Beware.. This attorney and her Team are not to be trusted

I cannot be too specific, as I don't wish to be identified, however this attorney and her Team are not trustworthy. Furthermore, if you do or say anything that they are unhappy about, or disagree with, they take you to task and threaten you. All I can say is that in my dealings with her, there were l...ies told and cover ups throughout. I would recommend people to steer well clear of her and find a more reputable, honest Attorney who has true integrity.

Excellent Attorney! Excellent Experience!

I have never, before or since, worked with an attorney with such integrity. Tara truly does all she can for both the birth parents and the adoptive parents, guiding both through what can be a tangled system. We adopted our first baby through her and two years later went back to get our second baby! ...I have referred her several times because she is so honest.

Adoptive Parent

Tara has been the most honest devoted attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She placed my 2 children with us and we are still in touch today. I would highly recommend her and her agency to anyone interested in an honest adoption with no hidden agenda.

Not the best attorney in the area

I was not impressed with Ms. Gutterman. She appears not to have the ability to keep matters confidential. She also did not keep us informed of what was going on withour adoption process, and it took longer than it should have to get the work done. I discovered later there were many errors in the ...adoption legal work. Be wary.

I am sorry to hear that this person was less than satisfied with my services. However, I can not comment on the specifics since I do not know who wrote this. I can tell you that I take the issue of client confidentiality very seriously and am in constant contact with clients. I make it my priority to respond to all clients within 24 hours.

Stay Away

I was in touch with Tara for a pending adoption where her and her agency failed to inform me of pertinent health information about the baby. Although she claimed she did not know about the health issues, the hospital informed me of them, and I am not sure how, with the baby being in legal custody of... the agency, Tara and her agency could have been unaware.

Replied last June 21, 2013

This comment is made from a person who never retained my services nor that of the agency with whom I often work. It is, therefore, impossible for this person to give a client feedback on my legal services and, in fact, this is defamatory and not based on any assessment of legal skill or knowledge.
