Our family stays together

If you're looking for a lawyer who has you and your families best interest at heart Joe Guillama is your man. Joe represented me in a custody case where he kept my children's best interest at heart. My ex wife was looking for primary custody. Requiring the children to move from their current school d...istrict. Moving them out of their home with their step brother and step sisterHe stopped at nothing to make sure I knew what my options were and case scenarios. There was no sugar coating anything. He was always honest and upfront. Joe is very responsive to his emails. Joe was very accommodating at discussing issues after hours, as far as discussing things after my children were in bed so I didn't take time away from them. Joe is honest and upfront. He definitely is a man of his word! Joe will be used for any future needs should they arise!

Caring and compassionate

Joe really cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond to ensure that your children are protected and aren’t unnecessarily brought into the court room, unlike some of the others. He is honest and upfront and really doesn’t wish for you to accrue unnecessary costs as part of his service. He is w...onderful, gives me confidence, and has been very helpful in my difficult custody case.

Professional

Joe is a professional, determined and excellent attorney. He helped us finalize the adoption of our two sons, which our former attoeney didnt complete any work as promised. He is friendly and a family man. He has gone above and beyond to help us with our situation. We couldn't have been more pleased....

Did a great job

tough time. We had been dealing with a mother of one of my children who often had his safety in question. Joe went to fight for me for this and another court dealing. Joe knocked it out of the park both times and with such ease. You can tell he's very respected in the berks county area and knows most...ly everyone in the courthouse. Joe worked with my family to arrange a fair payment plan,everything worked out perfectly. I would recommend him to anyone.

Child Custody Case

Hello everyone, first I want to start off by thanking Joseph Guillama and his office. If it wasn’t for him I would not have my son today. I am a 31 year old male who was seeking primary custodianship of my 8 year old son. The odds were already against me being that I am an active military member and ...the fact that I reside out of state. The child resided with his mother in Pennsylvania for the past 5 years. With that being said, Joe was upfront right away and told me this case was a long shot and there were no certainties of winning or even getting close to winning due to the circumstances of the case. I searched around numerous times for lawyers that were willing to accept the case and the uphill battle I would be facing, but none of them would accept it. Joe took the challenge after hearing my story and was transparent with everything he did. There was never a doubt in my mind that I picked the right lawyer to represent me. His professionalism, dedication, attention to detail and most importantly communication by far exceeded my expectations. The case took longer than we both anticipated due to the defendant not being cooperative but 10 months later, I have my son and I couldn’t be happier. I am writing this review to not only tell others about my successful story with Joe but to inform others, if you are seeking help from a well knowledgeable lawyer and if you are a service member than look no further. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Joseph A. Guillama. As any other lawyer the standard fee’s apply and might seem high to you but I promise you he is worth every penny.
