Great service

He was supportive and knowledgeable on all the matters being discussed. I felt really comfortable with him and his assistance during this tumultuous time in my life. I am grateful and thankful that he was there to get me through this time and communicate each step thoroughly.

Bruce Howard Guttman review

During a very difficult divorce process, Bruce was always available to answer my questions, and concerns. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and caring. His knowledge, and his Witt was reassuring at a time that was very uncertain for me. He was able to advocate for me, and obtain the results I de...sperately needed. He was very honest with me from day one, and for all these reasons I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you Bruce!!!!

Bruce Guttman

I would say I'm very please with the handling of my case for divorce and the issues I had with child support with my ex husband . My ex husband had tried to reduce his child support after non paying child support for several months . Bruce clearly explained the laws and potential outcomes with going... to court . We had receive a favorable outcome with the court. Bruce Guttman and his staff are very knowledgable and responsive to my questions and needs .

Very Trustworthy, Helpful and Understanding

Bruce and his partner Robin are wonderful attorneys for any kind of family court matter. My ex tried to take my daughter from me and their help was what made the difference in this case. First I want to say that Bruce showed great care, compassion and respect to my daughter and myself during this mos...t trying time. He clearly put the needs of my child over everyone else. Bruce and Robin were always understanding even when I was clearly nervous about this case. They remained calm, helpful and even added the necessary humor at times to help keep my spirits up when things were challenging. But as nice as they were to me they are most tough to the opposition. Robin is a great writer, her motions were right on the money, cutting when needed and most forceful as well. Bruce has great presence in court, so much so that my ex-'s attorney could barely speak. It was wonderful to know that he managed to intimidate her just by showing up! Most importantly, they know the law. They know what they can do and cannot do. They are considerate when it comes to billing. Even though it's been taxing on our resources, Bruce knows this and has been very understanding and helpful. I'm only sorry that I didn't hire them sooner. If you want to be treated with respect, sleep well at night and know that you are in the best care possible, hire Bruce and Robin.
