Bruce Loren Karey

My family hired Mr. Karey to represent a family member. My brother is a licensed Real Estate Broker. My brother was allowing our cousin to rent one of the condo residential properties he owned. Our cousin was on federal drug and gun smuggling parole. My cousin began using the condo as a staging p...oint for drug deals. A drug task force arrested our cousin. Later the same task force came into my brother's home, at 2am, and arrested him while he was sleeping. My brother was charged a felony. The task force seized $190,000 cash my brother had in his own condo. Mr. Karey was hired later the same day (approx 20 hours after my brother was arrested). Mr. Karey arranged for a bail bond agent to bail my brother to be bailed out of LA Jail one hour before the DA "faxed" to the jail a "1275 bail hold order". Mr. Karey then was able to postpone the "1275 bail hold order" hearing for over a year. At the conclusion of the "1275 bail hold order" hearing the Judge ruled in my brother's favor and allowed him to remain on bail.. Mr. Karey then lined up alibi witnesses (19 in number), and character reputation witnesses (including my brother's ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law). More importantly, Mr. Karey secured the assistance of the best forensic accountant who was able to prove that my brother had acquired the $190,000 legitimately. Ultimately the DA's office agreed to simply dismiss the charges after a two and a half year fight.
