Highest recommendation for Bruce R. Moen

Bruce Moen has advised on and settled estates for my family beginning in 1986. The first estate was especially complicated and Mr. Moen provided excellent advice and counsel for our family. Since then he has drawn up wills for my late husband, my mother, my partner and for me. We know we can alway...s depend on Bruce's good advice.

"Bruce and I have worked together on several estate litigation matters. He is commonly appointed by the court as professional fiduciary in difficult-to-manage estate and trust matters. He has an uncommon level of experience and expertise in this area of law, on top of being a first-rate gentleman."

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.
