Veronica Rojas is an incredible lawyer/paralegal who reminds you that even when you think something happened unluckily, meeting and working with her is actually a stroke of luck! During a time when we truly needed help, her professionalism, strong work ethic, and warm smile showed us that even difficult situations can be resolved with laughter. We are deeply grateful for the way she represented us, taught us our rights, supported us in every matter we brought up, and worked tirelessly and with great care to resolve our issues through trust and collaboration. We’re so glad you’re here, Veronica — and of course Bruce, whose experience and presence gave us great confidence.

Bruce Engle was part of a Dream team of lawyers and they destroyed the crowns in big case. I hired Bruce after I heard of the case he was involved with and he helped me. I highly recommend Bruce Engle

My defense lawyer quit

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional defense provided by criminal defense attorney Nicholas Valsamis.

Thanks to Nickolas, I have been able to clear my name and move forward with my life. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a highly skilled and compassionate defense attorney. Thank you so much, Nickolas, for everything you've done for me. Alex Lagasse.

Bruce Engel and his entire team (shout out to co-counsel Tamara Bubis) are to be congratulated for their professionalism, expertise and care for a family member who was recently dealing with multiple charges. Bruce is extremely organized and relentless in obtaining every piece of evidence that ultimately resulted in the complete acquittal of all charges. Bruce and his team were readily available for calls/texts. Bruce’s command of the evidence, criminal law and courtroom procedure was in a word – impressive – and this allowed for the best possible case being put forward in a persuasive and compelling manner. I can’t imagine being in anyone else’s hands. Bruce’s and Tamara’s unwavering belief in the case was sincere and authentic and was clear to all involved. We were not just “another client” but people who he cared about. I highly recommend you retain Bruce Engel and Associates. You will be in excellent hands and put yourself in the best position to win.

I first reached out to Bruce and associates when I was first charged in February of 2022. The day I reached out he had me in the same day. Bruce and Tamara were swift with taking the responsibility of the case onto their shoulders allowing me to sit easy. Though the entire case Bruce and Tamara handled everything. Contacting me when needed. Throughout the entire process I knew Bruce and his team believed me entirely. While they didn’t offer a guarantee of an outcome, what the did guarantee was that they would be well prepared and well versed on the law. When trial arrived Bruce was swift and to the point with his preparation for my testimony. And in the court room he really showed his attention to detail pointing out facts that were clear but others including the crown did not observe. His due diligence with facts and details lead to the success of the trial. Bruce was respectful and fair to all parties and the judge had respect towards him though it was her first time meeting him.

Bruce Engel and his entire team (shout out to co-counsel Tamara Bubis who is an impressive expert in criminal law) are to be congratulated for their professionalism, tenacity, expertise and genuine care for a family member who was recently dealing with multiple criminal charges. Bruce is extremely organized, and relentless in obtaining every piece of evidence that ultimately resulted in the complete acquittal of all charges against the family member. Bruce was extremely thorough in witness preparation and ensured that all witnesses and the family member who testified, where thoroughly prepared for court. Bruce patiently and clearly detailed and explained what to expect in court so that when the trial occurred, everyone was prepared, ready and at ease knowing that we were in such expert hands. There were no surprises when we got to court and that was reassuring for all involved. It should also be noted that Bruce is extremely strategic in his planning, and this facilitated excellent courtroom execution of the case with no stone left unturned in defense of our family member. Bruce and Tamara were readily available for calls or texts (evening and even weekends!) and very quickly returned our messages and answered our questions clearly and reassuringly. During the trial, Bruce’s command of the evidence, criminal law and courtroom procedure was in a word – impressive – and this allowed for the best possible case being put forward in a cohesive, persuasive and compelling manner. His skill in cross-examination is second to none and extraordinarily effective. I can’t imagine being in anyone else’s hand with so much a stake in a criminal trial. Bruce’s and Tamara’s unwavering belief in the family member’s case was genuine, sincere and authentic and this was clear to all involved and meant a lot to us. We were not just “another client” but were people who he cared about, and it showed. If you need a lawyer for a criminal charge, I highly recommend and encourage you to retain Bruce Engel and Associates. You will be in excellent hands, receive expert and experienced representation, and put yourself in the best position to win.

Bruce Engel is a very professional lawyer, that will fight for you and with you by your side. He was able to get all my charges acquitted(Alcohol over 80mg, careless and leaving the scene). Throughout the pre-trial/trial he was honest, and straight foward with what could happen, and kept me feeling ok even when i was at my highest stress level. I wouldn't recommend anyone else other then Bruce Engel & associates, Thank you for your hard work Bruce. 10/10 lawyer!

