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!

Joe is not only an exceptional lawyer but a genuinely good guy. We were referred to Joe by the LA County Bar Association to represent us (3 family members) as defendants in a civil lawsuit. Joe was the 3rd lawyer we interviewed but he clearly stood out as he listened and provided his honest, straig...htforward assessment of our case. We hired him and he proved to be exactly as advertised...smart, patient, level headed, and ALWAYS there for us, anytime with any questions. Our situation was stressful but Joe knows how to put things into perspective and really cares about his clients. Ultimately, Joe helped us win our case...I highly, highly recommend Joe to all my friends & family...a no-b.s. lawyer that knows the law, knows legal strategy and most importantly, puts his clients first!

I decided to consult Jose after reading his reviews on avvo, and am really glad that I did. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, genuine, caring, and attentive. I didn't end up going through with his services after having an extensive discussion with him on the pros and cons of pursuing my part...icular case, but I really appreciate him being so sincere and generous with his time. The consultation was free, and I honestly wish I could give him more than 5 stars; he really deserves it. Very grateful for his help. Would HIGHLY recommend without any hesitation.
