The Right Decision

“I was wrongly booked by one of my neighbor’s in charges of reckless driving as my car bumped into the boundary wall of his house. I had to get out of the legal trouble at the earliest. Following the advice of one of my friends I hired one of the Ottawa impaired driving lawyers from Engel and Associates. The process indeed proved to be the right decision as he had the ability to help me out of the legal hassle by offering effective suggestions on the matter. I am extremely happy that justice prevailed,”

The Process Worked

“Drug abuse is one problem that has taken people of a certain age group, living all over the world in its grip. There was a young boy living in my neighborhood who was suspected to have connections with drug peddlers. He was taken to the police station on the basis of allegations regarding his connections with drug peddlers. His parents went to the Engel and Associates for suggestions from Ottawa drug lawyers. The process worked as the drug lawyer managed to free him from all the allegations,”

Can Sleep Peacefully

“I had complained against some of my colleagues saying that they had assaulted me multiple times. Following the suggestions of a friend of mine, I went to an Ottawa assault lawyer from Engel and Associates. His invaluable suggestions helped me immensely in getting out of the legal issue. The guilty people got booked by the law. I also got freedom from daily tormenting caused by the people. I can go to office without any botheration of being attacked by those people anymore. Those people even threatened me of vengeful reactions from their end. However, finally they are behind the bars and I can sleep peacefully at home,”

Thankful To the Team of Lawyers

“My brother got into a legal issue when he discovered the dead body of his departmental store colleague after getting into the shop in the morning. As there was no other witness to the incident, he got stuck in the legal issue. A very efficient Ottawa criminal lawyer from Engel and Associates had been with us all along through the troubled situations and finally my brother managed to get free from the troubles caused to him due to a false stigma on his professional life. My entire family is thankful to the complete team of lawyers from Engel and Associates,”

Helped Justice to Prevail

“It is indeed very painful to see a childhood friend bringing up the issue of fraudulence against another childhood friend of mine. I hired an Ottawa fraud lawyer from Engel and Associates to sort out the problem. The issue got resolved fast and the friendship between the two fighting opponents was restored. I am thankful to the lawyer for all his efforts because both the people fighting the case were my friends. I am thankful to the lawyer, because he helped justice to prevail,”

Reliable and Efficient

My husband was facing some very serious sexual criminal charges against him and after doing some extensive research for a criminal attorney, I strongly advised my husband to hire Bruce. Bruce’s legal fees are quite costly BUT I would do it all over again in a minute (not that I would want this nightmare to ever happen again). My husband was wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct against a minor and this could have destroyed his life, our life, our lives (including our children). This in fact rocked our world, our home life, my relationship with my daughter since this was her friend.


After our first initial meeting with Bruce and Kevin, it was very clear that Bruce does not sugar coat anything. He says things how it is and how he thinks things will go in regards to a case. I felt quite confident that paying the money to have Bruce sit on my husband’s side would be extremely beneficial. We do not live in Ottawa, therefore some of our meetings we felt could have been done over the telephone, but Bruce is the type of lawyer that needs to see you face to face and I admire that about him. In just meeting with him, he always seemed to bring my anxiety levels down.


Throughout this entire nightmare, Bruce was there for me at all times even my late night texts (in fact, I think I may have been driving him crazy with my texts because I was in so much amount of stress), but he responded to me every single time to put my mind at ease and in some cases even called me instead of texting me back (I to this day think that he picked up the phone because he sensed how much more stressed I was).


Bruce kept us in the loop of my husband’s defence at all times. Bruce plays hard ball and you will see that. He is an extremely good attorney and I would recommend him to anyone. Bruce won our case and this nightmare is over for us. We owe him so much as this could have ended so badly for my husband and not just with prison time, but with other life altering things for the rest of his life.


In closing I must point out that on the first day of trial, he had me giggling at his tie. It was a tie which had criminals on it and little handcuffs… Anyhow my I tip my hat off to you Bruce. BRAVO and again we thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to our family.
