James Louis Brunello

My name is Denise and I was referred to James Brunello and Karen Pine by one of my good friends about 3 years ago for a BK. I really had nowhere else to turn at the time. They literally took me under their wing, and helped me understand everything I was doing. I have refered them about 15 to 20 cl...ients, and all have thanked me for doing so. I also had another case in which they helped me, and without them I must say I don't know what I would have done. They really care which is very hard to find these days. I wasn't just another number to them!! I am so grateful to have had them to represent me, and I have and always will refer them every one I know.

My former husband and I were involved in a complicated law suit with the Bankruptcy Trustees for the State of California, James Brunello and Karen Pine put together the facts of our case; their team supported our efforts professionally. Kate was very helpful; I have been in the office dozens of time...s. I always felt welcome and comfortable. James & Karen are an amazing team and lay out your case so clear there cannot be a mistake as they cover every angle. I wished I knew them when I filed Bankruptcy the year prior. We had a free/clear home to lose; Jim & Karen prepared such a defense of life facts that the Judge eagerly listened to our case and settled in our favor. Jim & Karen saved us our initial investment of $300k. We gladly refer anybody we know to their firm.

Unfortunately we are current clients of Mr, Brunello's office and have been trying to get our BK taken care for over 2 years now. Their secretary doesn't return calls, is not friendly in any manner, isn't helpful in one bit. They have no sense of urgency even when your are getting lettings saying tha...t companies are now going to garnish your wages and pension. When you drive to the office to find out what is going on the secretary acts as if you are inconviencing her and snaps at you when you ask what else needs to be done since you can't get a phone call back to find out where things are at. I have never been so frustrated and stressed from a lwayers office that I paid money to. If you are wanting a somewhat stress free BK then DO NOT use James Brunello and his office.

I was referred to this office by another attorney as a creditor in a bankrupcy proceeding. The staff was awesome, helpful beyond my own expectations. Couldn't have asked for a better group of attorney's helping my business. I thought times had changed and there were NO REAL good attorney's.....; ...I was more than wrong!
