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.

Great Family Attorney

I hired Mr. Gutin to assist me in a very long ongoing child custody case. My case is very complicated and there were previous errors and wrongs by previous counsels. Mr. Gutin stepped up to the plate without hesitation and did an amazing job not only by filing brilliant legal documents but he is an... amazing attorney and is extremely passionate about my case that had gone so wrong. His availability, his knowledge of the law, the ability to keep me informed was amazing and I had never been treated better as a client anywhere. He invested long hours and is someone I completely trust who will fight hard! I wish Mr. Gutin had been my counsel from day one. If you are looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and has a great knowledge of the law, don't look any further.

Very HAPPY!

Our son violated his probation, was sitting in the county jail and we did not know what to do or how to help him. He spoke with quite a few people and each one had highly recommended Harley Gutin to represent him as he was facing possible prison. My son asked if we could help him contact Harley as he... was convinced that he wanted no one else. This was the best decision we could have ever made! My son's case was not an easy one, but Harley's follow up and professionalism FAR exceeded our expectations. While this is a painful and stressful time for any family with a loved one in this situation, Harley implemented a compassionate and personal touch. He even visited our son several times after business hours and unrequested by us, which was a surprise and a tremendous relief. We are very thankful for Harley. Because of his expertise, our son is no longer facing prison but will have his probation reinstated and is now looking at a bright new future! Again, we are VERY thankful for Harley and are relieved to know that he is there for our family!

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."
