Expert Trial Attorney

I was in the worst kind of trouble possible. My very best friend and I are both veterans. I served in the Marines and he was an Army Ranger.  My friend asked me to hand him his gun which we both believed was not loaded. After I handed it to him it went off and killed him unexpectedly.  I was in shock... and did my best to recount the incident with the police. The State placed undue additional burdens on me in relation to the incident based upon my military background and charged me with manslaughter. If you find yourself in legal trouble, the best decision you can make is to hire Bruce Blumberg. Bruce is a fantastic attorney and expert in trial. He handles all aspects of your case so you can relax with no need to micromanage. You will feel like family with him representing you, he truly cares about his clients. I can attest to his abilities. He utilized experts to explore every avenue for my case and he did not feel in good conscious that I could take a plea based upon the facts of the incident and evidence so we went to trial.  He won an acquittal on my manslaughter case. There’s nobody I trust more in court than Bruce Blumberg. Please hire Bruce if you find yourself needing an expert attorney, you will not be disappointed.

Without a doubt, saved my best friend!

Without a doubt Bruce Blumberg with his knowledge and expertise, proved my friend's innocents beyond what anyone could imagine. My girlfriend was completely innocent of a crime she did not commit and for 6 years Bruce stood by her with complete confidence and supported her through the hardest time o...f her life. I became very close to Bruce as well as he was able to assist me in understanding what was going on as my girlfriends second language was English and sometime language became a barrier. Bruce is truly a gift and I would highly recommend him to absolutely anyone. Since the trial has ended and I have returned to Canada, I have told everyone how remarkable this man is and I wish that we had more lawyers like this in our country that fought for the justice of the innocent. Thanks again Bruce for supporting my friend and standing beside her all the way. I look forward to watching her find herself again and begin to live.

Gods gift sent

I owe this man so much. My current freedom, my peace of mind and my children lives. If it wasn't for this man I wouldn't be here today, taking care of my 4 children. We are still waiting for the trial but the fact that I am not waiting for it from a cell, I couldn't be more grateful. If it wasn't for... this man I would have probably lost or taken my life. He has been an angel all through out these years that we are constantly fighting a sick and broken system. If you love your life and cherish your time with your loved ones , don't go around trying to find the perfect " salesman " because you will get what you paid for. No one can compete with Bruce Blumberg and his experience and knowledge. I cant recommend him enough and couldn't be more grateful he was recommended to me. I talked to different lawyers before I talked to him and they sounded as "cheap" as their results. That is one thing I constantly researched was results and he has them and because of that, I know he would do for me what he would do for himself. He cares and he will bring some calm and peace of mind that he won't disappoint. He knows you are someone's child, someone's mother/father , someone's sister/ brother. He understands the pain and does everything in his power to assure you that he will fight for you like you deserve and your money feels greatly appreciated. Dont try to find someone better because you won't. God bless you Bruce Blumberg for everything you are doing for my family and for other people and their families.

Best Criminal Defense

On July 20th, 2016 I was wrongfully arrested after being attacked by my ex-wife. She was currently enrolled in police academy for Phoenix Police. She used the knowledge she had learned about how to get someone arrested to have me taken into custody. I was charged with assault/injury and criminal dama...ge for her broken phone screen. That day I was served with an order of protection. My ex used the knowledge she learned in police training to use the courts as a weapon, instead of a shied as they are intended. The order of protection restricted me from my own home, which I owned sole and separate from the marriage. Upon my release from jail, I was stripped of all my rights. I was required to be monitored by the county and required special permission to leave Maricopa County. I lost my gun rights due to the order of protection as well as any further contact with my ex-wife. Bruce was top notch in my criminal case. After the first hearing, he had my monitoring and county travel restrictions removed and I was restricted to the state. The very next time he saw the judge, he had the state travel restrictions and all other restrictions removed pending trial. Bruce knew I wanted to travel for Christmas and made sure that right was returned to me. Susan, the office manager, is also the best. She answered every phone call and email. If they were busy with another case, I always got my call returned and what I needed taken care of. Susan is a Integral part of the team. I owe special thanks to her for the hours and hours of work she put in drafting documents and reviewing my case. Bruce and Susan paid close attention to every detail in my case. They reviewed every second of police body cam video, every piece of evidence, and created a outstanding defense. Susan created a very detailed timeline of the events of that morning showing only 1 minute for the alleged assault to take place. When we finally got to trail, Bruce gave a world class defense. I watched my ex lying (as a sworn police officer now) in a attempt to convict me. Under cross examination, Bruce impeached my ex's testimony and showed her as a liar. During trail, his team brought character witnesses to testify to my honest non-violent nature. They also brought witnesses to testify to my Ex's violent dishonest nature. We were faced with a young inexperienced prosecutor with a hot temper. I watched Bruce argue the rules of evidence with great confidence being able to site every rule by number and quoted verbatim. In short, Bruce knows criminal law by heart. The Judge denied our request to present witnesses of character. Bruce immediately stood up and motioned firmly that I was not being given a fair trial and the case should immediately be dismissed. The Judge denied Bruce's request. Bruce looked at me and said "No matter what happens today, I will have this overturned in an appeal because you are no longer receiving a fair trial." After 9 hours of trail, both parties rested. The judge that day ruled, based on the 38 years he spent as a police officer, My ex should have been arrested and been on trial that day. I was found not guilty on all counts. Bruce's 37 years of practicing criminal law proved invaluable that day. After months of worry, Bruce ensured that my life was protected and all of my rights were returned to me. Best attorney ever. Money very well spent. I would recommend him to anyone. He did such a great job with my legal case, I keep him retained to this day. I trusted him with my life and he kept it fully intact.

Just another victim of the system

Without proper legal representation in the CORRUPT and BANKRUPT judicial system; you (john Q. public) are screwed. Mr. Blumberg helped me navigate this "system" very smoothly. Thank You Bruce!
