Bruce Howard Guttman

When I became in needed of a lawyer, I did my homework, and Bruce came highly recommended. Bruce proved to be the right choice for me,not only is he a highly skilled litigator, and negotiator, he is also a kind, caring, compassionate person. He loves and has a real pasion for what he does.Bruce worke...d tirelessly on my behalf and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case. I am not the easiest person to please but Bruce proved to be exceptional at what he does and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of legal services. He’s the best!

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.

Shocked and surprised to read the other review here. While i havent dealt with Steven, Mr. and Mrs. Guttman treated me and my case as if i were family. You can tell that they truly care about thier clients and do everything to get them what they want. After 6 years and 3 prior attorneys, Guttman & Gu...ttman was able to settle my case. As well, they worked with me on my bill and we all left happy. Thank you for getting me my life back!

I was a recent client of the law firm Guttman and Guttman to finalize my divorce. My attorney Steve Garguilo was inexperienced in the court room and although I was finally able to settle the case after a year and a half, they failed to follow through with the stipulations and blamed it on the judge.... After I payed in full my balance (before I received the actual divorce papers) they completely refused my phone calls and Bruce Guttman called me back once after I wrote a letter to every agency I could only to try and save his reputation. he then admitted to me that the case was screwed up and good luck trying to get the judge to admit the mistake. Bruce then told me that he can fix the case only if I pay him an additional $450 an hour for an undetermined amount of time to handle it, only he can do it for me. The other Lawyer Steven Garguilo also made several charges to me on phone calls that were never made and then lied to me about conversations that took place from other court personel that was supposed to resolve the situation but because it was "extra" work on his behalf and I was already paid in full he decided not to do it. I conducted my own investigation from court workers who explained to me they just wanted to get the case over with. I currently have a case pending in the Suffolk County Bar Association due to excessive billing practices in regards to phone calls alledgedly made, in which a copy of phone company records will show.
