Astuno & Associates

I reached out to James Astuno directly on behalf for my daughter. She had a lawsuit filed against her corporation for 10K from Quest on billing issues. They named her personally. When I spoke to James I knew the law and knew they could not add her personally when it was a corporation unless fraud was assumed. There was NONE. so we discussed filing a simple Demur to remove her personally. A demur (as a verb) or a demurrer (as a noun) means to object or formally request a case dismissal. It accepts the other side's facts as true, but argues they do not form a valid legal claim. A few court filing fees and some time. He said no more than $5K so we sent a retainer. THEN like the series SUITS. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE BILLABLE HOURS. when you read the detail of the bill and how it went from one staff and department to another then add a partner review to submit a demur SERIOUSLY they use a template and the other attorney had. I facts to add her this was an easy slam dunk. the lawsuit alone was only $10K he charged her over $10K and harassed her on making payments. James was completely dishonest poor representation and unethical practice in how he ran her through a process not file a simple Demur.

We are waiting

I had a great experience with Robert. He was very realistic about the situation, set clear expectations, and helped assess whether the pursuit was worthwhile. The legal advice I received was extremely helpful and ultimately enabled me to resolve the matter in via other channels that made more sense for my situation. Team was responsive, and empathetic. Would highly recommend the Astuno Team.
