaugh was highly recommended to me by a friend who had been in the same situation as I was. I am very grateful that I accepted that recommendation. Mr. Sarbaugh clearly has experience in dealing with DUI cases. His initial consultation (which was free) provided some piece of mind when it ...was in very short supply for me personally. Once I hired him, we got to work quickly. Mr. Sarbaugh had a plan - between starting alcohol classes right away, letters we had written to the judge, and him taking the time to have in-depth and effective conversations about our overall best strategy, I felt like I had some opportunity to impact the final result from the courts and that I had the best teammate possible in order to do that. Additionally, Mr. Sarbaugh's spoke with the DA before sentencing and was able to get the DA to recommend a lesser sentence than she ordinary does. All of the above allowed us to walk into the court room with a strong plan and walk out with a better result than expected. During this process I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of other people in the same situation and when they speak about their lawyers' approaches I am consistently grateful that I hired Bruce. Every one of these cases is different, and in addition to being intelligent, prepared, friendly, and sympathetic, he took the time to truly understand what made my case unique and what was most important to me throughout the process. Ultimately, I believe that the money I spent to hire Mr. Sarbaugh saved me money in the long-run and helped make this process much less painful than it could have been. If you have unfortunately found yourself in this situation, Mr. Sarbaugh is the person you should have in your corner.

From the beginning Bruce, was incredibly reassuring, compassionate, and determined to get my situation addressed with the best possible outcome. He always was reliable and eager to help, whether it was a simple or complicated question. He never failed to answer my call in time of need. He always did ...a great job of minimizing my anxieties. I had a very unique situation which was hard for anyone to grasp but he put his time and dedication into getting it figured out. My court date and the outcome went much better then anticipated. He truly got me the best possible outcome due to his hard work and knowledge of defense and dui cases. I would very much recommend Bruce to anyone in this situation or any other criminal troubles. He truly puts his whole heart into making sure that the defendant gets justice and is reassured that everything is okay throughout the whole very hard process.
