Unlawful Detainer Expert

Dominic and Bonnie did an excellent job handling my eviction and stopping the bleeding. I have done two evictions 30 years apart from one another and Dominic handled both. It made the process very easy. The first was involved a dilapidated boat stored on my parents property by a tenant who sto...pped paying rent and was not stable. It required an order, an auction, and getting rid of the boat. More recently an alcoholic tenant who stopped paying rent and started destroying the property. I am an attorney, and probably could have figured out how to do one these myself. But the time I saved was well worth the retainer. Dominic is very knowledgeable about the court process, and practical considerations. Had I attempted this myself, I would have not be able to obtain a money judgment. Bonnie and Dominic did everything from filing to effectuating service on the tenant who had holed up in the property to getting a default judgment. Very thankful to have them on my side.

TRUTANICH WINS AGAIN!

Mr. Trutanich helped me with a Landlord/Tenant matter in 2012. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. It was readily apparent in the courtroom that he knew much more than the other party's attorney. In addition, his courtroom demeanor and tactics, as well as his ability t...o argue a case, easily outshined the other lawyer. We won the case, including our attorney fees and court cost! There is NO WAY I could have achieved this result with ANY other Attorney!!! Anybody who says anything different, is a liar or a competitor - because this guy is GREAT!

Our family has worked very hard for what we have and do not air our differences in the courts. However when we were dragged into court we consulted and hired Trutanich to represent us in a relatively simple case that he stated would involve a few hours (5-6 of research work it be exact.) With no wa...rning, he handed the case over to a staff member who was the epitome of dull, uninspiring, vague, tongue tied, unprofessional counsel I have ever met. The bulk his counsel involved trying to get us to settle on a clear cut, unfair case that was outrageous to begin with. Then he tried to quit the case a couple of weeks before trial ,leaving us to seek other counsel, thankfully the intelligent judge in the case could see the specious argument that was being presented by the other side and the case never even had to go to trial . Aside from asking for money (3x what we expected costs to be) and then trying to have us settle and pay more for something for which we had no culpability, this firm is useless. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from them possible, any first year law student can give you better advise.
