Rosalie M. Cruz

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.  My husband and I are the proud parents of a beautiful two-year-old boy.  When I am not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and relaxing at the beach.

My passion is try out and learn new activities and hobbies.  For example, snorkeling, dance classes, driving stick shift, learning how to play golf and other sports.

I have focused my legal career in the area of divorce and family law and have handled various matters involving child-custody related matters and relocations, child support, divorces, paternity, dependency and domestic violence matters.

Education & Prior Affiliations

Family law has been in my blood from my early education and throughout my law career. Prior to attending law school, and immediately after graduating high school, I worked at a personal injury firm and then at family law firm as a legal assistant and paralegal.

Shortly thereafter, I had the opportunity to work at the Palm Beach County Courthouse as a Family Court Magistrate’s Assistant for five years.  These experiences helped me realize that my passion was in divorce and family law, which I knew I wanted to focus on when I became an attorney.

I followed up to obtain my law degree at Florida International University and during law school I assisted clients through the Family Law and Education Clinic and did my externship with the Honorable Gill S. Freeman.

Prior to joining Bruce Law Firm, I ran my own divorce and family law practice for several years with my principal office located in Miami-Dade County. I served clients in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties.

At the Bruce Law Firm, our goal is to assist our clients obtain an amicable resolution in their case as quickly and efficiently as possible.  If an amicable resolution is not a possibility, we aggressively strive to obtain the best results for our client at both the trial and appellate level.