Integrity and professionalism.

Bruce and crew are the best 👌 what can I say. They aim to win!!

I highly recommend choosing Bruce as a lawyer. I had an outstanding experience working with him. He was attentive, kind, and dilligent. The thing I appreciated the most from Bruce was his calls to check-in on me, as I was highly anxious throughout the duration of my problem, and had made a couple frantic calls to him in which he eased my nerves within minutes. Again, never hesitate to reach out to Bruce. Thanks again to him and his amazing team!

I'm very thankful that I worked with Bruce. He is not only experienced and knowledgeable about the law but he empathizes without compromising the facts. He will present all possible options for your case and guide you through to make the right decision. I appreciate very much that he is responsive including over weekends and after work hours. As many have said, he is upfront and yet kind and reassuring that he will do his best to complete or close the case. I highly recommend his firm and would not even think twice. For your freedom, you want the BEST Ottawa lawyer to represent you.

Mr. Engel was very nice, extremely professional, and infinitely helpful. He changed my life for the better. I am happy now. In fact, he is the only lawyer I will use in the future. He made me feel confident, powerful and able to get what I want, and his voice was very calming, soothing during my stressful moments. He really knows the law, and has confidence in his ability. I highly reccommend Mr. Bruce Engel, from Engel and Associates, in Ottawa, ON. Dawna Twerd

Kevin Weinstein is great at what he does! He works very hard on your case and definitely knows his stuff. He saved me from ending up with a criminal record

Mr. Bruce Engel is highly respected in the legal community and by former clients – he came recommended by a number of other lawyers and individuals I am acquainted with when I found myself forced to defend a number of allegations brought against me. I am grateful that Bruce took my case. Bruce is one of the kindest, most honest, supportive, professional, competent and knowledgeable people I have met. Bruce kept me updated on my case from day one and has been honest and straightforward throughout the entire process. I was anxious and unsure of what to expect, but Bruce is understanding, down to earth, straightforward and has a sense of humour that helps ease anxiety that comes with a challenging situation. He is an exceptional lawyer and did everything he could to ensure that I ended up with the best result possible. I trust Bruce completely and I do not believe that things would have turned out as well as they did with any other lawyer. No lawyer can guarantee an outcome, but I have no doubt that Bruce works incredibly hard and does everything possible to achieve the best outcome possible. I have 100% confidence that he was not only the best choice for me, but is the best choice for anyone who finds themselves dealing with the legal system in any capacity.

Kevin did an amazing job at settling my matter and did within a short time thanks Kevin

BRUCE...He is God sent. He has helped our family like nobody could have done. He is honest trusting loyal and goes after everything he believes is right. He brings justice to the honest. Wonderful wondeefil man. We love you thankyou a million times and more.

I retained Kevin as my lawyer and he’s been great! Very easy to get a hold of, he’s answered all my questions, very professional, and while my case isn’t quite over yet- He’s gotten me a deal that I’m fairly pleased with. Would highly recommend him

Great lawyer! Would highly recommend him. He’s very easy to get a hold of, always answers my questions promptly, seems to really know what he’s doing. So far he’s got me a pretty good outcome so I can stay record free.

I am pleased with my dealings with Bruce Engel. From the moment we talked, he put me at ease. My phone calls were returned. When we met for the first time, he was kind and very professional. He went through the charges with explanations. I appreciated so much that he went to courts date so my husband did not have to go. I also had much correspondence with his associate Nadia who also made time for my questions. I am very confident that my husband has gotten the best criminal lawyer.

Have had Bruce for years and he is a real concise, talented, caring, lawyer. He reasently won me freedom from parole so on cloud 9 .. definetly try him out !

There is nothing worse than being wrongly accused of an offence you did not commit. My phone call to Bruce Engel was one of the best decisions I made at a terrible time in my life. He was kind, caring, extremely knowledgeable and ALWAYS available when I needed him. His tenacity and dedication to my case were paramount which resulted in the dismissal of my charges. I could not have done it without Bruce and his team of exceptional support staff. If you find yourself in a position where you need criminal defence, call Bruce Engel. He will take wonderful care of you.

