Mr Dominic Trutanich Miss represented he could handle a foreclosure case in Sarasota Florida. Took the retainer of $5000.00 and never did anything for the case. Even with doing nothing and having to hire different attorneys in Florida when settled and case was won. Requested any billing or itemization of the account to be turned into the Sarasota County 12th district court so I could be paid back for the retainer. Mr Trutanich did not turn in any billings to the court. After speaking with Mr Trutanich on the phone he agreed to send back the retainer and in text agreed to send back the retainer.and to this day has yet to do so. This has gone over 7 years trying to recover the retainer. He will not return emails, text or calls. To this day I’m still trying to recover my retainer.

Dominic and Bonnie did an excellent job handling my eviction and stopping the bleeding. I have done two evictions 30 years apart from one another and Dominic handled both. It made the process very easy. The first was involved a dilapidated boat stored on my parents property by a tenant who stopped paying rent and was not stable. It required an order, an auction, and getting rid of the boat. More recently an alcoholic tenant who stopped paying rent and started destroying the property. I am an attorney, and probably could have figured out how to do one these myself. But the time I saved was well worth the retainer. Dominic is very knowledgeable about the court process, and practical considerations. Had I attempted this myself, I would have not be able to obtain a money judgment. Bonnie and Dominic did everything from filing to effectuating service on the tenant who had holed up in the property to getting a default judgment. Very thankful to have them on my side.

Found these guys after looking online for ANY attorney that would take my case. I had been EVICTED from a place I wasn't even living at, didn't know what could be done. I called SO many lawyers and nobody wanted to take my case because the judgment had already been entered. But I found Dominic and he gave me hope, told me I still had a chance and after I hired him I could see how hard he fought to get my judgment undone and he completely took care of everything. He cleared my name, and always answered my phone calls (which was super important to me because I called him a lot) he & Bonnie (the receptionist) kept me updated and took all the worry and stress away from me. He got my case dismissed and I'm so glad I found him! Such a stress relief. Would recommend.

I had a foreclosure two years ago.........Mr.Trutanich got me 6,000 dollars to move and 60 day more to stay in my own home........This guy is a MONSTER LAWYER! I have recommend some of my friends to him and they got awesome results too,only myself to this point got money to move from the bank.....lol

Mr. Trutanich helped me with a Landlord/Tenant matter in 2012. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. It was readily apparent in the courtroom that he knew much more than the other party's attorney. In addition, his courtroom demeanor and tactics, as well as his ability to argue a case, easily outshined the other lawyer. We won the case, including our attorney fees and court cost! There is NO WAY I could have achieved this result with ANY other Attorney!!! Anybody who says anything different, is a liar or a competitor - because this guy is GREAT!

Our family has worked very hard for what we have and do not air our differences in the courts. However when we were dragged into court we consulted and hired Trutanich to represent us in a relatively simple case that he stated would involve a few hours (5-6 of research work it be exact.) With no warning, he handed the case over to a staff member who was the epitome of dull, uninspiring, vague, tongue tied, unprofessional counsel I have ever met. The bulk his counsel involved trying to get us to settle on a clear cut, unfair case that was outrageous to begin with. Then he tried to quit the case a couple of weeks before trial ,leaving us to seek other counsel, thankfully the intelligent judge in the case could see the specious argument that was being presented by the other side and the case never even had to go to trial . Aside from asking for money (3x what we expected costs to be) and then trying to have us settle and pay more for something for which we had no culpability, this firm is useless. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from them possible, any first year law student can give you better advise.

This attorney has let me down completely. Pay up front, he misses court dates, never communicates with his client, has no respect for his client's time and has to be reminded of all important hearings.

He misguided in two cases which didn't go well. I was disappointed not choosing another more knowledgeable attorney. I had to clear the mess he got me in. He is also hard to contact until it's too late.

After a complimentary consultation, we chose to go with Mr. Trutanich on the basis of some positive recommendations from former satisfied clients. We were satisfied with all aspects of our interactions with him (including the proposed payment plan, which was more than fair). We found him to be intelligent and courteous, a class act with a "sunny" disposition and a great sense of humor. As anticipated, we prevailed...

He was slow in responding to my case inquiry, which I ultimately went with another attorney. I have heard he can be a shady attorney. He also wanted cash upfront.
