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.

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.

"The very best" Professional, knowledgable, works hard! He is a trial lawyer that will do the research and will explain the process to you. He is definitely worth what you pay! He worked on my case sometimes day, night, and weekends. I know because many times I met with him and worked with him. ...He'll never do anything unethical or dishonest. I was impressed that he was so responsive to my calls, texts , and emails. He fights hard for you. He was able to bring out the evidence and show it in trial using modern methods techniques like power point. He knows how to utilize expert witnesses and consultants. He is an expert at cross examining witnesses. He is very good at explaining the legal "mumbo-jumbos" that go on during a trial in a simple way so I could understand. I was referred to him by another lawyer. A true definition of a lawyer's lawyer. My family and I will always be grateful to him. You can't go wrong with hiring him.

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.
