Posted by Geoff | April 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Poor communication and quality of service.

I hired Bruce to handle some court proceedings for me and also paid him up front, in full, at the beginning of January 2018. Throughout the entire process Bruce and his assistant Corrie were extremely hard to get a hold of, never answered any of my phone calls, and I had to constantly try to contact ...them by phone, text, and email to find out what was happening with my situation as they were also not returning any of my calls. Finally, at the end of April 2018, almost 5 months later and after much headache of dealing with the poor communication from Bruce and Corrie over such a common court proceeding, everything was finalized. What really showed me Bruce's true colors however was when I brought up feedback to him that their communication was lacking and it felt unprofessional on his part. His exact words back were, "If you ever need a criminal defense attorney I guess you should call someone else." So that is 110% what I recommend if your are researching this attorney. Save yourself the headache and just call someone else because there are way better attorneys, and the headache and unprofessional attitude you will get is not worth it.
