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 hired Joe Utzurrum, Esq. of Utzurrum Law Offices, A.P.C., to help me with a what seemed like a completely frivolous lawsuit, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result—he got it dismissed. From the beginning, Joe was professional, timely, and transparent. He clearly explained the legal proce...ss and kept me informed every step of the way. What stood out most was the time he took to truly understand my previous business and the specifics of the case. That kind of attention to detail made a big difference. With Joe, you get a lawyer who is knowledgeable, thorough, and truly works for you. If you need a reliable and skilled attorney in California, Hawaii, or even the UK (he’s also a licensed solicitor in England and Wales), I highly recommend Joe Utzurrum and his team at Utzurrum Law Offices.

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.
