Posted by MARY | September 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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 20...17 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 !

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.

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 continu...es 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.

Outstanding Family and Criminal Law Attorney

My family has used Sharon Brunner and her associates for many years now in family and Criminal law cases. Our family, like many others, have been faced with many hard times and retained Sharon and her team for legal purposes time and time again. She is friendly, understanding very knowledgeable of... all areas regarding law of many types. If there was an update to be given she was there, just a phone call away to mend our families concerns. My family has had a custodial case (which Miss Brunner was able to assist with both sides agreeing on terms that were acceptable for the well-being of the child) and a Criminal suite (which her and her team were able to bring our daughter home after a horrible experience with injustice) and she did it all without causing us any undue stress or worry. Our family considers Sharon and her team a very valuable asset to our home and if anyone is having doubts about attorney's, costs that can be substantial at times for all situations or needs an understanding attorney to just listen then Sharon Brunner is your lady. She's very savy with all surrounding areas, jails and D.A.'s that come her way. My family is whole once again due to her unfailing loyalty to her customers. She works night and day to ensure justice for her clients and that is why we return time and time again. Thank you to Sharon and her team for all they do. She's amazing.

a great lawyer

I First Retained Sharon Brunner in 2005. She started off as my Family law attorney. I was going through a nasty divorce. With out her I would of been eaten alive by my first wive. Sharon handled everything. I was well pleased. In fact I was so pleased that I decided to call her for help in a criminal... case in 2006. She again went above and beyond all I could of hoped for. I remained a free man. In the last 8 years she has handled 9 criminal cases for me from everything to probation violations to felony charges. I completely trust Sharons' judgement she is a professional in her field. I have not called on any one but her when I need help. Her office has always worked with me. Take it from me someone who is no stranger to the criminal system if you want to remain free, make a great plea or even go to trial and win. You best choice is Sharon J Brunner. Not only is she a great family law attorney who has been there for me throughout two marrages she is also a excellent criminal defender who in 9 years and 9 criminal cases and 2 divorces has never let me down.
