Absolutely the best!

My firm had begun to represent a friend in a matrimonial action the quickly went from easy to extremely difficult and beyond my legal expertise. Guttman & Guttman came to me highly recommended and they have quickly, efficiently, and economically handled this case until its conclusion. This firm ach...ieved far better results for my former client than I could have and I am grateful to have found them and that my client is happy with the results. If any of your family members needs the best representation in a matrimonial action, don't hesitate to call Guttman & Guttman.

Divorce Attorney Par Excellence!!

This is to highly recommend Bruce Guttman to anyone going through the throes of a divorce. I found him to be extremely attentive, supportive, and always available for any questions or issues that I was struggling with. He also proved to be quite resourceful and brilliant as demonstrated by his abilit...y to "think outside the box." Perhaps I can give him no bigger compliment than being able to refer to him not only as a valued attorney but a new found friend! Anyone who is thinking of hiring a prospective attorney to handle their divorce would be doing themselves a disservice if they did not include Bruce as a candidate. I would also be remiss if I did not mention that I was very much a beneficiary of Robin Guttman, who is also an attorney in the practice. Her patience, wisdom, and perspective were always appreciated.

GRATEFUL!

Mr Guttman and his practice were very helpful during my divorce, not only did they kept me informed about all legal matters but also guided me through many stressful events concerning the divorce. I'm sincerely grateful for their thorough and diligent work, it made the whole process much more tolera...ble.

An attorney that keeps you informed every step of the way.

Bruce Guttman and his staff handled my complicated divorce in a highly satisfactory manner. He was very easy to reach when needed and always on top of things. His support staff is excellent.

Caring, Concerned Attorneys

Deciding that a divorce is inevitable is difficult. Having caring understanding attorneys is imperative. From the day I walked into Guttman & Guttman I felt comfortable and confident that I had a team that would help me through this process. The day I met him Bruce gave me his personal cell phone ...number and said call anytime, day or night. Every time I called Bruce answered, discussed my concern and made sure I felt comfortable with our discussion before ending the call Once I had a question on a holiday and I was calling the office late at night just to leave a message and Bruce answered. I was surprised but happy. Robin and Bruce are experienced, know what they are doing and have excellent rapport with many other divorce attorneys which I believe helps the process move smoothly. I highly recommend them and am very happy they were able to settle my divorce expeditiously and to my satisfaction. They really care d about me and my family.

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.
