Satisfied!

We recently experienced the loss of our mother. So naturally it’s was a lot of emotions and chaos in our life at that time, but still something about the way she passed away didn’t sit well with us. I began to look for legal council and some how came across Bruce Bunch and Associates, and I am extrem...ely glad I did. Bruce looked over our case and took immediate action to get the ball rolling. He let us know that our concerns were in fact valid. Every step of the process his team was very professional and kept us informed on what was going and what we needed to do. We have finally got our case successfully settled. Bruce helped us finally be able to heal. No settlement amount will ever bring our mother back, but knowing that we got justice in her name means all the difference in the world!! We thank you all from the bottoms of our hearts!

As much as he is an expert and competent attorney, he is an incredible human being that anyone would be privileged to know..

If you ever have had the opportunity to have received legal guidance from Mr. Bruce Bunch, consider yourself fortunate and privileged-- attorneys like Mr. Bunch are so rare, he is a true testament to the legal field in that he has years of legal experience handling and winning complex lawsuits, wisdo...m and intelligence of the highest caliber, kindness, integrity, a resilient and incredibly strong work ethic (he will give you and your case all the attention it deserves), and just as importantly, empathy. The legal field is lucky to have him. Mr. Bunch encompasses all of these important human traits and sincerely cares and works incredibly hard to bring justice to your case. As much as he is an expert and competent attorney, he is an incredible human being that anyone would be privileged to know.. Long story short, I lost my mother in the span of a month--upon diagnosis, treatment, to the point she had passed away in the hospital. Needless to say, we were all in shock, grieved, heartbroken-- our world turned upside down and we had never felt so shaken to our core. My family thought something had gone amiss with her primary doctor for this type of situation to happen. On behalf of my father's wishes, we sought a medical malpractice lawsuit, not for financial gain, but rather for justice and emotional healing for we sincerely believed the primary doctor was negligent for my mother to have this type of outcome. I found out that medical malpractice lawsuits are a very contested field.. it is extremely difficult to find an attorney who would even give you a second of their time.. I know this because I've tried and had reached out to dozens (tearfully and desperately) before finding Mr. Bunch. Mr. Bunch brought a human element along with his legal expertise to our case. He was compassionate, thorough, an expert, and transparent. He made sure that I understood what types of documents were necessary and why. He made sure that I knew he was available to speak at any time. He gave his utmost sympathy to me and my family which helped us tremendously since we were still all so grieved, shocked and heartbroken for my mother having passed away. Upon sending the mountains of documents to Mr. Bunch, He gave the documents all the time it deserved to scrutinize all the tiniest bit of detail and information in order to bring a strong case. These were literally stacks and stacks of documents that he expertly studied and parsed through the text page by page. Not all legal cases will be successful.. especially in the area of medical malpractice which is extremely difficult in itself. Not all cases will move forward..not all cases will be won. But if you are lucky to have Mr. Bruce Bunch, you can have the confidence and peace of mind that your case has the best possible shot of moving forward and winning, that having him involved has already given you a leverage and an advantage, that there is incredible intelligence and human energy and compassion being given to your case-- that in itself is victory.

Highly Recommend

My husband and I are grateful we engaged Bruce. He secured an award for us of $2.75 million. Strategically, he was sublime. He had some experts testify through videotaped depositions, but had our key expert testify in person. His 68-page brief primed the pump for a favorable result. We highly r...ecommend Bruce!

Excellent Attorney

Bruce Bunch was referred to me by another attorney I trust, so at first I was nervous to work with someone new. I have been working with Bruce for quite some time, a couple of years now, and have gotten to know him well. This man is full of knowledge, helps me in so many ways, is there when I just ne...ed to vent, and most important of all he cares. He gives me hope, and I have faith in him. Bruce has a big heart and is a good man. His office manager Pam is cut from the same cloth. She's a doll and holds your hand whenever you need it. Pam has been with Bruce for over 35 years. To me, that says something. Bruce is on top of my case, he is always there when I need him, he means a lot to our family, and I trust him implicitly. I have read he is the best of the best, a legend, and they are right. Thank you Bruce.

Avoid Like the Plague

Avoid like the plague. Took my case and told me that I would be end up with a specified amount if I settled out of court and then later, denied ever having told me that. Would not have settled the case if I knew that he was being untruthful to me. Didn't seem to care about my injury, not good at retu...rning phone calls and would not utilize professional witnesses to defend me in court. Wanted me to pay for them up front, knowing I did not have the money to do that. Had to settle the case against all my better instincts because he refused to take it to court. Very difficult to work with.
