A little about Bruce
I am a lawyer, CEO, and speaker who builds communities of justice minded Christians to free people from legal burdens so they can flourish.
I didn’t always care about justice. I was busy as the senior partner of a successful multi-office law practice. But I missed something. God was less concerned about me building my kingdom and more concerned about how I was advancing His kingdom by loving and serving others.
How about you? Ever so busy you’re afraid you might be missing something God has for you? Then like the Good Samaritan, maybe you should stop. That’s what I did to start a legal ministry called Administer Justice which is now one of the largest legal ministries in America. Along the way I made a lot of mistakes but I also learned a lot about injustice in our legal systems and what God has to say about justice. Now I use my knowledge and experience to excite and invite others to do justice.
Background
A little bit about my background, accomplishments, & family
I have been speaking publicly most of my life. First as a Baptist pastor’s son, later as a Christian campus leader, pastor, and for much of my 33-year legal career as an accomplished trial lawyer. I have keynoted major events and fundraisers, spoken in churches, chapels, workshops, podcast, radio and television.
The work I do has been recognized with a number of awards including World Magazine’s National Hope for Effective Compassion Award.
I am author of the highly acclaimed book, Gospel Justice, published by Moody and Persevering Power published by InterVarsity Press.
My story of suffering and sacrifice of a prestigious legal career to serve the poor is the subject of many articles, including the introduction to Gospel Justice. Just as compelling are the stories of hundreds of victims of injustice I have been privileged to serve and the greater landscape of injustice which exists in our nation and neighborhoods.
I am married to a wonderful Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx of New York. Helen and I have been married for 33 years and are blessed with adult twin sons, Joseph and Daniel. We live outside Chicago, Illinois. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and meeting new people – preferably over a good meal or coffee.
