Effective and Personable

I was selected by the family of my best friend to be the P.R. in her probate case. She unfortunately died intestate and even more unfortunate was the estate was contested and became very contentious at times. Luckily, I came upon Mr. Gunthert’s profile on the Avvo website. Mr. Gunthert called me b...ack within 24 hours of my email to him and we talked for almost an hour so he could get a thorough idea of the matter. Thankfully, he decided to take the case! Mr. Gunthert and his paralegal, Patty, are very easy to work with and professional. They responded timely in all aspects of the case. Their billing statements are accurate, thorough, and easy to follow. The research Mr. Gunthert put forth in the motions and memorandums made him extremely prepared for the hearings. There were two big hearings in the case and Mr. Gunthert prevailed in both on my behalf. I’m very grateful to Mr. Gunthert and his staff for all the hard work they put forth in my case. I highly recommend this firm for any probate and estate needs.

Excellent representation!

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 Re...vocable 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.

Excellent!

Phillip answered a question I posted on Avvo with detailed and valuable information. He also replied to my follow-up questions promptly. He is very knowlegable and was interested in helping me navigate my legal issue. If you're looking for a lawyer who cares about finding a solution for you, I highly... recommend him.

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.
