James F. Guckenberg's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jim is reliably thoughtful, creative, and committed to reaching clients' goals. I consistently find his judgment and focus to be of great value to our work and our clients' interests."
"Atty. Guckenberg and I represented opposing parties in a divorce which ended a long marriage during which the husband and wife accumulated significant assets. Guckenberg was thorough, careful and zealous regarding all financial details, but the quality which most impressed me was the kindness and sensitivity that he showed his client at the final hearing. The proceedings were clearly difficult for her and Mr. Guckenberg was patient and kind. I endorse this lawyer."
