About Us

Attorney Bruce A. Bierhans

For more than 28 years, Attorney Bruce A. Bierhans has been winning cases and client confidence. Today, Bierhans and his staff at the Law Offices of Bruce Bierhans, provide clients with the highest quality of personalized and responsive legal services.

Bruce graduated from Suffolk Law School in 1982. While attending Law School at night, he worked as a senior aide in the Massachusetts Senate. Upon graduation, he began a trial practice in Canton, Massachusetts, and moved his practice to Boston in 1985. He remained in Boston until 1997, at which time he decided to return to the suburbs due to his desire to create a suburban firm that would give his business and litigation clients the same quality of legal service that they could obtain in the city, at a more reasonable cost.

The firm has grown steadily since that time. In the past twenty-eight years, Bruce has successfully tried cases in the areas of business law, criminal law, products liability, medical malpractice and general negligence. Many of his business clients have been with him for most of his twenty-eight years in practice. He prides himself on taking on challenges that other lawyers have turned down. He has fought, and continues to fight for "the little guy", whether it be an individual or business. He has lectured nationally, to lawyers and physicians, on matters related to trial practice and has maintained an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell since 1987; the highest rating available for both skill and legal ethics. He is listed in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register for Preeminent Lawyers.

Bruce and his wife Nancy, who is the firm's office manager, satisfy their love of the ocean by residing in Wellfleet, Mass. Bruce is involved extensively in local charitable and non-profit organizations. He is on the Board of Directors of Wellfleet Preservation Hall, Inc. and the Payomet Center for the Performing Arts and is also the current President and Chairman of Outer Cape Health Services.

Attorney Michael P. Marnik

Mr. Marnik was educated at the College of the Holy Cross and Villanova University School of Law, following which he served a tour with the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General Corps.  Most of his extensive experience, of 40 years, in private practice was as the managing and founding partner for a North Shore law firm specializing in the defense of personal injury cases and residential conveyancing.  Bar groups have called upon him on several occasions to speak on trial technique and valuation of cases.   Michael also has been a trusted legal advisor to many individual consumers, and also large and small entrepreneurial businesses, from savings banks to start-ups. He has acted as a conciliator in the Superior and District Courts, for many years, and is recognized as an expert in alternate dispute resolution.  By far his greatest credential is his sense and wisdom in the trial of cases, of lengths from a day to 5 weeks, from one end to the Commonwealth to the other.  Michael is recognized by the American Board of Trial Advocates for excellence.

Michael and his wife Elia reside in Orleans, where they both are active in non-profit organizations.  However, they also find time to nurture 10 grandchildren, to cook, play golf and dance.
