Bad Experience

I hired Tim Pittullo for my family law case. I let him go due to quality and performance issues. I experienced the following: 1. Late to hearings and meetings 2. Not prompt in returning phone calls 3. Used vulgar language 4. Slurred speech 5. Sloppy follow-up case details 6. Missed detail...s on OSC documents 7. Did not perform proper discovery 8. Double billed 9. Rude support staff 10. Yelled at the opposing attorney and displayed embarrassing behavior. I then distanced myself as I did not desire my case or reputation to be soiled by Tim's behavior 11. Advised me to do unethical things such as lying about my income and fudge expenses. I did not engage in his poor advice and that was the last straw. I do not recommend this attorney or the Law Firm of P. Timothy Pittullo Esq.

Top Notch Attorney

Mr. Pittullo helped me with a child custody matter in the late 1990's. Before I hired him I went to the courthouse to watch another attorney (who I was contemplating hiring) perform in the Rancho Cucamonga court house. Coincidentally, Mr. Pittullo happened to be representing someone that day and th...ey had a hearing. I was blown away by his performance. He commanded the court with his unbelievable knowledge and style. I said to myself, I have to have him for an attorney. After the hearing, I quickly followed him outside the courtroom and got his business card. Later that week, I hired him as my attorney. That proved to be the best decision I ever made for my then 8 year old son. He helped get us permanent custody with supervised visitations for my son's abusive mother. I have not spoken to Mr. Pittullo since then, but as I came across this page, I decided I have to let the world know how grateful I was then and still am today. My son was literally saved from a very dire situation, and all other attorney told me I stood zero chance to win. This man fought for me and won bigger than I ever imagined. I hope he is today as good as he was then. I would definitely recommend him as a lawyer for anyone who needs a family law attorney. You can go watch him for yourself in court. You will not be disappointed.

In good hands

After a year of seemingly getting nowhere, in a drawnout dispute over custody and visitation, I hired the law offices of Pitulo Barker to take over my case. Having worked with a number of attorneys prior, I was acutely aware of the frustration at seeing my case handled In an incompetent matter. My... previous attorneys filed numerous motions and racked up enormous fees while accomplishing little. From my first consultation with Mr. Pitulo, he spelled out, in no uncertain terms, The percentage of success rate that I had for the various aspects of my case. Afterwards we mapped out a clear strategy on moving ahead. Mr. Pitulo was truly brilliant in the court room and is certainly one of the best litigators I have ever witnessed. The result was that I was able to reach a settlement with my ex-wife in a very short amount of time for far less than I had expected. The law offices continue to serve me as any issues arise in the execution of the court order. I would most definitely recommend this law office for any family related issues.

Pittullo and Team

Mr Pittullo and his team are expert in their representation. They worked to help ensure 50% / 50% custody and a fair financial settlement in the face of unrealistic spouse expectations and opposing counsel that unscrupulously tried to drag out the process to his personal benefit. I would recommend ...and would personally use Mr. Pittullo and his team again if faced with family legal issues.

Grateful

Sometimes one wishes to meet and individual in a normal situation; however, I was introduced to Mr. Pittullo based on my need to have the best to represent my kids and I. After our first meeting I felt I had made the right choice to keep my kids safe and allow due process for all the circumstances t...hat were to come. I had the tremendous pleasure of having known Mr. Pittullo in different levels: professional, among his peers, in a personal basis as "father to father" and of course in court, his environment. It is truly amazing to see how Judges just love to hear him speak and verbalize Family Law; it is an experience I will not forget. Mr. Pittullo obviously followed his heart and became a great lawyer, I feel honored to have worked with such a man. Mr Pittullo is a man of integrity, and will not lower his standards to fight dirty or create scenarios to help his clients lie; I was impressed by his honesty, sincerity, class, demeanor even though he was treated in a very disrespectful way ... a class act. Did we have our encounters? Of course we did. It was my lack of knowledge, fear of the unknown, second guessing some situations and decisions, because my kids were at stake. I felt totally out of place questioning such a reputable man of the Law; however, Mr. Pittullo listened, sometimes lost his temper a bit because of my lack of understanding... but never lost his composure nor was disrespectful to me or anyone around us for that matter. At the end of a two year battle, Mr. Pittullo prevailed with his original directives and promises. I am a grateful father to a very respectable man whose heart is in the right place. I have cried out of respect and the love felt through his awesome staff, one in particular , Ms Melinda Tajingwa. I have to say I have not come across a Lady who cares so much about their clients and I have nothing but respect and admiration for her heart of gold. As I read some of the commentaries from previous clients, in particular the negative ones, I dare challenge their negativity of such an office. Mr. Pittullo is a veteran of Family Law who put his time over 30 years to be the best anyone could hope for. He may be a lawyer, but this man has a heart and a conscious, imagine that. We have reached that time to say good bye, and I have only one promise in my heart, to honor and respect Mr. Pittullo for who he is and for what he did to help me and my kids. I can disclose personal matters, but what I can say is that "money is not his main motivator." I thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Pittullo and may god continue to bless you, your family and that great office/staff you direct daily. My love and respect always Ralph S

He was very professional in handling the matters as well as in his interactions with me as the opposing attorney and with the court. In each matter he was as interested in exploring settlement opportunities as he was in taking the case to trial. He provides a very professional and quality service to his clients."
