WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND

In the 3 years it took to get my divorce, I spoke with Ms. Guffey only 2 times on the phone, and the first time was to discuss payment. We met on the day of court. Any time I called, her paralegal would answer every one of my questions with, "That's an attorney question." But I never received an atto...rney answer. After my divorce was final, she added more than $3000 to my billing which had a balance of only $300 the day of court. I feel as if she worked for my ex and his attorney. She didn't present one thing in court I asked her to, and did not refute any of my ex's testimony. I would never recommend her! I thought a woman attorney would work harder for me because I am a woman, too, but I feel like she threw me under the bus. And 3 months after the divorce is final, I'm still waiting for finalization and division of assets and property which should have been written into my papers...a common practice of lawyers to prevent this kind of thing. But, Ms. Guffey wasn't working in my favor. Terrible attorney. Would not advise hiring her!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
