Oh my gosh! Rebecca was amazing, stellar, spectacular! We started our adoption journey more than 33 years ago. When I met with Rebecca for the first time she seemed so happy to hear out story and ready to help us make our dreams come true. When I asked her if we could execute our adoption ASAP a few weeks ago, she made it happen in just a few days! She and our judge got to hear a snippet of our memories over my daughter's life, and they celebrated our joy with us. She's so calm and so kind and provides complete clarity and transparency on the process. I couldn't have made a better choice. My firstborn is now official with with huge kudos to Rebecca and Judge Kim Dowling. Happy tears!

I had to hire Bruce & Bruce after paying over $4k for another attorney who took my money and did almost nothing for our case. We didn't have long before the final 2 court dates from the time I hired them, and they still got everything we needed done. They're miracle workers!

Rebecca Bruce... so many wonderful ways she helped us navigate the process of step parent adoption! There was never an email or text unanswered or a call not returned. Her knowledgeable, kind spirit is so evident even through an email! She shared in our excitement and that's a huge thing. She was so efficient with the process. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!! We can't thank her enough!

We had a wonderful experience with using Rebecca Bruce for the adoption of our two children out of Dcs this last year. It was a very long process, from start to finish it was over a year long and she walked us through every step of the process. Her paralegal was very professional and knowledgeable and if we had a question that she did not know the answer to, she would set us up with a phone conversation with Rebecca. We do not have a single complaint in hiring Rebecca and we would highly recommend her. Also, from a financial standpoint, she lowers her fees to reflect what Dcs would charge and so we did not pay anything out of pocket to adopt our children! She has done DCS adoptions hundreds of times and was very familiar with all the steps and information. We had a great experience.

Rebecca and Jessica walked with us every step of the way with two separate adoptions of our former foster children. They are so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient! They work as fast, or as slow, as you want and get the job done in a very timely manner. We can't thank them enough for all they have done to make our family official!

Rebecca was awesome to work with during our adoption of our teenage son. She made the process as quick and easy for all of us. Her office has continued to provide me with items or information I needed post adoption. I would definitely recommend her!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
