I cannot say enough about my experience with Attorney Lynn Sfara Bruno. From the very first…read moremeeting, she made me feel safe, supported, and truly heard during one of the most stressful times of my life. I was put in an extremely awful and unfair position regarding my child, and Lynn immediately stepped in with professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of family law. Lynn is not just knowledgeable, she is strategic, empathetic, and incredibly thorough. She took the time to explain every step, every option, and every possible outcome in a way that made me feel confident and empowered. For the first time in a long time, I felt like someone genuinely had my back. Her dedication to child custody cases, her attention to detail, and her strong courtroom presence made all the difference in my case. Lynn fought for my rights and my child with everything she had, and I will forever be grateful for her guidance and support. If you need a family law attorney who actually cares, listens, and truly fights for you, I highly recommend Lynn Sfara Bruno. She is the reason I was able to get through this experience with hope and strength. She is the best lawyer I've ever worked with, and I would trust her again without hesitation.

DO NOT TRUST THIS PERSON WITH YOUR LIFE AT ALL COSTS…read more About two and a half months ago, a case that he took on for me after our previous lawyer shafted us was resolved. Me and my family were assaulted by police in a hospital after they refused to acknowledge my mother's appeal. We thought he would be better because he immediately said multiple things he would do that our previous lawyer never even mentioned. He even said he would take on my mother's case against the police department for her. However, things started to unravel quickly. Just like our previous lawyer, he wouldn't respond to texts and calls, only met us in person twice(which nothing of substance came from as he eventually gave a lackluster "defense" using little to no information that we gave him, and I will mention more on that later on), and he then suddenly did a 180 and went from telling us he would definitely win me and my mother's cases to saying that he can't win and that I need to take a deal. When we asked him about the sudden change in tone and said we wanted to go to trial he immediately became confrontational and aggressive, saying that he was raising his costs. Weeks passed by as he did nothing but go on vacations, then he suddenly contacts us two days before the trial asking us for testimony and witnesses that we gave him multiple times before that. During the first day of the trial, he finally called his private investigator asking her to find one of the eyewitnesses we told him about and she was annoyed, saying to him, "Why did you wait so long?" and "You really dropped the ball on this one". She told us privately later that day that in all her years of working with attorneys that she had never seen one that was this terrible on a case. The second day of the trial, before going into the courtroom, he slapped my mother's hand and yelled at her when she tried to show him something about the case on her phone. He told my sister to go into the courtroom and take notes of everything which he knew would get her in trouble with the court, and then when the judge asked him if he told her to do that, he said he didn't know she was taking notes, and gave the judge and prosecutors cause to remove my sister from the courtroom. When the court took a break, he walked up to my sister and thanked her for not "calling him out". Also, as my family that were waiting in the lobby told me and once when I saw it myself, he went into the bathroom with several people on the prosecutors' side several times throughout the days that the trial took place. My father eventually went in and heard them talking and when they noticed him, they stopped speaking. When giving his defense, he(I believe intentionally) made mistakes that gave the judge and prosecutor cause to stop him from being able to use the prosecutors witnesses' testimonies against them and from being able to present evidence of his own to the jury, not to mention that he was still goading me into taking a plea deal every day, which I did after he failed to present evidence that would've proved my innocence. He immediately cut ties with our former agreements and contracts, including taking my mother's case against the police department, before leaving the court. I fully believe that he was working with the judge and prosecutors against me for his own gain, even bringing my family members into situations that they shouldn't have been involved in, just to prevent me from getting justice while he got away scot-free. He fully deserves to never be able to practice law again, playing with people's lives the way he did ours. EDIT: Notice the aggressive response he gave. "You went through 3 lawyers", he and the aforementioned lawyer are the only attorneys I had throughout the case, the court records show that. "I don't like you or your family either" I never mentioned like or dislike, I only stated facts and my final conclusion on this individual, and it seems I was not wrong, as he did not address any of the issues I mentioned throughout this review, and instead opted for confrontation. I should also mention that he advertises fighting civil rights cases, and his defense for my case was based on racial bias, then when I left a review of him on another site, he responded with "I don't like you or your family either".
