He is not what he says

I hired him to represent me in a drawing up a separation agreement. He neglected several key elements. I would not recommend this man.

Searching for experienced lawyer

Bruce Guttman is a lawyer who listens closely, prepared me thoroughly for meeting with my now ex and his lawyer and broke down an entire 85 page Stipulation of Settlement in layman’s terms. In every aspect a wonderful person and strong lawyer!

Personal and professional attorney

The Guttman Law Firm is beyond professional. I met with Bruce and Robin who caring and attentive to all my needs, were quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. Most importantly they were fair and responsible with their billing and did not nickel and dime me. I would highly recommend them... and will continue to use them in the future.

Compassionate and Experienced Attorney

I found Bruce after a recommendation from another attorney. The law firm is small and very experienced. I felt Bruce really got the information he needed and went to bat for my daughter and I. Everyone says their ex is "crazy" but we are dealing with a very abusive man. The case itself is complex... and involves interstate custody. I felt able to convey my fear and experience and was met with empathy. Bruce and his partner were easy to talk to, open to questions and kind. They were also very honest and straightforward. I highly recommend this firm if you seek quality representation. There are a lot of lawyers that don't have the intelligence, patience and experience as Bruce and his partner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
