Joseph Albert Gutierrez

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.

Joseph Gutierrez is a genius in and out of the courtroom. Mr. Gutierrez came to visit my son who was incarcerated on Sundays, holidays, and took my calls at all hours of the day. He is a kind, compassionate, and thoughtful human being as well as an amazing attorney. He was diligent, argued every moti...on possible and cross examined witnesses on every last detail. He did not leave a single stone unturned which is why my son ended up being acquitted of the 42 counts against him thanks to Mr. Gutierrez.

Joseph won dismissals in all six of my cases. The latest was the most challenging, made up of a Police Permit Review panel known to typically side with the City Attorney's Office and Los Angeles Police Department - a hearing in which you are definitely not expected to win. Faced with the possible rev...ocation of my license and the subsequent loss of my business, those days were filled with anxiety and concern. They need not have been. Following a 3-3 split decision at our first appearance, a second hearing was held in front of a seven-member panel resulting in a 4-3 majority and complete dismissal. In his presentation to the board, Joseph was extraordinary. Joseph came highly recommended by a friend of mine, also in the legal profession, who has known Joseph for a very long time and has had ample opportunities to witness his skill in the courtroom. "Juries like him". They most certainly do. And so do Boards. And so do clients.

I am a former Deputy District Attorney. I have known Joe for over 30 years, personally and professionally. He, always ,impressed me with his sincerity, honesty and commitment to what is legal and just. I opposed him in several cases and he did the best for his clients no matter what. He actually repr...esented me in a personal matter and won the case. I would trust him with any confidence and my childrens lives. He is an outstanding Attorney and my friend.
