I have practiced law my entire career in Wilmington, Delaware. After graduating from Emory University School of Law in 1982 I became a deputy attorney general in the criminal division of the Delaware Department of Justice. I was a prosecutor for approximatel 3 years until I transitioned to private practice where I handled criminal defense cases and personal injury and worker's compensation cases. I have handled every type of criminal case from traffic tickets to capital murder cases. I have appeared in every State and Federal court in Delaware. I have had the occasion to appear before the Delaware Supreme Court in over 10 cases which is a unique distinction. I have been appointed by Superior Court judges to represent 3 capital murder defendants, which I believe reflects their respect for my competence and experience. I have been a trial lawyer for over 30 years.  My philosophy is to "imagine that I am the client" when I represent people as that serves to set the expectation as to how to properly assist each client. In addition to practicing law I have attempted to give back to my community in a number of ways. I was a board member on the Brandywine School District Board of Education from 1991 to 1996. I was appointed by Governor Carper to serve on the Advisory Council to the Delaware Department of Children, Youth and their Families. I was appointed by Governor Minner to serve on the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association. I am a board member of the Maplewood Senior Center. I have volunteered as a youth soccer, basketball, football and roller hockey coach. I am divorced and have three adult children.

Bruce L. Hudson was born, raised, and educated in Delaware. He has spent his entire, almost 40-year, law career representing victims of accidents and medical malpractice in his home state.. Named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers Association, and a Super Lawyer by Superlawyer Magazine, Hudson’s decision to become a lawyer came a little later than most. After receiving his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Delaware, he found that work as an economist in the Delaware State Planning Office was not for him. He subsequently earned his law degree from Widener University, and immediately opened his own law practice. Rather than joining a large firm, he relished the challenge of making it on his own. Hudson preferred the personal touch of working for and helping individuals, rather than moving money between companies. It didn’t take long before his successful business began to concentrate on representing victims in serious injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases. There is nothing more important to Hudson than using his extensive legal skills and knowledge of his native state to make a difference in people’s lives.. Bruce Hudson’s good friend and fellow lawyer, Ben Castle, had retired from a large Wilmington, DE law firm, when the two decided in 2011 to merge their decades of experience. Hudson likes that they remain a small firm and still approach each case with passion and dedication. Their size allows them to focus their energy, time, and resources on a smaller volume of cases, giving them greater flexibility and independence to react quickly whenever a case requires it. “Each case is not just a file. We get to know clients by name and face and become integrated into their lives,” said Hudson.. Being a small firm, however, does not limit Hudson & Castle to small cases. Ben and Bruce recently completed a three-year case as lead counsel in representing hundreds of victims in the class action against the pedophile pediatrician, Earl Bradley. Over 1200 victims were affirmatively identified and compensated by the $123,000,000 settlement that makes this case the largest number of victims by a single pedophile ever documented.
