Mr. Gunthert was one of the attorneys that answered my question on Avvo. I liked his response and contacted him for a consultation.
and asked for his representation.
He went above and beyond what was required to make sure my Florida Probates'; i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed, which is very important in Florida.
Mr. Gunthert took the time to thoroughly explain all my options. Then he asked the pertinent questions he needed answered to provide what he considered would be the best option for my situation. With a thorough explanation on why he felt that way, I was very confident in his suggestion.
The truth is, while Mr. Gunthert’s suggestion was great for my situation, it was not the best option for his bottom line. But I don’t think that mattered. It seemed Mr. Gunthert was more concerned with my welfare than his own.
I am not saying Mr. Gunthert works for free, he would go out of business. What I contend is that he will always; always; suggest what is in the best interest of his client.
That is how all businesses should be. But this is so rare nowadays, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the services I received from Phillip William Gunthert, Esq.
A personable Professional who Listens! Timely, courteous, someone who truly wants to help!
I live in another state and needed the advice of a Florida attorney based on advice from attorneys in my state. I was a bit skeptical of searching the internet to find someone who would give a consultation as there are several complexities to my particular situation. The matter was in regards to a Revocable Trust with the only trustee now incapacitated mentally due to Alzheimer’s and in regards to Durable POA with both documents executed under Florida law. The situation involves those who plan on physically taking this 90 year old to the bank, having her remove a large sum of money, through manipulation, knowing full well she has Alzheimer’s and cannot make sound decisions. The situation has many facets but Mr Gunthert spent close attention to all details, asked necessary questions and spent significant time giving his knowledge of the law based on the information I provided. Our conversation took a lot of weight and stress off of me! He asked for nothing! I have now decided to hire him. I have confidence in his capabilities and ethics.

Helpful and honest
Phillip returned my call on a Sunday morning, which was a pleasant surprise. I am from Wisconsin and I was inquiring about a Probate situation for my deceased mom, a Wisconsin resident, who owned a timeshare in Florida when she passed away. Phillip didn’t just feed me a line so I would hire him, he was very upfront and honest with his assessment of my situation. He gave me some very good advice, wished me luck and said to call him back if I need anything else. What a breath of fresh air.

Excellent, Knowledgeable, Compassionate Attorney
Phillip William Gunthert has taken the time to answer some of my very difficult and confusing questions about a very convoluted probate case on his own time and without earning any fees. He is honest, forthright and cares. His knowledge of the law is excellent and his feedback top notch. I have attended law school but am not an attorney and my sister is an attorney however not in the state in question. We needed guidance and he provided it. He is on point and sympathetic to our situation. We would absolutely hire him! Thank you Phillip! We are grateful!

Great guidance, excellent cost at a difficult time for me
Attorney Gunthert handled the estate of my late son. He navigated the court during the challenging time of the pandemic. He guided me correctly on the type of estate needed and his assistant went above and beyond in ensuring I could settle the estate and put the episode behind me while honoring my sons obligations. Personable and compassionate service done at a flat fee as agreed despite the extras the pandemic added in. I highly recommend him and his wonderful assistant.

A superb and resourceful attorney
Mr. Gunthert answered a question I posted on the platform with detailed and valuable information. Furthermore, he replied to my follow-up questions promptly and with the same degree of quality. He was insightful and seemed interested in helping. Even after realizing that due to the distance between his office and the location where I needed legal help, I would be better served with a closer attorney, Mr. Gunthert was cordial and responsive. If you need an attorney in Orlando, who cares about your issue irrespective of hiring him or not, I recommend Mr. Gunthert without reservations.

Highly recommend!
Consulted with this attorney to assist me with a pending foreclosure on my home. This attorney went above and beyond in assisting me with saving my home. My mortgage company was attempting to enter a default judgement against me, but because Mr. Gunthert had prepared a defense statement on my behalf, the judge sided with me and ruled in my favor permitting me to remain in my home and my mortgage company later relented and approved my request for a mortgage modification which allowed me to keep my home. Mr. Gunthert was relentless in his pursuit to assist me with this matter and was flexible with his fee schedule. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of 'fighting the good fight' against those that would take advantage of you. Give Phil a call today and get a new lease on life.

Phil was extremely thorough and educated us on key words of an investment contract. Not only did he protect our interest, he revised the contract and both parties agreed on the terms without a lot of
negotiation.

Small Business Advocate
I've contacted over ten lawyers concerning my issue regarding a small business loan. However, Mr. Gunthert was the only one (so far) who was willing to offer constructive, pro bono advice. Even though I have no budget for legal consultations or representations, that did not stop him from going the extra mile to help me out. He specifically addressed my concern with personal insight. I do not wish to be too explicit about my legal issue. All I will say is that he is detailed, gets right to the heart of the matter, and will (literally) work late into the night with you. If you're a struggling small business owner in Florida just trying to keep your business afloat, this is the attorney for you.

I reached out to Attorney Gunthert just one week ago after seeing his profile online and I am so glad I did. My initial and continued impression is that he is the most compassionate and knowledgeable attorney that I have had the pleasure of speaking with in regards to the difficult situation I'm facing at this time in my life. He is in the moment when conversing with me and has guided me in the right direction as well as making me feel I can openly speak to him about anything I am concerned with. His soft spoken mannerism is greatly appreciated and has put me at ease with knowing he will be by my side throughout. I will be hiring him to represent me with my case. I would and will refer him to anyone that needs an attorney utilizing his expertise.

Helpful and Straightforward
I posted a question to the AVVO board and Mr. Gunthert was one of three responses. While the other responses are appreciated, they were very generic and ultimately recommended the services of an attorney, Mr. Gunthert's response was detailed enough and worded in a way that recognized that this didn't appear to be a complex issue and was calling more for a verification of a solution already being presented by myself. He provided sound advice for a question that probably took him 3 seconds to process and didn't try to push me toward hiring him. I appreciated that.
