I was referred by a friend to Bruce and his law firm. Bruce and his staff helped me with resolve a family law case matter related to an old judgement where my ex husband was in contempt of the court order. Working with Bruce made the process so seamless. My first consultation was free, and Bruce was so diligent in taking the time to thoroughly and carefully listening to the details of my case he narrowed down a strategic plan. He explained the details of the plan and explained the step by step process of my my case. Bruce was extremely attentive throughout the process and was able to resolve the case quickly which resulted in us not needing to go to court and settle the case and thus saving me money and time that otherwise would be spent. Bruce is a great professional, ethical and extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He is prompt and quick at getting things done and I really appreciate all his help with my manner. I highly recommend him and will definitely come back for any legal needs in the future.

He has consistently been able to help in any matter I bring up to him. He filed my bk smoothly years ago and even years later he gives me free consults when I have situations that arise with my business etc. he is knowledgable, on top of things and is highly recommended. I trust him with my cases and believe he’s the best attorney. Very caring and not out to rob your pockets.

If you are anything like me and are apprehensive about handing over thousands of dollars over to an attorney based off of your 20 minutes of research on sites like these, then at least you found Bruce!!! After meeting with him in his office for our initial consultation, which by the way was 100% free, I immediately felt better about my situation. Call it a mother's intuition but I felt like I had finally found the right law firm to handle my family law custody issue. I had already been through so much and almost felt like an attorney by the time I had finally found Bruce and his team. To make a long story longer, just hire this firm. He's a former DA and UCLA Grad WOOHOO!! Trust Me! He really is one of the good ones. I wouldnt be wasting my time writing this if he just took my money and ran.

I was referred by a friend and former client of Bruce for a complex family law case. I do not want to go into details about the reasons however I will go into details about how knowledgeable the attorneys were there. I had exhausted other strategies with other attorneys and Bruce and Audrey were able to narrow down a strategic path to my goals that were ultimately achieved. Not knowing the correct procedure of law really hurt me in the past and I was fooled by other attorneys who promised the world but never delivered, but hiring Bruce's team was worth every penny. I recommend them to anyone who ever needs an attorney in Orange County.

I just got out of court with my ex-husband and for the first time ever I am smiling after. His attorney is a real slime ball and was motioning me with all sorts of legal hogwash. It seems my former attorney was a slime ball too because he took twice as much money from me as Bruce and did a quarter of the work. So happy to finally have a visitation schedule my kids deserve. Thanks Bruce and Team!!!

Bruce has saved my butt on 2 different occasions. Not because I'm a total F-up, but because I was being falsely targeted. I was scared out of my mind, that my life would change for the worse, but Bruce kept me from having a stroke or heart attack, stressing out over the situation and with some very creative letters, made it all go away. I was also in a car accident, stopped at a light in SJC, waiting to get on the 5 Fwy, got hit from behind by an Enterprize Rental Car, F-150 pickup doing 50 MPH, completely destroyed my car, smashing me into the SUV ahead of me. Well, the driver didnt have any insurance, my hospital bills were sky high. Enterprize Rent a Car only carries minimum coverage ($5,000 property damage). They paid $4,,600 to the SUV, who only lost a bumper and drove away, and only $400 to me for my 2006 Honda paperweight. Then tried to screw me again by trying to only pay me $3,000 for my injuries. Bruce kicked their ass! With Really creative paperwork, put a bunch of money in my pocket. I'm filing my own complaints against them on my own, with the Calif. Dept. of Insurance. Bruce is awesome, honest, but vicious. When you're swimming in shark infested waters, make sure you're backed up by a Megaladon. Thanks Bruce. Rick

I have been a client for many years and trust Bruce with all of my legal needs. He is very effective and knowledgeable but never condescending. I have 100% confidence that I will be represented professionally. He has assisted me in multiple civil cases all providing speedy recovery.

If you are looking up lawyers right now. Hire Bruce Bridgman’s team. My wife and I have been through so many court cases I feel like an expert. I have hired over 10 lawyers during the 9 years this case has been around and have dealt with everything from protective orders to grandparent visitation and Bruce’s strategies helped end what all the other lawyers couldn’t. His team was always there to answer the phone or even just talk me down if I was worried about a court hearing. It all happened just like he said it would and that made all the difference. Finally an end to what I thought was going to last FOREVER. Happily and genuinely writing this review for a team that helped me for a very very fare price compared to these other bozos.

Bruce has been my first call for anything legal since 1996. I have always felt comfortable in referring people to him. He has always been there to help in any way he can. He is not only a great person and a gentleman but also a great attorney. Always ready to answer a question or to give good advice. I couldn't say enough about Bruce and what a blessing he's been to me over the years.

I first met Bruce Bridgman in 2010 when I was getting crushed by creditors after the real estate crash. He met me with me personally, and gave me the strength and guidance to move through the bankruptcy process and re-start my life. I am so happy to say that I bounced back and am happily continuing to grow my business and life. I owe so much to Bruce and his fabulous staff. Since then, I have continued to turn to Bruce with all my legal matters. He takes issues head-on and fights for you. And he is there everyday in the office, personally involved with each case, leading his staff attorneys. Thank you so much, Bruce, for all you have done for myself, my family, and my employees!!
