Brilliant and effective personal service

Bruce McDermott is a brilliant and effective attorney. He took over my case and brought it to a conclusion with a more favorable outcome than I had imagined was possible. He fought doggedly for my interests and never failed to communicate directly and personally with me to keep me updated about my ca...se. I cannot say enough about the level of expert personal service I received from Mr. McDermott.

Overprice and absolutely incompetent!

Talks a good game. Has lots of experience. But from my experience as his client, he doesn't do much of the work himself and has the peons do the work. That's OK on some level, but when push comes to shove he doesn't know your case and all he really cares about is billable hours. For $400+ an hour I'm... quite sure you can find somebody significantly better.

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.
