Unbelievable

I first want to say Michael WOW. I finally made it through the toughest time of my life. My situation was not easy. What I have to say about you and your Firm was the patience and the candor in the way you handled me and my situation. I can honestly say you were the perfect Attorney and very patient.... I want to thank you for having the vision and not letting me down for me and my daughter. We now live in a Brand new house and have you to thank for getting this done..... Thank you and I would reccommend you for any Real Estate transaction in the future. Just ask me......

Amazing Lawyer With Amazing Staff

Michael and his staff were so amazing that I can't even put it into words. I had the misfortune of working with a bad mortgage company. I had a lot of pitfalls on the road to my home. Michael and his staff demonstrated a kindness and compassion second to none. Denise, his paralegal is on top of every...thing that comes her way. I got news the Friday before July 4th weekend that I wouldn't be closing the following Monday as scheduled. Michael spend hours literally of his own time on his cell phone over the weekend talking to me, giving me suggestions and going far beyond the call of duty to help. Michael brought a complete sense of professionalism to my closing yesterday and every other day that I signed on as his client. Denise also spend countless hours emailing me and on the phone with me making sure everything was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Michael Gutman.

Bad Customer Service and TOTALLY unresponsive

This is a horrible attorney and poorly run office. They don't answer your calls and ignore your messages. They take on too many closing and provide no customer service to the clients. During one of the most stressful transactions you can undertake, they ignore you and make it worse! Their lack of ...responsiveness also costs you more money, for example, in unnecessary overnight fees. When you are finally lucky enough to talk to someone other than the receptionist in the office, they make it clear to you how busy they are and that they will get to you when they can as some days they have 5 closings or more to handle.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I practice primarily in family law cases and divorce. It is not uncommon for one spouse to sign over his/her interest in the marital house to the other spouse, or for one spouse to buy-out the other spouse, or to simply place the house on the market for sale. In each of these, I have referred my client(s) to Michael who has handled the title transfer or refinance or sale with perfection. The clients are well cared for, and Michael knows exactly which documents (deed, affidavit of title, etc.) are needed for each situation. I can hand off the client to Michael who knows how to accomplish the goals of transferring title."
