Bruno Ponce

Bruno Ponce is an attorney with Columbia Legal Services in Yakima, Washington. The attorney is also a member of the Washington Employment Lawyers Association (WELA), an association of employment lawyers whose stated mission is to enforce and advance employee rights. In addition, the WELA member directory lists the attorney under Civil Rights, Employment Discrimination and Class Actions.

Before you hire any lawyer, however, it is a good idea to confirm the license yourself. For example, you can look the attorney up in the Washington State Bar Association's online lawyer directory, which shows whether a lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Because we built this profile from public directory information, some details may also be out of date, so confirm anything important directly with the office.
