Deborah Pauline Gutierrez

Ms. Gutierrez represented me in a wrongful termination case against my previous employer. I was wrongly fired in retaliation after I reported my boss's sexual harassment. Deborah was smart, tenacious and strategic. She was able to settle the case before going to trial and I am so grateful for all she... and her staff have done. Almost as important, she listened and made me feel she cared. If you have employment issues, I highly recommend her and her firm.

I was recommended by a friend to contact Deborah at the Law Firm. I was a little concern because I have dealt with several attorneys in the past that promise me the world an never come through. The situation that I was in, was kind of a unique. I owed more money on my house than it was worth due to m...y HELOC loan. I explained my situation to Deborah and she was very honest with me from the get go. Like any person I was very nervous because I owed about 78,000 on my HELOC and was about 6 months delinquent. I was current on my first loan. It took Deborah about 5 months to complete the settlement with the BANK that owned the Heloc. But all said and done she saved me thousands of dollars and her fee to represent me was very reasonable. I would say she was an attorney that really came through and did exactly what I was looking to accomplish. Once again Thank You to Deborah and her staff.

Deborah created an estate plan and Living Trust for my family. My parents are Spanish speakers and it was incredibly helpful that she could speak with them in Spanish. We feel much better knowing our property and assets are protected in the living trust. She explained everything in detail and was ver...y responsive and professional. I have already recommended her to friends and family.

Deborah Gutierrez aggressively presented our case before a very biased Federal Court Judge. When he dismissed us, she did not give up! She filed our case with the 9th Circuit Appeals Court. She was always prepared, and ready to state the facts in our case. Unfortunately, things did not turn out i...n our favor, but it was definitely not because of our lawyer. Deborah fought hard for us, and was always professional, yet compassionate. I believe she really cared!

Effective attorneys guide you through that steeplechase and treacherous swamp that is the legal system. They navigate potential for disaster to arrive the best available outcome. Great attorneys are creative and diligent, they employ creative thinking that can yield solutions others fail to fathom. ... With firsthand experience, I can confidently avow that Deborah Gutierrez is a great attorney. As an advocate and guide in legal matters, I can recommend Deborah without qualification or reservation. My wife and I failed repeatedly in a six year attempt to negotiate with a large bank’s mortgage company. They repeatedly failed to offer an alternative to foreclosure on our home. Prior to contacting Deborah’s firm, we’d worked with another law firm for more than two years without a favorable resolution. We applied multiple times for the Home Affordable Mortgage Program without a successful result. Deborah took our case, and forced the bank to take us seriously. The bank’s attorneys continued to be less than cooperative, but with Deborah’s determined, persistent advocacy, we were granted a loan modification. Deborah is dedicated, thorough, smart, funny, and empathetic. Competent lawyers keep one another on their toes. A strong-willed champion like Deborah knocks her adversaries back on their heels. She uses her expert skills and intelligence as weapons to fight for her clients. We are grateful to Deborah for her expertise, passion for justice, her determination, and expert advocacy.
