Hire the best or loose like the rest!

Family law matters are challenging for the individual involved, some more than others. That's why it's imperative to have excellent representation. Having Bruce, Terri & Kimberly there on my side was the best decision I made. I was treated like a person and not just a client. He protected me in a di...fficult case and I came out on top in the end :-) and am moving forward now into my new life. Thank you!!

Best lawyer in AZ

Bruce is very knowledgeable in AZ law. He answered all my questions and helped me get through a rough time. I wouldn't want to go to court without him in my corner. I would and have recommend Bruce.

Bruce Brown Family Law Case

I spent 2 months with this lawyer. He ended up charging me full price for the initial consult. His office kept me informed. Sent me many duplicate notices. He is not email or computer friendly. Much of the paperwork I accessed online before receiving his notification by mail. He has been practicing f...or many years and had still "never seen this happen before". He gave me a strategy, but then never gave me a direction to go. He was played by the other lawyer and gave him more information to use against me. I think he may have been pretty good when he was younger, but not very agresive anymore. Just seeks to bill his clients for every second.

This person sounds like he or she would complain no matter what. For example, "He gave me a strategy, but then never gave me a direction to go." What???? Isn't a strategy a direction to go? I have been practicing for over ten years and, in my experience, this sounds like a client who either messed up his own case (note that Bruce only represented this client for two months - can you say "last minute hire?") or the case just didn;t go his or her way and now seeks to blame the attorney with petty, anonymous comments online.
