Pettinato & Associates

It was a pleasure allowing Scott and his team to obtain funds for a family member, this would have been an almost impossible task without them due to the complexity of our claim. Their due diligence, working with the State was a lengthy process of navigating through the layers of red tape but it finally paid off as this was a substantial amount of funds. The relationship they've built with the Department is a benefit often not known to claimants, this is the reason why we will use Scott's team if more unclaimed property is ever available to us. Thanks Scott!

We learned that the State of California was holding financial assets that belonged to our family. For recovery, we were referred to Pettinato & Associates by a local attorney. We found the firm to be honest and diligent in their efforts on our behalf. They did a good job of explaining the process and kept us updated along the way. Highly recommended.

My daughter filled out the paperwork - twice! Had it notarized - twice! Never received a check, and was eventually told that a check was sent and cashed. But not sent to her nor cashed by her!!

I personaly do not recommend this private investigative service to anyone looking to find their lost assests from the state of California.. This company put me through a traumatic experience by telling me my funds were coming and that I would be able to pay off my school debt. The money never came to me. They assured me it was fast tracked and the funds would be expedited to me before May 2025, this also ended up being a lie. I would not recommend these people to protect your assest they are only concerned about funding themselves. Thank you Lauralee I would like to add, on April 23rd 2025 I recieved an email from this firm. It read, " the value of the expedited claim number 10228828 which I was told by Pettinato and Associates is worth $3,266. I was excited to be told I would recieve this money to pay off my college debt. However it was $477. Is what it really was which put me in shock considering I told this firm that my debt was $1,700. They assured me that I would get the $3,266. In plenty of time before I graduate in May of 2025 to pay off the $1,700 it wasnt even half of what i owed..lolol jokes on me! Moreover, unfortunantly I am still waiting for my money, which is still not mine and my debt is still sitting there at SDSU which Mr. Sott Pettinato seems to know so much about? What goes at where I attend school? .. I am working on it now to get it paid off. Thanks to Pettinato and Associates I had to go on a leave of absence for a year until I get it paid off which held me up going into graduate school. So your fradulant statements to me in an email cost me my education... Thank you again for your wonderful efforts and lame excuses! Goodbye Big PI firm...llne If I could post the email here I would

At first I felt these guys might be dubious when they contacted me about a refund I was owed from the state of California (I’ve been living in Florida since 2022). I proceeded with their process and thought it did take time, I got the funds CA owed me by check about 4.5 months later. Very pleased with this result. Professional firm and I would work with them again.
