Best decision I ever made

Choosing Harley to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I could have made. I found him to be very experienced and knowledgeable, but equally supportive and caring. His fees are very fair and I felt that he took a personal interest in my wellbeing. Harley guided me through this difficulty ...process and his strait-forward approach really helped to minimize my stress. What I appreciated the most, was how accessible he was and fast to respond. I always felt confident that I could reach him if I needed anything and that meant the world to me. My experience with Harley Gutin was top notch and I highly recommend him.

Client

Attorney Harley Gutin is presently representing me in a civil case and has represented me in the past in family cases. For eight years he has been the person I go to for legal advice. He does not charge me for calling him and does not bill me if I email him with questions. He gives me a clear pictu...re of what legal obstacles I am confronting and the odds of succeeding. I highly recommend Gutin and Wolverton if you have a legal problem as they have always successfully fought for my legal rights. Kelly

Divorce Settlement with Spouse Abroad

I contacted Mr. Gutin, after almost a year of trying to understand where or how to divorce my European ex-spouse living in Malaysia. From the first phone call with Mr. Gutin, suddenly everything seemed much simpler, faster, and clear cut. I was impressed by how responsive he was, responding to questi...ons by text on a Sunday afternoon, or a late evening email. I was also very grateful for his compassionate personality, and human way of guiding me through the process of starting with what is the standard way of doing things and then really listening to what I wanted or needed. He asked me questions to thoroughly understand my situation and rather humanly extended his advice and different options I might consider when adapting my Marital Settlement Agreement and my Parenting Plan. I truly appreciate the experience that I had with Mr. Gutin, having managed to easily obtain my divorce with a positive feeling, stress relief, and the feeling that I had been looked after. I am grateful for his council, and I am so glad that I chose to work with him. I would recommend him whole-heartedly.

Thank you

I hired Harley Guttin to help me with a stressful situation. My ex-husband after almost six years of being divorced decided to sue me. Mr. Guttin did an excellent job researching and piecing together information and evidence to aid my case. His hard work and diligence led to the case against me bein...g withdrawn. I highly recommend having Mr. Guttin in your corner, especially if you felt as lost as I did. I’m eternally grateful to Mr. Guttin and would like to say thank you.

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."
