Top Firm. Top Lawyer

Bruce is just exceptional. As a former forensic accountant, Bruce brings a skill set that is very difficult to come by not just in Orange County but in the entire nation. In my opinion, he is one of the smartest lawyers I have met and he is highly recommended to resolve the case. I have found his adv...ise to be honest and fair. On a personal level, he has a very personal communication style and has been a pleasure to work with.

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.
