Bruce Blumberg is certified as a Specialist in Criminal Law by the State Bar of Arizona. Of the 18,000 licensed attorneys in Arizona, only about 750 of them have received specialist certification, and only a handful of those are certified in the area of Criminal Law. During his tenure as a defense attorney, Bruce has represented many serious felony matters, including a number of death penalty cases as a Maricopa County Court Appointed Counsel. Bruce has a reputation within the legal community of being an honest, hard-working attorney. He has a passion for his clients and dedicates 100% to the defense of any client represented by his firm. Although Bruce has always maintained an emphasis on Criminal Law, he has also represented many clients on Personal Injury matters. His firm includes one associate who dedicates his time to Criminal Defense, and they recently have been joined by another associate who focuses specifically on Civil and Personal Injury matters.

Blumberg & Associates was founded in 1988 and is located in the Luhrs Tower, just a stone's throw from the Superior Court, the County Attorney's Office and the Madison Street Jail. This close proximity has allowed Bruce to develop relationships that would not have been cultivated from an office anywhere else in the Valley. The office location allows Bruce to conduct his clients' cases more efficiently and expediently.

Bruce attended Michigan State University, graduating in 1976 with a pre-law degree. He was subsequently accepted into Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan. After receiving his law degree, Bruce was admitted to the Michigan Bar. While practicing law during the day, he studied at Wayne State University in Detroit where he earned Masters of Law in Taxation.

Bruce's first taste of Criminal Law came under the tutelage of Edward F. Bell, a former Judge for the Circuit Court of Detroit. Their clientele included high profile individuals such as Jane Kennedy, Leon Spinks, and Don King. During this period, Bruce honed his trial experience against defendants such as Ford Motor Company.
