About Bruce

Serving Boulder, Denver & All of Colorado

Bruce Wiener, P.C. is devoted exclusively to family law & divorce litigation in Colorado.

Bruce has been practicing family law in Colorado since 2012. In 2013, Bruce founded Bridge to Justice, a 501(c)(3) non-profit law firm serving low- and moderate-income Coloradans in family law, landlord-tenant, and other civil disputes. Prior to the formation of Bridge to Justice, Bruce practiced labor and employment law and general civil litigation at a corporate law firm in New York City.
