Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was referred to Florian Bruno through the German Consulate General in New York, and I highly recommend his services. In a complex international custody matter, Mr. Bruno demonstrated exceptional legal insight, efficiency, and strategic clarity. He quickly mastered the cross-border legal issues involved and developed a focused, well-structured litigation strategy. Throughout the proceedings, he remained responsive, composed, and highly professional. His ability to combine precise legal analysis with practical courtroom strategy was instrumental in achieving a result that protected my son’s best interests. I am deeply grateful for his dedication and representation, and I would not hesitate to recommend him in international family law matters. Mike
I cannot thank Mr. Bruno enough for the outstanding support he provided during a very stressful and time-sensitive situation with my civil lawsuit. Despite having a full day of out-of-town court appearances, he still made time to respond to my urgent voicemail the same evening and offered immediate help and solutions. With less than a week to prepare a legal response, Mr. Bruno went above and beyond by scheduling a 5 PM consultation—after a long day in court—just to ensure I wasn’t left without guidance. He carefully examined my case, gave thoughtful legal advice, and helped put me in a much stronger position moving forward. What stood out most was his kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern. He didn’t have to be so thorough or accommodating, but he was. Mr. Bruno is not only an exceptional attorney, but also a truly good person. I highly recommend Mr. Bruno to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate legal advocate.
Florian is an excellent attorney. He is very knowledgeable and always does what is right for his clients. He was always easy to contact and didn't mind what time of day I contacted him. His response is always quick and he always goes the extra mile to satisfy his clients. I highly recommend him to everyone seeking an attorney.
"Florian Bruno is an excellent attorney. He represented me as a lawyer. I was impressed with his dedication to his clients and his ability to come up with creative and cost-efficient legal solutions. His unique legal insight was an invaluable asset. I have no reservations recommending Florian. He is a skillful advocate for his clients and perhaps, more importantly, he understands how to treat his clients."
Florian was recommended to me by a friend of mine who used his service for some family law issues. I engaged Florian for my divorce settlement case which involved cross border asset settlement issues in the US Canada Hong Kong and Beijing. Florian was able to recover some money which my ex-wife “stole” from our joint account which has already been agreed as part of my settlement assets. When we our case reached a debt lock, instead of sitting on the account and enjoy the retainer fees which I agreed to pay, Florian recommended an arbitrator who came in and helped us reached a prompt settlement. I could not recommend Florian more for his good work and his professionalism.
I hired Mr. Bruno to resolve a difficult divorce situation. He applied just the right amount of pressure on the other side and was always extremely well prepared for court. He was very charming with the judge who knew him and liked him. We got an outstanding result in the end, after many difficult appearances, I was very nervous but Mr. Bruno led me through this gastly process with a firm hand. He is also a very compassionate person. He kept me informed about every step that was to be done and his communication habits are great.
Florian Bruno is a virtuous and professional lawyer who put his client before anything and will not give up until he has achieved the best result possible. He is a friendly and compassionate human being and very easy to get along with.
Florian Bruno was recommended to me by an acquaintance to help with me with a long-term visa application to Germany. During our initial conversation, he suggested that he might be able to help me regain my citizenship and requested I send all the information I had gathered from the German Embassy in tedious negotations. This he wanted to help with a situation affecting his wife! He also asked that I submit any documentation related to my loss of citizenship--which I did promptly. After not hearing back from him for several weeks, I followed up and was told that his mother had been seriously ill. He suggested a telephone appointment the following week. I suggested a date that worked for me and have never heard back. The whole scenario not only strikes me as highly unprofessional, it also seems to me to be a case of grandstanding as Mr. Bruno is not an expert in the area as he professed to be.
Initially, Florian understood that my case needed to be expedited because I'm ill and suddenly unable to work. Unfortunately, he floundered around for six months and never filed my case. He lacks the basic skill and organization to complete a simple case filing even in half a year. Florian had trouble learning basic facts of my case, so he had to redo documents several times. He lost vital materials and repeatedly complained that his secretary failed to organize things. He set three "firm deadlines" for filing the case, and was unable to meet any of them. After the third, he abandoned my case - with no warning, without securing another attorney, without sending my file. I now have six months of debt that I would not have if Florian had simply filed in a reasonable time frame. And knowing that he failed to do the job for which he was hired, he insists on keeping the retainer. Florian Bruno is an incompetent attorney and an unethical man. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else.
