The best decision I have made
I have been a client with Sharon Brunner for the past 3 years, aside from helping us obtain our goals we set out for in the courtroom she is by far an amazing woman. She truly is passionate when it comes to family law and she is cut throat when needed. I’ve worked with many different lawyers in the past and Mrs. Brunner has set such a high standard in my mind as far as what I would expect from any other lawyer. She is honest, trustworthy, friendly, caring and determined to help her clients. I have come to understand that in some circumstances the court room process and procedures with paperwork can be time consuming as well as stressful. Mrs. Brunner and her staff have always been very diligent and professional in providing me with information, appointments and keeping me updated on the status of what is being done. I always pass out her business cards to people in need of legal help and I am so grateful to have found a lawyer that I can rely on. Mrs. Brunner’s assistance emotionally and legally have been worth every penny. Retaining Mrs. Brunner was one of the best decisions I have made.

Sharon is AWESOME!!!!
I am so thankful to have found Sharon as an Attorney. She helped me get custody of my daughter and son, which seemed like a hopeless situation. I tried 2 other times to get custody of my kids and lost (represented myself and had another lawyer that was no help.) Her staff is very helpful and sympathetic and answered all of my questions. On top of everything else, I live over 3000 miles away and felt very confident that they would represent me to the fullest of their abilities. Never had to fly out for court either. Well worth every penny. I highly recommend her and her staff for your legal needs. I can never say enough for what she has done for me. My life is forever changed for the better. If you are reading this, dont wait...call her now!!!!

Beyond happy
I’m beyond happy with my outcome after having Sharon represent me. I know 100% that the outcome would have been different if I didn’t hire her. I watched her many years ago in court, and I knew fully that she was powerful and a force to be reckoned with. I never thought I would have to go back to court, but when I got called to I knew who I wanted to hire. Sharon heard me out, did her own research and really fought for me to the fullest. We wouldn’t stop until we were heard and until we got what I was asking for. I would recommend Sharon to anyone.

Sharon and her team are amazing!!
After fighting for over 11 years of custody with two different lawyers Mrs. Brunner was my last chance. she did not disappoint. we have achieved every goal that we have set. She never made me any promises, but still achieved that goal. We had a lot of curveballs thrown at us and i can honestly say that Sharon was on top of every single one. Her staff is amazing too. Rebecca has been so amazing with dealing with every question that me and my family had. Everything was handled timely and very professional. Everyone that i have interacted with has passion for their job. Highly reccommend

Integrity and Respect.
Sharon came into a high conflict situation of a long-term marriage with children and fought for my rights. She is able to expose untruths while also encouraging reasonableness for the benefit of the children. She listens and gives fantastic legal advice as to what is best for me and my children even when I am reacting to an emotional situation. She is not afraid to find a creative solution. The respect from her colleagues is commendable. I have always felt I was in great hands. Her office staff is polite and hard-working and makes you feel like you are a priority. No false promises were made to me which I have appreciated. The entire staff is respectable and upbeat during the most difficult times in a client's life. Thank you Brunner Team!

A true professional with a heart
Sharon and her team took on my extremely complex case and went right to work. Their knowledge and ability to reference state law and past cases was impressive. I felt extremely confident that Sharon and Stephanie would do their all to properly represent me. And I felt they went above and beyond to know me as a person as well. I was a nervous wreck, and this was a very difficult time for me. But, having Sharon in my corner certainly helped ease some of my nerves. If ever asked, without hesitation I will recommend Sharon and her team. There is a reason she comes so highly regarded.

My child custody
Sharon was absolutely amazing in my custody battle, my son is not biologically mine but I have been in his life since birth, ( he just turned 7) and my ex was very adamant to take him from me. I thought I could win this fight on my own and quickly realized that it would not be that easy because of my ex's representation. Sharon was very empathetic and (for lack of a better term) "on fire" to resolve my situation. She was so effective against my opposition that not only myself but none of my witness had to give testimony because my ex settled. I highly recommend her as an attorney as she is very professional and well equipped to handle very dire legal situations

Best Advocate for My Daughter!
We hired Sharon Brunner three years ago to represent me in a complicated divorce with custody issue case. My ex-husband is deceptive, cruel and has tried to practically ruin me and my children's lives, but Sharon and her staff have stood by my side and defended my daughter with the most professional tenacity I could have ever hoped for. Sharon is genuine and very skilled at her profession. Her presence in the court room is a force to be reckoned with. I put my family's well being in her hands and would do it again. I would refer anybody who wants an authentic highly passionate and professional lawyer to choose Sharon. Her team of paralegals Bonnie and Stephanie have also been extremely organized and thoughtful and sensitive to this difficult time in my life.

Awesome attorney
I hired Sharon after I fired my other attorney who was just incompetent and never got me any where. I live out of state and fly back and forth for the court hearings Sharon has always been very honest and straight forward with me. She is a very smart driven attorney who cares and will fight her hardest for you . You can not go wrong hiring her, I'm grateful that I have found her and have gotten to know her as she helps me with my case.

