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.

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.

Trustworthy and compassionate adoption Lawyer

We have worked with Tara Gutterman for both our adoptions and cannot say anything else then that we feel blessed that we were able to work with her througout these adoptions! She made our family come true and she was always aware of what was needed or asked for by us. She is very involved and sincere....
