In my opinion and based upon my experience as a paid client, Bruce H. Lehr is a horrible trial lawyer. He represented me in a 2004 criminal extortion case, telling me that he could easily win at trial because he felt that the State of Florida would be hard-pressed to prove the essential elements of extortion. Maintaining my innocence to this day, I let this legal bungler pump me up full of confidence in his ability as a "top-notch" trial lawyer, with an "outstanding" (so he says) win-loss trial record.
It is my belief that he lied to me throughout the entire term of his legal representation by telling me that I would probably still get probation even if I lost the case, and that he felt he could easily prove my innocence at trial, since essentially, both parties had "unclean hands". I feel that Lehr filled me full of false hope and gave me false promises throughout the entire ordeal.
I rejected an attractive plea offer and he was apparently ill-prepared and bungled my case at trial, causing me to lose and receive a three (3) year state prison sentence, plus three (3) years county time, and three (3) years of probation, all to run consecutively. Only through the hiring of two (2) much more competent appellate attorneys, was I able to gain some relief, and was ultimately successful in getting released from my term of incarceration, after serving three (3) years and two (2) weeks, to be exact, between jail and prison combined.
If you value your freedom, please DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN. In my opinion, he is a shyster, and a legal bungler. If you retain him for a criminal defense matter, it is my firm belief you are literally playing Russian Roulette with your freedom and your life.
