Highly qualified, efficient, effective and professional representation. The firm took control of the case and managed the successful resolution expeditiously. They made a stressful process pleasant. David Bruno's capability was impressive.

We are forever indebted to David Bruno. Our son needed the best legal representation as he was faced with serious charges that could have resulted in a long prison sentence. This was a difficult and tumultuous case to navigate. Our son, diagnosed with a serious mental illness at the time of the documented incident, required an attorney who not only understood the law, but who demonstrated sensitivity and respect towards him and the mentally ill. David and our family worked together as a team throughout this ordeal. Our jobs were distinct- we attended to our son's mental health treatment and David took care of the legal process. We handed our son's life over to David and we trusted him. Aside from David's knowledge of the law, his demeanor and excellent communication skills were an asset during court appearances. From the first hearing to the last, David was fully "loaded" and prepared to confidently defend our son. We stood in court in awe of his prodigious talent. As much as we would like to forget this very difficult time in our family's life, we will never forget the help and support we received by hiring David Bruno.

Dave is not only a fantastic, knowledgeable attorney, but he is also a personable guy and very down to earth. I was at fault in a car accident which caused the passengers in the other vehicle a lot of harm, and throughout the entire case he understood the stress put on me from the case and he was very reassuring and went out of his way to help me in any way he could. He is a former Morris county prosecutor so he understands how the prosecutors think and uses that experience to get you the best outcome you could hope for. I now call Dave a friend and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney in NJ.

I am happy for this opportunity to leave this review of David. I cannot imagine anyone anticipates needing a defense attorney, especially as a law-abiding citizen, I know I did not. I awoke one day unexpectedly being falsely accused of a crime and was quickly confronted with the overwhelming power of the legal system. I needed the best and I got that in David and his staff. David's experience and knowledge proved invaluable. While it was a long process, David expertly studied and researched my case and successfully fought for me throughout, and of course winning in convincing fashion. I am certain that if you find yourself in need of services that David and his firm offer you will receive at the outset honest straightforward advice and a true assessment of your case. Knowing David I am certain he will do everything in his power to do his very best for you. I am glad he was on my side during such a difficult period.

Not Just TV Having spent most of my adult life volunteering and serving my community. I never could have imagined that I would ever need a criminal defense attorney. In my case, I was the victim, but somehow, I ended up being a defendant. The truth can easily be distorted when rookie police officers are involved. I don’t blame them for trying to do their job and I guess there is a learning curve involved in law enforcement as well, but to be bamboozled into being charged with a crime is the last thing I would have expected. Our system may be the greatest in the world, however, it is not flawless by any means. Shock, anxiety, and depression are emotions that took over when I finally understood what was happening. I knew I had done nothing wrong, so why should I have to prove my innocence? I thought it was the other way around. I did my homework to find legal representation, and the choices were many. I felt that I really shouldn’t need “the best” in my case, however, I am glad that I did my research, and decided to chose David Bruno and The Bianchi Law Group based on their exemplary reputation, experience, and reviews. The court system doesn’t work so easily, or at times, even feels unfair. Due process is painful and confusing. David Bruno and The Bianchi Law Group leveled the scale. From the very first consultation until the last day of our court appearance they were on top of every single detail. Communication was very important to me along the way as I felt like I was living a reoccurring nightmare, and needed information, and encouragement. My phone calls and emails were returned promptly every time, early in the morning and even late at night. If he weren’t as sharp as a tack, I wouldn’t believe he takes time to sleep. There is nothing warm and fuzzy about the legal system and David was very informative and clear on that. At the end of the day, it comes down to knowledge, experience, intelligence, and courtroom demeanor to navigate the treacherous waters of the legal system. There is no doubt that I felt like I was being thrown under the bus by the prosecutor. I was under the false impression that the prosecutor was there to serve the community and determine if a case had merit or not, so as not to allow false claims to be dignified. Prosecute those who they believe to be guilty as charged and dismiss frivolous suits and fallacious charges. Given the circumstances in my case, lack of evidence, and persons involved, I could not believe he would even proceed with the charge. He did! And I was shocked to the core. David’s experience as a prosecutor, together with his years as a Criminal Defense attorney has positioned him at the very top in his field. I was absolutely amazed at the way this man handled himself in court. He exhumes knowledge and etiquette. His presence in the courtroom is something that can be felt. At times, it seemed that David “knew” the law better than the judge! The way David conducts himself in court is nothing short of impressive, and as a result, the process tows a very straight line when he is on stage. When he speaks you can hear a pin drop in the room. I felt at one point everyone in the room was intimidated, even the judge... He was at least ten steps ahead of my opposition throughout the entire process. Without question, the time spent on this debacle was the worst time spent of my entire life. After working on my case and appearing several times in court, David was finally able to have the charges dismissed. This was no small accomplishment, as he had made it clear that in court there are no guarantees. A trial would have hurt me, not only financially, but emotionally as well. He was able to spare me that. God bless him and The Bianchi Law Group. They should be commended for leadership in their field. Other criminal defense attorneys would be well served if they took notes on David and Robert. I couldn’t be more impressed or thankful. Louis

David Bruno was an outstanding attorney. He understood everything about my case. I was totally relieved when David was able to represent me in a professional, courteous, and supportive manner. I never would have been able to be positive in an extremely stressful situation if it weren't for David. I am very grateful and have full confidence in David and his team.

