About Bruce
Biography
I'm a criminal defense attorney with over three decades of experience in the criminal justice system.
I'm a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney. After leaving the office in 1987 I have been practicing criminal defense for over 30 years.
I have the legal expertise and knowhow but most importantly have developed and nurtured lasting and positive relationships with my colleagues in the criminal justice system. These skills and relationships have been critical to obtaining the very best results for my clients.
I've handled well over 10,000 criminal cases in my career; everything from traffic tickets to murder cases.
I'm politically active throughout Los Angeles County and have been a pivotal supporter for candidates for various Los Angeles County Criminal Justice offices including the District Attorney the Sheriff's Department, the City Attorney, and a host of Superior Court judges and Commissioners.
I'm a founding member of the Honorable Benjamin Aranda III American Inn of Court established in 1994 and have been designated a Master Lawyer and "Lawyer Emeritus" by that organization.
My relationships within the criminal justice system stretch from the top of the supervisor staff to the day-to-day court staff; everyone knows me and my reputation precedes me.

Traffic Incident
Bruce was very helpful, both in advising us before I hired him, and after - all the way through resolution. A simple traffic incident could have gotten blown out of proportion, but Bruce handled it perfectly. Resolved out of court, and in a timely manner. Thanks Bruce !
