Jose Isaia Ybanez Utzurrum

I am representing myself in a civil matter and needed specific legal help for an anti-SLAPP hearing. I was lucky to be referred to Avvo, and even luckier to find Joe—his experience in this area stood out immediately. Joe took the time to talk with me, educate me, and walk me through the basics so ...I could make an informed decision before spending money on document review. He was upfront, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me do what was best for my situation. Although I could only afford limited-scope assistance, Joe spent extra time answering my questions without charging for every minute. I paid for his document review, and when the time went over budget, I was more than happy to pay for the additional work because it was worth every penny. I feel my money was very well spent, and I hope to be lucky enough to continue working with Joe in the future.

We hired Joe for a defamation case. He had excellent communication and is clearly a competent lawyer. He listened closely and reviewed our evidence and documentation. Ultimately, on Joe's counsel, we chose not to pursue the case due to the prohibitive cost. We appreciated Joe's candor and honesty and... competence. Would recommend. Joe's parents raised a good man. :-)

I needed help with a Libel and Defamation case along with a cease and desist letter. Mr. Utzurrum was highly professional, quick to respond to my needs, in constant communication, and had an immediate positive outcome regarding my legal issues. His assistance resulted in a very fast and overt positiv...e response from the offending party, and I was able to get all the help I needed with Mr. Utzurrum's expertise. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs, he is licensed in multiple states, and has decades of experience. I am most satisfied with his representation, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in the future! Mr. Utzurrum is well versed in the law and he will quickly handle any legal needs you may have. Highly recommend!

I contacted Joe for my case I was being sued for wrongful eviction, negligence and infliction of emotional distress. My ex was bitter that we broke up he lied and said he served me and he didn’t. I had no idea I was being sued. When I found out I was being sued was when my bank account was garnished.... I contacted Joe from a legal referral company and he got right on it. He went to court for me and got the case conviction dismissed. He proved that I was never served. I still had trial in a year so 1 year later Joe got my ex to drop the charges and we never made it to court. Once I hired him I never had to step foot in court he took care of everything. He is smart and fair and I would use him again and highly recommend him.

I hired Mr. Utzurrum to represent me in a lawsuit filed by a shady business, which had accused me of defamation due to an honest Yelp review I wrote. Mr. Utzurrum handled the preliminary legal proceedings. Subsequently, I retained him as a consultant, leading to a successful resolution where the plai...ntiff agreed to a settlement of $0 and withdrew their claim, despite originally demanding $60,000. Mr. Utzurrum possesses extensive expertise in defamation law and used a practical, no-nonsense approach in his counsel. He is both tenacious and determined in his legal strategy, while remaining friendly, approachable, and able to explain case details. I strongly recommend him for anyone put into a predicament like mine!