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 assault and sexual interference 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 defense 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. MCJ Ren-Leduc

Delivered what they promised

Bruce Engel is a very professional and awesome criminal defence attorney. His legal fees for our difficult case were high, but you get what you pay for. My husband was wrongfully accused of sexual assault charges against a minor and could have faced prison time if convicted. In meeting with him, it was apparent that he didn’t sugar coat things, would rather speak to us face to face and that was he was very caring and understanding. This nightmare caused unimaginable stress for us and he was there even late at night to put my mind at ease (24/7). We were together the three of us a team. He can play hard ball and will if he needs to. This could have ended so badly for my husband and ruined his entire life, BUT Bruce won our case and our nightmare is over. On a funny side note 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 . We thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to our family J Rennick

I have worked with Bruce and Kevin recently in regards to a refusal to provide a breath sample. Bruce and Kevin took the time to work on the file and discussed all my options. They are transparent and honest with the entire process. I was completely satisfied with their services where no the file remains closed. My brother luckily avoided getting a criminal record. Thank you for the wonderful service and I would definitely recommend this firm with confidence. Best of luck to the Engel & Associates Professional Corporation. - Sabbir

Bruce was both compassionate and forthright. He communicated very well with us and managed our expectations including being up front about the potential cost. He did exactly what he said he was going to do in his approach with our son's case and kept us informed along the way. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We were all thrilled with a positive outcome. Although we hope to never have need we would not hesitate to hire him again. I can recommend Bruce without hesitation.

Elena Davies is a AMAZING lawyer she is efficient, courteous and most of all knows her stuff. Highly recommended!

Bruce is an excellent lawyer. Highly professional and savvy in the court room. His staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

He's one of the best. Great karisma. Your go to guy when the chips are down. His staff at his office are marvelous.

Bruce was exactly the guy I was looking for. He explained everything and simplified the whole process with me. He is patient and caring and he and his team devised and implimented a winning strategy that save my future. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody in the future.

I was in need of an Ottawa criminal lawyer-when I along with my two friends was arrested by Ottawa police with a charge of rush driving in a drunken state. We requested police but they take us away with them and furnished before a court with a charge of criminal case. According to the suggestion of one of friends I hired a professional Ottawa criminal lawyer from Engel and Associates. He was well known as an expert Ottawa assault lawyer. His valuable advice and dealing help me get out of the danger. I would like to give me credit of one of the best Ottawa impaired driving lawyers. Thank you Engel and Associates.

Bruce is empathetic, but expensive. It is my first experience with a lawyer but he spent time talking to me on the phone when I was in crisis, and got me the best judge possible. He is trustworthy.

Bruce Engel is brilliant lawyer and having knowledge of criminal legal concepts and a better understanding of client needs.I never think twice in referring clients to him. He is constantly reporting on new case law,and is very experienced about innovative places of law. He is a best criminal lawyer in Ottawa and he is very straightforward ,understanding and of course,an excellent lawyer.

Only one word; FANTASTIC! I don’t have any detail about the case but I will say this; you DEFINITELY want Bruce Engel as your lawyer. Bruce fought for me the entire way through and there for, I received the best possible result. Bruce really knows his stuff and has the past good experience to prove it. Bruce is KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL, AGGRESSIVE, and BEST criminal lawyer in Ottawa. He always gives proper response of phone calls and text messages. One of my favorite things about him is how much he really cares about his clients. I don't think I have ever seen any lawyer that cares more about his clients and what happens to them. Bruce knows very well, how to make a client feel comfortable and relax. Seriously, if you are looking for the best lawyer, hire Bruce Engel.

Excellent defense attorney!!!! Dismissed a possession with intent to sale change in a flash!! I had to see the judge only once, all the other work done behind the scene by the lawyers. Elena Davies is perfect criminal lawyers in Ottawa. Very professional!!! Great service!!! Experienced and knowledgeable!!! thank you for your advice and help.

Ottawa criminal lawyer, Ottawa fraud lawyer, Ottawa assault lawyer, Ottawa drug lawyers, Ottawa impaired driving lawyers.

Bruce not only walked me through the process every step of the way, but he was also available at ALL times. With such a high reputation from all the high profile cases he's done in Canada let alone Ottawa you'd expect a little bit of arrogance from him. Mr. Engel treats you like you're his only client and runs an overall first class practice.

I was visiting to Ottawa and i had car accident on the road, I need a lawyer. Thank goodness I had a friend who recommended Bruce Engel to me. I called him right away. He was able to not only get the case almost completely dismissed, but also he handled everything for me. I did not even have to go. I hope I never need him again, but just in case, it is nice to know that a great criminal lawyer is out there. I recommend Bruce Engel very highly in Ottawa!!!!!!!!!!!

