Bruce Donald Jaques Jr

Hired Jaques with a settlement already in hand he told me he could get me 45000 even with my criminal record which had nothing to do with what I was being accused. O told him I was facing 3 strikes and life in prison for other offenses. He told me it didn't matter because what was said is completely... different than the false light and slander that was spread about me. After about 15000 in his fees he tells me that my criminal record can come into play and it's better to settle. I settled on his recommendation for the same exact settlement I got on my own plus four thousand dollars. Which when I count his fees I lost a lot more hiring him. He was late to depositions, I had to tell him he missed court dates, he said money would be returned from his office to me from the last 6k plus I sent him for trial readiness which we didn't even go to. How assistant/ office manager Elizabeth uguarte told me I had a great chance of winning and that I should continue to send more money. Two weeks ago Jaques tells me he fired her for stealing moneyrrible from clients. I signed the settlement 11 months ago and I have not received any money from the company I was suing or have I received a refund from jaques law office. It's been almost a year!! Horrible attorney poor ethics and I don't recommend.

Bruce Jaques took a case for me and rarely kept in contact. I called at least once a week to check on the status of my case and not only would his staff say each time I called that he was never available but he would never even bother to call me back. His website claims he specializes in anti-SLAPP l...aw however he filed a lawsuit on my behalf and it was the very anti-SLAPP motion from the opposing attorney that got my case dismissed.

We were sued by our psycho neighbor, we called everywhere trying to get answers to our questions and no one was willing to help us but Bruce did! He took the time to talk to me on the phone for about an hour and review my case for free. I sent him my documents and he told me what to do and what would... eventually happen and that is exactly what happened! The lawsuit was dismissed and no money or time was spent/wasted thanks to Bruce. He is very knowledgeable and is willing to share that knowledge with people that have no idea how to proceed with legal issues. I really appreciate him taking the time to give my husband and I advice and that fact that he did it for free was amazing. My husband and I REALLY REALLY appreciate it. Thanks so much Bruce!!

Bruce was a knight in shining armor when I was blindsided with a lawsuit from a review I had left four years ago. Before speaking with Bruce, I was unsure of the law, and didn't know what retribution I would face if I didn't do what was being demanded of me. Having somebody as knowledgeable as Bruce... in my corner gave me the confidence I needed to fight for my rights. The case was active for about six months, and in that time, my emotions got the best of me more than once. Bruce was patient and kind, and held a steady voice of reason and confidence in our position in the case. He worked very hard and level headed as he navigated us through all that the opposition flung at us in desperation. I'm so thankful to be standing on the other side of this nightmare VICTORIOUS, thanks to Bruce!
