Great attorney

I was referred by a friend to Bruce and his law firm. Bruce and his staff helped me with resolve a family law case matter related to an old judgement where my ex husband was in contempt of the court order. Working with Bruce made the process so seamless. My first consultation was free, and Bruce wa...s so diligent in taking the time to thoroughly and carefully listening to the details of my case he narrowed down a strategic plan. He explained the details of the plan and explained the step by step process of my my case. Bruce was extremely attentive throughout the process and was able to resolve the case quickly which resulted in us not needing to go to court and settle the case and thus saving me money and time that otherwise would be spent. Bruce is a great professional, ethical and extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He is prompt and quick at getting things done and I really appreciate all his help with my manner. I highly recommend him and will definitely come back for any legal needs in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
