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/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!

Great Job!

Due to a misunderstanding and unfortunate chain of events I suddenly found myself in a really tough legal (criminal) spot. With the help of my wife I was lucky enough to find Harley and Steve. They worked as a team and resolved my issue quickly, non judgmentally, and at a reasonable cost. I could ...not have asked for more competent and professional representation or a better outcome. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking quality legal services. Jeff M. - Cape Canaveral (Feb 2022)

Best around

They called me back within minutes, on a Sunday. Both Gutin and Wolverton were very professional and did exactly what we needed to do. They helped us navigate through everything and gave us the outcome we needed. Highly recommend.

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

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."
