I hired Tami Cummins as my divorce attorney. She started off strong and sounded great, but then all but disappeared. She told my ex and I that for an extra fee she would finalize divorce for us to save time and money of getting a 2nd attorney involved. She took the large sum of money and now 3 months later, hasn't solved anything and claims the money is gone. She not only wants a big balance paid off, but more money put into the account. She told me that my case was on hold until I paid her. She has gone through thousands of dollars and I'm no closer to being divorced. She did decent

So thankful for Jessica Dorn and her paralegal, Karen Curtis. I am so appreciative of all their work. They are very professional and kind. I was very nervous to have to get an attorney, but they made the process very easy and welcoming. I will always recommend Jessica Dorn! Thank you all so much!

Attorney Lauren Franzella and her Paralegal Elizabeth Baroni-Rodriquez are an extraordinary legal team. Had a family matter that needed careful and immediate attention. They handled the situation professionally with compassion, great concern and in an expeditious manner. Kept us informed and up to date on all matters. Hopefully we don’t need their assistance anymore, but if required they are our go to legal experts.

Do not hire. They will just take your money. I used them for my divorce and Ms. Cummins could not have cared less that my ex was abusive and she failed to obtain the amount of child support he was supposed to pay. Ultimately the lawyer signed orders written by opposing counsel that were incorrect! Put down two 6k retainers and when I had to let her go even though my ex was taking me to trial. BP invoiced me $6700 AFTER I let them go and then got a default judgment when I couldn't pay them. In 3 years they upped the bill to $13k - AWFUL - THE WORST - WILL NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR

Jessica Dorn and her Paralegal, Michelle Ritchey, are two of the most professional and competent women I have ever worked with. After finding myself married to a con-artist who left me with thousands of dollars of debt, I was faced with the very difficult decision of whether or not to file for bankruptcy. Jessica and her staff were completely patient with me as I struggled with this tough decision for 6 months. At no time did she pressure me to make a decision that I was not ready to make. Michelle kindly and promptly answered multiple questions and reassured me time and time again on the concerns

I personally had an exceptional experience working with Lauren and her team. Lauren was very attentive and focused on what was best for my kids throughout a long tedious case. You can tell that Lauren and her team enjoy what they do and are driven to represent their clients and provide good feedback on options specific to their case.

I recently went through the worst time of my life. Mom took our daughter away from me and filed a restraining order , didnt let me see our daughter till we want to court. I hired Tamie Cummins because i heard she is a hard hitter. Well i found that out real quick. She told me she wasnt going to take my case if i couldn't pass a drug test. That means she really has the kids best interest at heart.so we go to mediation. Mom came out swinging. Tamie told me to keep calm. I listened to her. Listening to her and hiring her was the best investment ever. Mom didnt even want me to see our daughter

if you ever need an attorney do NOT use Borton Petrini! they are completely without integrity. I needed help with an issue and since they had acquired the case from the attorney I used before I went with them. WRONG! one of the attorneys had my paperwork for 4 months and never, never contacted me about my case. I called several times but no one ever called me back. after 4 months I was told to pick up my paperwork because they didn't have the "resources" to help me, are you kidding!?!?!

I Can honestly say I had an amazing experience. One of the hardest things for me is being understood. Legal matters can be quite overwhelming and my experience was not what I expected. My attorney was extremely professional. She listened and understood. Other attorneys wouldn’t listen long enough or cut you short because they hear only what they want to hear. That was not the case here. My attorney listened to me and understood me entirely. This helped make my case very easy to handle. I was always updated and never had a hard time contacting her. I highly recommend this firm! Thank you!

To say that this attorney is amazing is an understatement. Jessica Dorn from Borton Petrini LLP has been through some pretty tough situations with our family. Jessica took the time to really get to know our family and guide us to do what was best for our granddaughter. We have dealt with some attorney's and always felt like they were overcharging us or not invested in us. We never felt this way with Jessica and her law firm, from the front desk to Jessica. They were always detailed and fair. Jessica even took a Saturday out of her busy family schedule to assist us in a tough situation.

I was not a client due to lack of wanting to work with the presented case. She seemed to have dismissed us immediately, yet was willing to take a $2500.00 retainer if we had decided to go with this office. Luckily went back to Robin Reno, paid HALF THE RETAINER and got EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED. Thanks, for your reply, dropped your rating yet another star.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Sarah Ornelas. She was not only extremely professional but she also made you feel comfortable. I never felt like I was a "bother" to her like other lawyers have made me feel in the past. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and was able to get everything that I expected and more. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can "depend on".

I've used Borton Petrini for Unlawful Detainer services and could not be any happier! They were very swift and took care of ALL of my problems much quicker than expected. The whole process was very easy and I was constantly updated on the progress of what was being done. Claudia Aceves is an amazing attorney!! Let me say that again, Claudia Aceves was FANTASTIC!!! I could not recommend a better attorney and will most definitely use her legal services again in a heart beat! I highly recommend this law firm. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I would!

Jessica Dorn has been my Attorney for 2 years. She works hard to provide me with the services needed and delivers successfully. I would refer her to any of my friends that needed family law or bankruptcy services. These can be sensitive subjects and I always feel comfortable working with her.
I'm very pleased with Borton Petrini Law Firm.
