Dr. Larry

You won't find Joe on the front pages of your newspaper or as a TV commentator. He unassuming and polite, however his clients are both attorneys and judges. I have known many attorneys over a great many years and Joe is simply masterful at his craft. He's impeccably prepared and his strategy is f...lawless. Bravo!

Godsend

Without Joseph A Gutierrez we do don't know what we would have done. Someone was definitely looking out for us when he was recommended to us. He was there for us in so many facets outside of being our lawyer, he truly felt like family. If you need a lawyer whose is intelligent and beyond hard work...ing-that is not an over exaggeration-you cannot go wrong. We cannot overemphasize the character of this man. When we met Joe in our situation we were beyond rock bottom. He fought and fought for us and was relentless, and in the end in paid off. He changed and saved our lives, we owe him more than he will ever know.

Amazing Lawyer

Thanks to Joe Gutierrez, he was able to get me a full dismall of my case. As a licensed professional, a full dismall is what I needed, and Joe worked relentlessly until the that goal was met. He worked hard and kept me updated/informed at all times. Communication was easy via email or phone. I wouldn...'t recommend anyone else for your legal needs. Joe is a top notch lawyer and a great guy who cares.

Weak cross examination

I thought he was too soft on the victim on the stand. He almost looked like he felt bad for him and ended up losing the case.

Excellent attorney

Joseph Gutierrez is a consummate professional. He is a very experienced, hard-working and smart attorney who has worked as a public defender and then became a criminal lawyer. He does his research and due diligence on every case and will ask many questions along the way. He himself or his staff respo...nds to every text and email and is very organized when working on a case. He will stand up for his clients and will not be bulled with District Attorneys or Attorney Generals who want a fast result. He studies the technicalities and details of every case and is very thorough in his approach which ultimately is his key to his success as a criminal lawyer. Trust me there is no one better in this field and you will be in great hands.
