Robert Bruce founded Liberty Legal, LC after over 20 years of experience in human rights, economic development, and public defense.
For the last decade he has represented thousands of Spanish, Arabic and English speaking clients charged with criminal offenses and those seeking immigration relief.
He is a fierce advocate for his clients from the police investigation stage through to trial and appeals.
He possesses extensive experience in case management, forensic evidentiary issues, trial practice, and client advocacy, and can readily call upon a network of experts to assist in areas of specialized needs.At the intersection of criminal law and immigration is the relatively new field of "crimmigration" law.
As the climate for immigrants has become decidedly more complicated, Liberty Legal, LC has broadened his focus to include serving the immigrant community in Northern Virginia and beyond.
From obtaining green cards for spouses of U.S.
citizens to the most complex asylum cases, Robert takes great pride in obtaining a variety of immigration benefits -- and relief from removal and deportation -- for his clients. Robert Bruce graduated cum laude in 2006 from the George Mason University Antonin Scalia School of Law.