If you are looking for an attorney that always has your best interests in mind, then look no further - you've found him. David is a dedicated legal professional that strives for excellence and has helped me with my case every step of the way. His communication is superb, and all of my concerns have been addressed almost instantly, as he really helped guide myself rough situation. David takes things a step further, and really boils complex legal issues down for the layperson, which has taken so much of the "mysticism" out of the legal process for us. I'm extremely pleased with his services, and would recommend to him to anyone.

David Bruno did an excellent job handling my husband’s case. He was a consummate professional. He was always available to answer questions and put our minds at ease. I couldn’t imagine having to go through the court process without David’s help. We always felt as if he had my husband’s best interests in mind. We were thrilled with David’s handling of our case and the outcome! I would highly recommend David Bruno. You won’t be disappointed.

I ran into some very serious legal issues and very serious charges that went hand in hand with 5-10 years in prison. I had spoken with Mr Bianchi and determined that I couldn't afford their services. And still, Mr Bianchi took all of my calls and questions and helped me in every way he could absolutely free of charge. I was so very impressed by this law firms kindness. And I was very thankful for it. Then as my case progressed my Entirely inept attorney David glassman (who for some odd reason has high ratings on this site) was blowing Everything for me and my family and I was terrified of the consequences of not investing in mine and my family's future by hiring a lawyer who actually CARES about his clients and one who has the abilities to follow through on promises made to his clients. At this point I decided to reach back out to Mr Bianchi. At which point he told me he'll take my case but will task duties to his partner David Bruno. I didn't know what to expect and was troubled because my relationship and trust belonged to Mr Bianchi. But he assured me that his partner David Bruno was the right man for this specific case. To my great pleasure he was right and I am forever grateful to this firm Especially Mr Bruno. I IMMEDIATELY knew I was in great capable hands. I was shooting for probation (my first offense but 2nd degree assaults are not typically met with probation or pti) and Mr Bruno told me to relax and watch him work. And every chance he got to present me as a person and not another number or criminal to the prosecution and those involved he hit Nothing but home runs! Every time. Things began to look up for me and all of a sudden it even appeared as if I was the one holding all the cards in thhe case. What an amazing feeling! There is sooooo much more I can rave about Mr Bruno but you will absolutely find out what a great professional and great man he is when you hire him. The integrity of this law firm has gained my and my family's great gratitude and we thank God we made the decision to hire the Absolute BEST. Not only is he a Brilliant strong minded lawyer. He is a good man who fights for his clients all the while keeping you calm and assured of getting a fair and personalized defense of whatever you may be going through. Thank you from me and my family's hearts. And thank you Mr Bianchi for introducing me to David Bruno.

I retained David Bruno & The Bianchi Law Firm in a criminal case that exposed me to 5-7 years in state prison. my original defense attorney made me feel weary and uncertain so through referrals and recommendations I found myself at a free consultation with David Bruno and Robert Bianchi of the Bianchi Law Firm. From day one David was always straight forward with me, never promised me a get out-of-jail-free-card, and always laid out all of my options. He articulated his sentences in a way that let me understand the big fancy law terms in a civilian manor. David never left a phone call or email unanswered. When meeting face to face he was always with his mentor and founding partner Robert Bianchi. The both of them never left a question of mine unanswered and always let me know all of my options as my case progressed. They went above and beyond to utilize every tool possible in my defense. As far as the details of my case, David went above and beyond to push for the best possible outcome. Things the prosecution said would never happen did indeed happen due to Mr. Bruno's expertise and hard work. Because of his knowledge and passion I sit here today thankful to even know this man and be able to call him a friend. I would never recommend another lawyer to anyone I know. If you're looking for a defense attorney to give your case 100% effort from day one to the end, look no further, David Bruno is the best there is.

When I hired David Bruno, he came into a case where the prior attorney’s actions were different from those he would have taken. He was honest about that up front but was still willing to help me with whatever he could, based on my situation at that time. I found him to be extremely responsive, returning phone calls and emails promptly. His reaction to a situation that arose with the complainant, which needed to be addressed by the Prosecutor, was swift and showed his ethical behavior. He was always looking at the whole picture and was proactive in researching information associated with my case. When I would meet with him and ask questions, he was always prepared with the answers anticipating my concerns, treating me with compassion and respect. Mr. Bruno was very clear, taking the time to fully explain my situation, the actions he would be taking and what he expected from me. He used language I could easily understand when explaining charges, procedures, and processes. He made sure I was knowledgeable and realistic about what to expect and appeared for all court proceedings on time, well prepared and sharply dressed. David Bruno came into my case in the ninth inning, using his excellent skills and got the best outcome for me that was possible. I was grateful to have had him on my team and should I have a need in the future, he would be the first person I would contact. I highly recommend him.
