Below are statements of support from real families that Bruce helped through trying times. There are also statements from colleagues and others who know and respect Bruce for the work he has done for his clients.
Jack Kananian (R) Brecksville, OH (former client)
"Bruce, I couldn't think of a more fair, decent judge than you. I want to wish you the best of luck. I know you will win, and do your family proud."
Violet Rettig, Defiance, OH (former client)
Good luck! You'll make a great judge. You sure did well with us. We appreciate all your kindness, and believe me, we sure needed that.
(Note: The Rettigs made new law in Ohio regarding the responsibility of premises owners to tradesmen who were exposed to deadly substances. Rettig v. Gen. Motors Corp., 2006-Ohio-6576.
R. Bryan Nace (R), Law Office of R. Bryan Nace, Akron, OH
Bruce Carter worked for me in 1992 after he first got out of law school, and even after he left our office we continued to work together in various ways over the years. Thus I have seen Bruce develop from the time he started out, through the time he worked for some large law firms, and then later in his own successful law practice. And although Bruce initially worked for me, in the long run I have learned more from Bruce than he from me. Bruce Carter's creativity and resourcefulness in seeking solutions to legal problems has never ceased to amaze me. Bruce does not just blindly follow what other lawyers have done, but looks for a better way to do things. With Bruce Carter's substantial litigation experience and his ability to think through complex legal issues, I believe he would make an outstanding Court of Appeals judge.
Jane Fitch (R), Fitch Reporting, Inc., West Chester, OH
"I have known Bruce and his family for over a decade. As a court reporter, I have seen Bruce many times in his role as a caring and compassionate advocate for his elderly clients in depositions in Butler and Cuyahoga County, Ohio as well as in depositions and in trial in Florida and Wisconsin. I have seen him stand up to judges in order to protect his clients. I can state from personal experience that Bruce is a person who deeply cares about people. I am proud to be able to also call him my friend."
