Joseph Gufford III

Mr. Gufford represented me in a Department of Revenue Support case. I owed over $100K but I had become a disabled veteran with a very limited income. They had suspended my drivers license and Mr. Gufford and his staff went to work right away on my case. he completely out performed the DOR's lawyer... and won my case. I am eternally grateful for his help. Donna was my assigned paralegal and she kept me up to date with the case and worked very hard on my financial affidavit. On the day of trial, Mr. Gufford had notebooks of the evidence ready for the Court, myself and the Judge. He also had the pertinent case law on the subject. DOR had nothing prepared. Mr. Gufford objected multiple times to questions posed by the DOR lawyer and they were SUSTAINED. The DOR lawyer objected multiple time to questions posed by Mr. Gufford and they were OVERRULED. I highly recommend The Gufford Law Firm if you have any family law issues, especially DOR child support issues.

I hired Joe for my child custody/childsupport case. Him and Donna Milano did a great job on my case and walked me thru everything. I really can not say enough about them! Wish I had them back in 2006 things would have been totally different! Thank you both so very much ! I will forever be grateful f...or all of your hard work!! Thank you once again !

Mr. Gufford, his paralegal Hazel, and his staff have been an important part of my family's life for over 12 years while fighting nasty, ugly court issues with my children's father, or my ex. Twelve years of custody, child support, medical expenses, foreclosure, domestic violence, restraining orders, ...emergency hearings, and long drawn out court cases brought about to protect my children. Mr. Gufford has been thorough with making the best decisions and taking to time ensure the laws, safety, and court orders were followed. On several occasions, I have called Mr. Gufford for immediate advice on specific matters and he has always returned an email or phone call in a timely manner if not immediately. He has worked to make sure that the proper documents were filed in the most cost efficient ways to try to keep legal cost down. He has chosen strategies, witnesses, and case laws to support the matters at hand. He has been professional in making the decisions to protect the children and my welfare always making sure the laws were followed. Hazel, his paralegal, has been beside him through the course of the 12 years. She has worked closely with me to not only keep me calm in extreme times of hardship, but has been able to interpret the legal wording for me to understand exactly what is meant. She has spent numerous hours creating documents, spreadsheets, graphs, research, filings, communication with both the court and myself, and has supported the family with the best interest at hand while keeping a professional tone to the forefront. Billing issues over the last 12 years have always been discussed as they arise and as the bills grow. The desicions were made to best fit financially while doing the best to keep the children's best interest and safety at hand. Avenues were taken and compiled together when available to minimize the costs. Witnesses and subpoenas were used only for professional purposes as to cut the costs and decrease the amounts of wasted time. Mr. Gufford and Hazel have fought successfully in my children and my behalf for an extremely rare amount of time. They have never left me alone. They have been beside us the entire time ensuring that the best interests of ours were heard. I honestly can not imagine where we would be without them. Our court cases still aren't over. They won't be until the children finally turn 18, unfortunately I see this coming. However, knowing that I have Joe and Hazel in my corner, I can be assured that I have the best attorney I could possibly have.

I retained Mr. Gufford to represent me in a highly contested child custody, visitation, and support case. Mr. Gufford was highly recommended by another attorney as one of the top litigators in all Martin county and the surrounding areas. Mr. Gufford and his extremely competent staff immediately ga...ve me the confidence that my case was being handled by experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Throughout my case, Mr. Gufford and his staff were always accessible at anytime I needed them. When my case went in front of the judge, Mr. Gufford's litigation skills far exceeded my expectations. 10 out of 10 is an extremely accurate rating for Mr. Gufford and his staff. Top-notch.

Joe and his staff were very professional and informative during my child support case. I was ignorant to the legal system and the law interpretation for my case. Joe and his staff explained these laws and walked me through the case from start to finish. I would certainly recommend Mr. Gufford to a...nyone in need of his services.