Bruce destroyed a key Crown witness during a seething cross examination which allowed me to keep my criminal record clear. Hire Bruce without even thinking of anybody else if you find yourself in trouble.

Bruce did a great job for me on my case. He was thoughtful, strategic, and always kept me updated throughout the process. If you ever find yourself in trouble, call him. He is very accessible.

I am a lawyer who does not practice criminal law but any of my clients who require a criminal lawyer are immediately referred to Bruce. He is honest, precise in his advice and knowledgeable in every aspect of criminal law. Most importantly Bruce cares about every client I have referred to him. He genuinely appreciates the anxiety involved in any criminal proceeding and works tirelessly to ensure the BEST possible outcome for his clients.

When I was at my lowest point and not receiving any answers or help I decided to pick up the phone and call a new lawyer. I was connected with Bruce immediately and he has changed my life. He gave me direction and clear and concise advice on how to move forward and it worked! He spoke to me and met with me and he was knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation and I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal help.

A friend and I were coaccused of a very serious crime. He hired another lawyer while I retained Bruce at almost twice of what he paid. Bruce was always avaialable and promptly responded to me, while my friend never received return calls or emails. He was found guilty while I was acquitted. I guess that you really do get what you pay for!!

Bruce recently represented me and was instrumental in convincing the judge to withdraw the charges against me. Both he and his staff guided me throughout this terrible and stressful ordeal. Whenever I called the office, I got a live person and I was always able to track Bruce down even after hours. Dont think twice about retaining him if you evder find yourself in trouble!!!

Not Guilty on all 22 charges is what the judge said. Mr. Engel shook my hand and with that ended a 2 1/2 year nightmare. The only good thing to come of that was that I got to meet Mr. Engel. As someone who never so much as got a speeding ticket, Mr. Engel helped me navigate the dangerous waters of the criminal justice system in an organized, calm, and professional manner. He treated me with respect and always included me in the planning of my defence. I now truly appreciate the value of criminal lawyers and am forever grateful for Mr. Engel's skills and patience throuhout! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Bruce and his team did a great job on my case. I was facing some serious charges because of my ex-girlfriend. She made up charges so that she would get custody of the kids. Bruce worked hard on my case right from the beginning and all the way to the end. Bruce made sure that my false charges were withdrawn. Well worth the money. Thanks, Bruce.

I was a first time offender for a serious charge and hired Bruce after meeting an initial lawyer who instilled no confidence in me. Bruce was to the point, very professional, put me at ease and re-assured me he would do everything in his power. At the same time he didn't sugar coat things, which may come off strong to some but I would prefer open honestly so I can be prepared for the worst, instead of just hoping for the best. My situation is ongoing but the results he obtained are more than I ever expected with a positive outcome in sight. Bruce and all his staff have been very attentive, caring and nurturing through this alien process I found myself in - I couldn't have made it through without them. I don't know what other lawyer fees normally go for, but Bruce was worth every penny!

Mr. Engel took my case, told me to go home am get on with my life, and he would look after my careless driving charge. I did what he said, and he did what he said. I could not have asked for a better outcome! Bruce was awesome.

Bruce did a great job on my case. I was charged with a DUI a while back so I hired Bruce. Bruce is not the cheapest lawyer, but you get what you pay for - and this guy is a quality lawyer and very professional. Bruce got me back driving again and I can't thank him enough!! I hope I don't need a criminal lawyer again, but if I do, I know I am calling him.

I give Bruce Engel 120% satisfaction rating. Bruce Engel saved my life when I was in deep deep trouble and found myself and my charter of rights violated by the police services and correctional services. Bruce Engel says it like it is and presents the facts as they are. Honesty, integrity, loyalty and professionalism are words that strongly support the practice and experience of Bruce Engel. He is punctual, understanding, responds to communication promptly and his support staff are sharp and stands as a solid legal team. I owe Bruce Engel my life. It's because he stood up for me and my case, that today, I have a banking career and a solid future ahead of me. I recommand Bruce Engel to anyone who wants a reliable lawyer with the courage to confront the courts/crown and stand for what is right. He saved my life and proved himself by restoring my name and faith in the legal system. Bruce Engel 120%. Again, if you want a REAL LAWYER, call Bruce Engel. You couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

I was very satisfied with Mr Engels recent representation. He is very thorough and was very sensitive to my legal needs. He is quite expensive but has allowed me time to pay. He did a great job from beginning to end and I got off on some very seriouis charges. I highly recommend him!

Very Very effective in helpingme thru a rough patch in my life. Very good at keeping me updated and returned my calls. The judge also repected him.
