About

When I am not practicing law, I spend most of my time with my family.  We like to ski at lake tahoe, where my eldest is a top to bottom black diamond skier, and the youngest is starting black runs at age 9. I still enjoy playing volleyball, but no longer do so at the competitive level.  Instead, I am now a competitive poker player anked in the top 500 in Omaha Hi-Lo. During my last World Series of Poker tournament (2nd place), I was asked  how I did so well as a non-professional.  "Reading poker players is like reading a witness, neither one will tell the truth unless you makee them."

Mr. Kapsack knows the way the system works, won't blow smoke and lead you into a false premise of pie in the sky, realistic, with decades of experience and is an expert in the DUI field. Worth every penny and someone you can TRUST with your life. Great track record and has exceptional people skills, Grade A follow-up and respects that "Everybody makes mistakes." Respected by fellow attorney's and Judges. He's a GREAT clean up crew for those messy mistakes we tend to make in life, and will leave you with the BEST outcome feasible. Hired him a few years ago for my child who didn't even have to go to court as charges were subsequently dropped thanks to Mr. K; would hire again if I could, I Highly recommend!

Bruce was great -- he fielded my anxious questions over 3/4 of a year, and worked with me on the specifics of my case to get me a reduced charge. Not having to deal with the DMV and the courts was worth every penny.

Look no further for a DUI attorney, Bruce Kapsack is your guy. He made me feel like I was in good hands from the beginning and and walked me through every step of the process. Not only did he work on my DUI case but he also went above and beyond by arranging a hearing with the DMV for a speeding ticket without any extra charge. Bruce knows what he is doing and he has my highest recommendation.

I talked to Bruce in April, he said that we have a very strong chance of getting my DUI dismissed. I thought so too, at least I was hoping. My unique case had me at home drinking for 45 minutes before I was arrested from my home. Fast forward 10 months, and Bruce got it done. I couldn't and also could believe it, because it's what we set out to do. No promises, just due diligence, patience, and the use of the law to get our desired result. Bruce and his firm are tough, smart, and I sure as heck wouldn't want to face them in open court. Let's just say they absolutely crushed the opposition in my motion to suppress hearing. Give these guys a call, great team and well worth it in the end with a complete dismissal. It was a tough road, but not as tough if I hadn't had these guys by my side.

Bruce was quick to respond and meet, listened to my situation, gave expert advice and most importantly comfort at a very uncomfortable time. Without charging a dime he and Loren in his office got me through my experience with the least amount of distraction possible. They clearly explained the process and potential outcomes and regularly gave support where needed. I never felt alone or under informed. Fortunately as predicted by Bruce my outcome was a No Complaint. Thank you Bruce! Simply put, I couldn't recommend a better lawyer if you ever find yourself in need.

Due to extenuating circumstances, I did drive under the influence of alcohol and got a DUI. I felt as though I had a case to fight and after consulting with about a dozen lawyers, I chose Bruce Kapsack to represent me. He saw that I had a case and said with confidence that he could help me while everyone else I spoke with was very hesitant and doubtful. His fee was also very competitive if not cheaper compared to other lawyers I consulted with. My case was pending for a while and I felt a little uncomfortable as it seemed other lawyers were more communicative with their clients. Without giving too much information, due to a development in my case, Bruce got my case dismissed! It didn't even go to trial. Bruce Kapsack is the most reputable DUI lawyer because he is simply the best at what he does. Other lawyers even told me I'm in good hands with Bruce as he is a shark in the court room. If you need representation, there is no need to look further. IF YOU'RE LUCKY, Kapsack and Bair will agree to represent you. Then you just trust them and let them do what they do best! Thank you again Kapsack and Bair!!

I hired Kapsack & Bair for a first time DUI. I found the principals to be highly skilled at their practice, and I felt comfortable that they would do a superior job. They were honest, handled my case with care, were able to reduce the sentence based on their knowledge and strategy, and also treated me with respect and dignity. They were always available when I needed to talk with them, answered all of my questions, and were on top of the case every step of the way. I highly recommend Kapsack and Bair as a firm to be trusted.

Bruce Kapsack is not the cheapest DUI attorney or is he necessarily the friendliest. He is, though, the best in SF Bay area. I had a tough case which I needed to minimize the penalties. I did a lot of research before choosing an attorney and talked to several people who knew the players. Hands down, Bruce Kapsack's name came up the most frequent on who could help me. Bruce delivered, and I got out of this situation in all right shape.

Mr. Kapsack was an excellent attorney representing my case, and with a solid outcome. The entire firm of Kapsack and Bair were very professional and well-versed in the details of these types of cases. I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of a DUI attorney.
