Bruce Edward Stanton

Some poppies stand taller in the field than others; some lawyers stand taller in the legal field than others. Bruce Stanton stands tall. Mr. Stanton rises above the field due to his clear, linear thinking and purposeful strategy for winning, his unruffled, professional demeanor in the courtroom, and ...his management style with his clients. And he wins his cases. He won our case! For two years in a row, and two litigations, Bruce Stanton has been the attorney for the El Nido Estates to prevent two separate, exorbitant 100% rent increases in our rent-controlled mobilehome park. In contrast to the opposing lawyer, a high-powered, high-priced master of sophistry, who relied upon theatrical antics, procedural objections, straw-man arguments and convoluted logic, Bruce Stanton, with a calm and steady hand, kept his eye focused on the facts and legal arguments it took to win and quietly and masterfully prevailed! Undeterred by the antics of the opposition, he tartly rebutted each argument they enumerated and deftly shone light on their obfuscations. He was a brilliant foil to their clown. Equally impressive, Bruce Stanton was masterful in his handling of us, his client/s (all 155 mobilehome residents), when we became fearful and demanding. He calmed our fears and guided us back to the facts and our strategy to win. He was patient and generous with his time while being respectful of “billing hours”. On two occasions he participated in a phone conference call with all residents to explain the on-going legal process and answer our never-ending and repetitive questions. With calm expertise and a depth of experience, Bruce Stanton led the charge that protected rent control and denied the owner his exorbitant rent increase. David beat Goliath
