Michael J. Gutheinz's Lawyer Endorsements
Melissa (Lisa) Bruce
Divorce and separation lawyer | May 13
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Michael was opposing counsel on a very contentious matter. No matter how heated the issues got, he always maintained his professionalism, while still being an aggressive and zealous advocate for his client. I would highly recommend Michael for child custody/divorce issues or criminal law matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Michael John Gutheinz is a superb attorney and has been my law partner for over 5 years and I have been privileged to have served as co-counsel in trials with him. He is a third generation military officer (Major) and a third generation attorney. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of St. Thomas and then went on to South Texas College of Law where he graduated Cum Laude. He is a former Congressional staffer, former part time magistrate judge in Afghanistan and a former JAG Prosecutor."
"I would trust Mike to represent me if I got into trouble. I've known Mike since 2007 when we first worked together as young JAGs. Mike deeply cares about his clients and fights hard for them. More importantly, he gets great results because of his experience and knowledge. Mike is one of the best!"
