Clear communication prompt responsiveness exceptional legal representation

I sought assistance from Bill Bruce, a partner at Clifford and Brown, on a civil case in which I had no prior involvement. Throughout the process, I was consistently impressed by his clear communication and prompt responsiveness. Bill managed all negotiations with the plaintiff’s attorney efficiently... and ultimately secured a dismissal, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Bill Bruce to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

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.
