 A dynamic speaker and communicator, Steve Bruneman, brings invaluable insight with his straightforward and fun loving approach to the topic of relationship education. With his natural ability to connect and engage the audience, Steve delivers an educational, inspirational, and motivational message that arms his participants with knowledge and techniques designed to improve their relationshipand themselves.
Steve is an expert in divorce law and has represented divorce clients for the majority of his legal career dating back to 1981. He is a Board Certified Family Law Specialist, certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell. He has been designated a Texas Super Lawyer by Law&Politics Magazine as voted by his peers and published in Texas Monthly Magazine. Steve is a named partner in his current law firm and is an active trial lawyer in Dallas and surrounding counties.
During the past three decades, Steve has listened to what many hundreds of unhappy people have described to him about the failure of their marriages. He sees clients at the worst time of their lives, some of whom have been suicidal early in the process. He has seen the effects of divorce upon many people individually, upon their children and their extended family and he knows first-hand that fairy tales very often don't have happy endings.
As divorce lawyers, Steve and his partners at Bruneman, Lake, Griffin & Westhoff, PLLC make every attempt to minimize the destruction that is inherent in divorce. Divorce doesn’t have to be an ugly process, nor should it result in scorched earth. In many cases, skilled divorce lawyers can act to reduce the emotional and financial damage that occurs during that process. Steve and his partners take pride in working toward that goal in every case they handle. Divorce with dignity is possible. This is the environment Steve has been surrounded by professionally the majority of his life, and it has enabled him to become very good at what he does.
Because Steve works hard representing clients in their family law cases during the workweek, he is a true paradox by helping others improve their relationships on weekends. When his own marriage ended in divorce after 20 years, he was so profoundly affected by emotional pain that it inspired him to create this seminar. He has seen that pain in others consistently over the years but until his own divorce, he had never felt that pain himself. Steve never conceived that he himself would ever be divorced, but the unbelievable DID happen to his family and he is living proof that NO ONE is immune to it.
As good as he is at representing clients in family law matters, Steve also excels at giving people hope and ideas on how to keep their relationships strong or make them even better. As the result of his education, professional and personal experiences, he has formulated and now shares theories, strategies and techniques to help couples increase the odds of fulfilling their vows to each other of lifetime commitment. People often ask him, "Why are there so many divorces"? While there is no single answer of course, he shares a lot of insight into that question and does have answers. He is passionate about this topic and can speak about it for hours.
Steve believes that we, as a society, must restore the intact family unit as the norm rather than the exception. We owe that to our children and to ourselves. |
