David Bruno

I’m a founding partner at Bianchi Law Group, where I lead a team of former prosecutors handling criminal defense and domestic violence cases across New Jersey. As a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney by the New Jersey Supreme Court (certified 2013, recertified 2018, 2023) and former Morris County Assistant Prosecutor, I bring extensive courtroom experience to both my legal practice and my work as a regular national legal analyst on networks including Court TV. Beyond the courtroom and media, I’m a passionate advocate for attorney wellness, dedicating myself to helping legal professionals thrive in this demanding profession. My commitment to wellness extends throughout my career. I serve as Chair of the Membership Committee and Trustee in the Criminal Law Section for the New Jersey State Bar Association, where I’m also a member of the Lawyer Well-Being Committee. I’ve been a board member of the New Jersey Prevention Network (NJPN) since 2016 and serve as a Trustee of the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers of New Jersey. I’m also a Certified Facilitator in “The Daring Way” methodology by Dr. Brené Brown. My LinkedIn newsletter “Law Life: Thriving as a Lawyer” reaches over 1,000 subscribers weekly, sharing practical insights on balancing legal practice with well-being. As a TEDx speaker, I presented “Reclaiming Time: A Trial Lawyer’s Journey to Inner Counsel,” and I’ve delivered attorney wellness keynotes for Clio and the New Jersey State Bar Association, offering practical strategies for managing stress and building resilience. I co-host “Nothing But The Truth” podcast, where I’ve had the privilege of interviewing inspiring guests including fitness icon Jillian Michaels, Fox News anchor Shannon Bream, and Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole, exploring themes of excellence, resilience, and success. After experiencing burnout during COVID-19, I transformed my approach through daily habits including journaling, exercise, and intentional focus on what I call “the rails” (Faith, Relationships, Body & Mind, Business & Learning). Now I’m committed to helping other legal professionals eliminate distractions, build resilience, and thrive in this demanding profession while maintaining wellness and balance. This commitment extends to serving our clients at Bianchi Law Group with compassion and excellence, contributing to our legal community through service and mentorship, and making a positive impact in the communities we serve.