Professional Lawyer With A Heart
Atty. Sharon Brunner exemplifies what a true professional family law attorney is about. Her strong knowledge of family law, coupled with her compassionate understanding of our needs, has helped us significantly in the child custody battle with my wife’s former partner. She employs paralegals that are as efficient and as determined as she is, in handling our tough case. Never again, will my wife be intimidated and manipulated by her former partner and his legal counsel. You are in good hands when she’s representing you in court. She is truly heaven-sent for us.

She is a God's given gift Attorney!!!!
I first retained Ms. Brunner in 2008 She handled my case for Child Custody and Child Support very well. She is very knowledgable of what she does. She came to court prepared ready to fight for my rights to protect me and win the case. And Happy to say we did won that case. I need to hired her back 2017 regarding a family matter again. The father of my son filed a restraining order against me for a year. When I thought everything is impossible already starting to loose hope. Ms. Brunner gave me hopes She welcome me back with open arms, like a family member who needs help she treats me again with care, compassion, communicate with me in the best way she can. She is like a Mother would not let anyone harm her child. She stood by me again side by side she did not let me down. She was able to dismissed the case that was file against me, had reunification sessions with my son & overnight visits with my son. I am always pleased to have her as my attorney. She's a God's given gift to me & my family. Not just Ms. Brunner including her incredible and ever reliable staff. They are always open for communication will help you with all your concerns. Ms.Brunner and her staff treats their client like family. Which is very important. They will do the best in their ability, understanding, experience, knowledge to be there for you to make you safe & secured. My family is in good hands knowing that we do have Ms. Brunner on our side always. I still have her as my Attorney I highly recommended her SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST !

I have had Ms.Brunner for family matter. That time I was in difficult situation. Any lawyer would take advantage of my matter and charge me so high but Ms. Brunner charge me very fair. The most importantly, she completed her work as promise and not extending the time like other lawyer did. She told me and win the case successfully. I would recommend anyone for Ms. Brunner. I still be in touch with her because how kind and sincere she is.

OUTSTANDING, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AGGRESSIVE ;)
For many of us we are not good with wording or getting our thoughts out. After my first meeting with Sharon she quickly knew what the problem was and where I needed help. She explained my situation to the Judge and represented my interests to the "T". She is very professional, aggressive, and up-to-date with the current laws. I not only won my case but I received EVERYTHING I asked for.

Best of the Best.
Knowledgeable, proffesional, caring, reasonable, compassionate, yet agressive. As the petitioner in my case am so glad Ms Brunner never represented the other party, she acts like a lady but I hope you don't go against her. Ms Brunner has been helping me with my case for about two years, and continues to perform an outstanding service. After eight years of fitting for my little girl and hitting obsticles after obsticles, it has been by far the most difficult task in my life I have had to deal with. I have come to know the family law system very well, judges, attorneys, and evaluators. With this said I beleive I have the knowledge to say Ms Brunner is the best attorney in the Victor Valley area. After eight years and two different attorneys, three different judges ,thousands and thousands of dollars, emotional draining times, and complete mess of my case and my daughter's life, Ms Brunner completely turned my case around, thus giving hope to my little girl for a better future. Originally a coworker referered me to Ms Brunner, I did my research, and analyzed her as she analyzed my case. She took on my case and presented it to an awesome judge, and delivered exactly what I asked for. I have delt with mutiple attorneys, and have seen many of them in action in the court room, I have also spoken to other parents who have been or continue to be involved with family court. After my first retantion and seen that at times just because you hire an attorney it does not mean they work for you, most of the time they work for the court, often the courts are corupted, biased, and completely neglegent. "The best interest of the child" is often not so. Ms Brunner works for her clients while keeping in mind what is really best for the children. No one can turn back the past and erase what my little girl has been through but Ms Brunner has given us the opportunity and hope to give her a better life. When other attorneys said "it won't" or "I can't", Ms Brunner said "YES", "WE CAN", at the same time being realistic. There is nothing more conforting when you are in a court room, you say to yourself "oh no here we again", than Ms Brunner turns to you, sees the look in your face and says "trust me", in the end hitting the ball straight out of the park. I have never seen another attorney lay out a plan, explain a step by step process, and execute as Ms Brunner has. Ms Brunner takes the time in hearing her clients concerns, genuinely cares, and is compassionate about the cases she deals with. I have never seen an attorney be so down to earth, personnal, yet professional with her clients. Often paralegals are just pencil pusher for attorneys, not the paralegals in Ms Brunner's law firm. Ms Brunner comunicates very closely with them, has scheduled briefings regarding her cases, they are very knowledgeable and proffesional. I was always comrftable in knowing every detail of my messages would be fowarded to Ms Brunner in a timely manner. There where times where I wished calls where returned, and some concerns where responded more quickly, often I had to remind myself that I couldn't selfishly have Ms Brunner to myself and she did have other clients, but in the end Ms Brunner pulled through and delivered what a high profile attorney should deliver, and continues to do so. I do not have a lot of money, and this was always an issue in regards to choosing an attorney, Ms Brunner could have asked more for her services, what she asked for as a retainer was no small amount, other ottorneys wanted more to take on my case, Ms Brunner was willing to work with me, in the end her services where worth every penny, and if I could I would gladly pay her more. I would refer this attorney to anyone seeking solid, effective, proffesional, agressive legal representation.
