Thorough, kind, and professional

Mr. Gutierrez represented me at one of the most frightening and confusing times of my life. He immediately put me at ease, explained everything, and proceeded to walk me thru the legal process as kindly and thoroughly as possible. It resulted in the best outcome possible thanks to his experience and ...knowledge. I feel fully confident to highly recommend Mr. Gutierrez.

MORE THAN AN ATTORNEY

Joseph represented me in a serious matter. He understands what the family goes thru as well as the defendant. He understands the seriousness of the matter and knows what must be done to help his client and family members. A professional in his field and as a human. His record in the court room speaks... volumes.

Great listener, truly cared.

Joe really helped us through a hard time. At every meeting, he listened intently and addressed all of our concerns. We felt he was truly invested in getting our family the best outcome possible and I'm happy we chose him to represent us.

Very Impressive

After speaking to several other attorneys who always seemed "in a rush", Joe took my initial phone call and spent over 45 minutes listening to me. After 19 court appearances (of which Joe was at every single one) He never stopped listening or offering advice. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and well k...nown through out the court system. He has definitely treated me like a friend and not just a client.

A Very Capable Attorney

My sister was arrested with a very serious charge. Mr. Gutierrez was recommended to us by one of his colleagues because of his extensive experience with difficult cases .He almost immediately took a personal interest in my sister’s case and her family. He knew she was being treated unfairly and took... on the mission of defending her. He made very regular visits to my sister when she was being held in jail. He provided her with crucial updates and much needed moral support. His concern was also actively demonstrated by his frequent phone calls with her very concerned family. Keeping us current and explaining the process as it unfolded. He was familiar with all of the principal individuals involved in my sister’s ordeal. He knew the judges and prosecutors from his previous work and this allowed him to understand them and communicate effectively with them. He was actively engaged in negotiations with the other side throughout the entire process. His thoroughness with trial preparation was evident in his performance at the pre-trial hearing. This paved the way for a more realistic stance from an initially, aggressive prosecution. Ultimately, he was able to produce the result he had hoped for and predicted. My sister received a much fairer/ smaller sentence than what the other side had demanded. My family will be ever grateful for this man’s determination and careful preparation.
