Best Family Attorney in Florida

I've had my share of lawyers who haven't done what lawyer Gutin has done for me! I highly recommend him to represent you.

Best Family Lawyer

If you need a knowledgeable, supportive, experienced, and trustworthy attorney, Harley Gutin is your guy. The best family lawyer in town! From the first phone call to the last document filed, Mr. Gutin took a personal interest in our family custody case. Mr. Gutin is straightforward, accessible, and ...very reliable when returning our calls, texts, or emails. We felt he was a guardian angel walking through this challenging moment with us. I cannot imagine having another attorney represent our family. Harley Gutin, you are the best. Thanks for fighting for our family.

Divorce

I can’t speak highly enough about Harley. I decided to divorce my husband after a long 27 year marriage. It was not an easy decision to make at all, but I am so glad that I had Harley to represent me. He helped me through such a difficult time in my life with guidance, commitment and his honest opini...ons on how to proceed with my case. He showed me that he cared about me as a client and that he wanted me to be financially stable years after the divorce. He focused on every detail of my case to see that I got everything I was entitled to after such a long marriage. I am so happy that I chose Harley to represent me. I not only thought of him as my attorney, but also as a friend. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney, Harley Gutin is the guy you want! Thank you so much Harley.

Divorce

I highly recommend Harley Gutin & his firm for your divorce needs. I contact him in a frantic state, he gave me a brief free consult over the phone, & I seen him in his office the next day. Divorce isn’t anything glamorous & something I never thought I’d have to go through, but Harley had my back thr...ough the entire process & made this process much easier & always kept me in the loop.

divorce/custody

I want to thank Harley for one of the best experience of justice I have come across not only he took my divorce/custody case the second I contacted him when no one wanted to and got me the best settlement in less than 3 weeks. The moment he took my case I can confidently say his main focus was alway...s best interest of my daughter, seeing his commitment to the only factor of the case I cared genuinely about, provided me a true peace of mind when it was needed the most. Harley is an extremely proficient and thoughtful attorney, he's trustworthy, responsive, and reliable, He were able to assist me during a difficult time in my life and I'm forever grateful. I highly recommend him my experience was amazing!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen Harley represent clients zealously over a number of years and was fortunate enough to work with him on two different felony matters. I was impressed by the way that he related to his clients, the prosecutors and the Judges. He was always very well prepared investigating the cases relentlessly and always challenging me to look at the facts with a different perspective. He conducts himself professionally while challenging the prosecutors to have to prove their case. He fights hard for his clients and is definitely someone you want on your side. Working with him has made me a better lawyer. I hope I get the opportunity to work with him in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as your lawyer."
