Sandy Bruce Law

About Sandy Bruce Law

Sandy Bruce Law is a sole law practice based in Woodstock, Ontario, run by lawyer R. Sandy Bruce from an office on Hunter Street in the city's downtown core. Bruce was called to the Ontario bar in 2002 and opened the Oxford County office in 2005, after starting out at law firms of different sizes. Since then the practice has narrowed to three areas: family law, criminal law, and wills and estate planning, with Bruce appearing before every level of court in Ontario.

Before law school, Bruce completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts at Laurentian University in 1996 and a Master of Arts in History at Western University in 1997, then a Bachelor of Laws, also at Western, in 2000. The family law side of the practice covers separation and divorce, decision-making and parenting time, child and spousal support, division of property, and domestic contracts such as cohabitation, marriage, and separation agreements. The criminal defence work spans bail hearings, negotiations with the Crown, and trials, and the wills and estates practice handles will preparation, estate planning, and powers of attorney. According to the firm's website, Bruce favours negotiated settlements where possible but will take a matter to trial when that serves the client better.
