You are a victim and you seek a remedy. Quality experience counts, as does someone who understands what it is you have lost. My office treats the client as a real-world person with real-world problems. You are not just a name on documents, or a payday at the end of the case. If you have been injured, call me at 1-888-773-0758

Criminal Defense 35%

As an assistant district attorney, I was very tough on crime. As a defense attorney, I bring the same toughness to bear on my opponent. I have a very thorough approach from the beginning, starting with the intake interview, through the pretrial/motion stage. I know what motions to bring, and how to try them, I know what works, and what doesn't. At trial, I fight doggedly fot my clients. Experience counts, and quality experience may mean the difference between conviction or liberty.

One smart lawyer

Kevin Guyette was the lead attorney in a complicated intellectual property law suit and I was impressed with his mastery of the facts and his knowledge of the law and trial procedures. He is an extremely smart man and I would trust him to handle any litigation matter.

Was A Bulldog When We Needed One

Kevin represented me in a Civil Case and was exactly what we needed, someone who could vehemently pursue the truth of the matter and secure a settlement. He was easy to work with and professional throughout.

You're on your own.

Kevin was a disaster for me. He totally neglected my case, a harassment charge. I never heard from him from the day he took my retainer fee to the day I dismissed him. Six months He also never contacted the Court. I mean literally never. Then he violated confidentiality by submitting a false and dam...ning Affirmation which totally prejudiced the judge in a non-jury trial. He claimed I was harassing my accuser by wanting to go to trial! This was after I had dismissed him. He also had a damaging conflict of interest insofar as his secretary was also part-time secretary to the presiding judge of my case. In withdrawing from my defense, his letter to Court contained several garbled statements and grammatical or spelling mistakes.He was consistently abrasive, insulting, and barely under control. He acted more as my prosecutor than defender, often bullying me (or trying to). The experience with him was a nightmare. As of his last contact with me, his bill, he still didn't know how to spell my name. I can prove this.

If this writer is in the right, and feels that the truth is on his side, then he should not remain anonymous. This is defamatory, and shame on AVVO for posting it. This anonymous person should not hide, but should instead post my Affirmation, in its entirety, so all readers may see and judge. Perhaps then AVVO would not publish things recklessly.

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.
