There are not enough stars to give Bruce! If I could I would give infinite stars. He is quite possibly the best attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and knowing. He truly cares and will fight tooth and nail for you. I can not express my gratitude enough. If you need to get stuff done, look no further, Bruce will get it done. Best attorney, ever! Also a genuinely incredible human being. Thank you so much Bruce for all the hard work and dedication you have put forth to getting our family back together. You are impeccable!

Just from the free consultation I learned a great deal about my case right from the start. All other lawyers were 5 minute talks and a "here's how much it costs" type of talk. Bruce spent the time to talk to me professionally and explained all my options and how to proceed with the case. I would highly recommend him.

Order of Protection Mr. Yerman was by far the most professional lawyer/human being I've ever met. He handled my case with such professionalism and kindness. He was able to get the Order of Protection vacated with such ease. He answered all of my questions and phone calls in a timely manner, was never judgemental for my wrong doings (HAVING AN AFFAIR). Thank you Mr. Yerman as you are a man of knowledge and I respect you whole heartedly.

Fiercely Competent LOOK NO FURTHER! Bruce is fiercely competent. His professional experience, intelligence and character are above the rest. One phone call and I was sold. Searching for a lawyer I consulted with about 5 lawyers. No contest! Bruce is knowledgeable and has an excellent demeanor. Others were arrogant, intimidating, impatient and greedy. Bruce thoroughly explains every possible scenario throughout a cruel, unpredictable criminal court system. I received a timely response to my every inquiry. I was falsely arrested; the prosecutor was relentless. Bruce meticulously prepared for trail issuing subpoenas, gathering evidence such as videos, documents, hiring investigators, etc. He made an unbearable process almost pleasant. He’s strategic and sensitive to the opposition. Bruce went above and beyond. One evening he hand delivered a subpoena, ensuring a reluctant party turn over valuable video evidence. The results speak for themself. We were victorious! My case was DISMISSED! I have NO criminal record. I can happily move on with my life. It truly makes all the difference having an advocate who cares, keeps you informed and fights for you. I've recommended Bruce to friends. They can't thank me enough. A better lawyer you won't find!
