Joseph Albert Gutierrez

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.

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.

Prior to selecting Joe as my attorney I must have interviewed with close to 6 other attorneys and once I met with Joe I immediately knew that I wanted him as my representation. I could tell that he genuinely cares for all his clients and it was evident by the quality time he dedicated to get to know... me as well as my case. I remember coming to his office the first time as a nervous wreck and when leaving feeling totally calm or just the opposite. What impressed me the most about Joe was his vast experience, knowledge, and dedication to my case. Even with all the uncertainty hanging over me I felt great assurance with Joe and knew he was going to do all he can for me. I felt like I was family or his own son at times the way he treated me and the passion he took in my case. My case never went to trial, however I heard that he is known for being an amazing trial lawyer as well. Not enough great things to say. Highly recommend!

God forbids one ever becomes a felony defendant, but like they say anything is possible. So once a person unfortunately and suddenly becomes a felony defendant, the obvious next best thing that can happen to them is to hire a “good” criminal attorney. Unfortunately I had to walk in those dreadful sho...es of being a felony {sexual assault} defendant for 2 good years. The experience was very scary and horrifying, and I was basically reduced to a walking dead. My entire family was in disarray. We went through different criminal lawyers until behold Joseph Gutierrez came in and calmed the storm. Joseph Gutierrez is an accomplished criminal trial lawyer. A lawyer’s lawyer full of courtroom skills and above all very knowledgeable of the law. So knowledgeable I once witnessed Joe educate another lawyer in the back corner of the courtroom. Matter of fact Joe spoke as the other attorney took down notes. So basically you hire Joe, you get the total package of a master criminal attorney who not only is he a savvy expert at what he does, but he will go to work and fight the hardest for you. He is so honest and sincere, he stays focused and engaged and will call and return your calls. He listens and digests information better, he stays up late working hard on your case and you’ll see the results. I tell you my case was very serious and complex, very explosive at the beginning with the DA and cops thinking they had a sure case until Joe came in and won it in a slam dunk fashion. He engages the jury very well and you can tell they love to see him in action. Jurors love him to the extent some were asking me for his number outside the courtroom after my unanimous 12-0 acquittal. And like I said earlier I went through different lawyers before another good layer brought in Joe so I clearly saw and know the difference. My family and I are so grateful to Joe.
