I wanted to file a small claims against BOFA for a deposit given in regards to the purchase of a property. Due to various issues with the seller, etc; the purchase did not go through. I contacted BofA and they would not release my deposit and after talking to family attorney; he recommended filing a small claims and using Civiltree. I decided to file the case myself, went to Van Nuys Courthouse East at 6230 Sylmar Ave in Van Nuys and filed my case. On the day of the trial, my case was dismissed because I had filed against the wrong entity/and served the wrong agents. I contacted Civiltree as referred originally by Awed and Awed, LLP; law firm. I filled out their form and was told by Civiltree to leave BOFA address blank. I followed their instruction and Civiltree filed my case and served the correct party. Upon 2 week after receiving my completed documents and getting ready to go to trial date; I received a phone call from their agent asking me to drop the suit against them and they will overnight my deposit check; although they would not pay for my legal fees, I was so thrilled and impressed that I called Civiltree the same minute to drop my case. Civiltree drafted the dismissal form and faxed it over to my attention. Case was dropped and I received my deposit. I have referred Civiltree to all my family members and friends.
