Thank you so much for your hard work. I thank God for finding you, I truly believe he put you on my way because you were the best warrior to fight for me. Thank you so much for believing in me since day 1. It’s been so heavy on the mind and on the heart, but I you did everything possible to be my vo
Deborah was fantastic. I was kept updated on all the representation and they went after and got what was a truly wrongful experience at my ex-employer. They knew how to get a settlement as well as understand me as the client. Thank you for all your assistance and helping me.
I’m a true believer that all things happens for a reason. I never thought I would say being unemployed by AAA was the best thing that ever happened to me! Not only to mention meeting you and having the security of you defending me was the best! I just want you to know how thankful I am!
I want to attest that my attorney Deborah Gutierrez did a great job with my case. She is an excellent lawyer. She fought very hard to solve my case and she succeeded. I am very happy and satisfied with her great.

Settled my second mortgage (HELOC)
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.

Deborah Pauline Gutierrez's Lawyer Endorsements
"Deborah cares about her clients. She's been doing great work in this area of practice for a long time and continues to show an aggressive approach to an ever changing area of law. Highly recommended."
"Deborah is an excellent attorney with very good knowledge and understanding of the factual and legal issues surrounding this area of law. As someone who worked for 27 years in the financial services industry and who has been a panelist in a foreclosure presentation for the State Bar of California I have long been impressed by Deborah's grasp of the nuances of mortgage lending. Potential clients should completely disregard the politically motivated findings of a corrupt state agency when considering hiring Deborah. Additionally, potential clients should keep in mind that clients who complain about foreclosure related representation almost always have unrealistic expectations of the outcome of their cases incorrectly believing they are for some reason entitled to a "free" house. I would encourage anyone with legitimate foreclosure related legal issues to contact Deborah and see for themselves the depth of her understanding of this area of law."

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.
Suspension stayed, probation issued in CA, 2014
updated on 10/06/2016This means the attorney did something wrong and could have temporarily lost his or her license to practice law. Instead the Hearing Board placed the suspension on hold, monitoring the attorney’s behavior for a period of time.
Deborah’s comment:
“The ethical issue involved was regarding fees clients paid to a third party in 2010. I represented homeowners in foreclosure and helped them save their homes, no clients ever made complaints about my representation. I disassociated myself with the third party and have succesfully represented hundreds of clients since then.”
