Confident and knowledgeable

Bruce was referred to me in order to get the insurance company attention and participation in my case which they refused initially. He accomplished that in a timely manner exhibiting in depth knowledge which made a big impact on the outcome to date. He continues doing that throughout when needed in ...a Professional way.

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.
