Bruce Casino Attorney

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Bruce Deifik, the Colorado developer who lost a fortune running a struggling Atlantic City casino for six months, was killed in a single-car crash in Denver. My husband (who is a health care attorney) and I are very grateful to Bruce and his stellar work on our behalf – we received a $2.3 million judgment against an individual surgeon. Bruce never lost focus, faith or patience during the approximately 5-year period between filing and decision. Strategically, Bruce was sublime.
