Legal guardianship over brother
Teresa Gutierrez was my attorney referred through Bet Tzedek to represent me in a case so that I could be legal guardian for my little brother. Teresa was very friendly, approachable and hands on with us throughout the entire case. She was a very effective communicator in every aspect and was very thoughtful and kept me informed in every step of the way. There were some obstacles we had to overcome but they did not waiver Teresa’s positivity or efficacy. Teresa even went above and beyond to answer all the questions I had before, during, and after the court hearings. She always made sure I was in the loop and gave me very valuable tips. She made time for us, whether it was a text, phone call, or in person meeting and I always felt positive about the situation because she is very competent in her field and she is very knowledgeable. Teresa was an absolute delight to work with and I would refer her to anyone I know going through a similar situation. Thank you, Teresa, for your time, effort, and kind words. You are truly appreciated and an awesome lawyer. Thank you!

We would highly recommend this attorney without hesitation.

Trust and Will
Teresa is a great attorney. The hiring was very convenient due to her billingial ability. She also came personally to our home to have us fill out all the paper work required to do the process, which was also very convenient. Pricing was reasonable as well as the time it took to complete the process.

Helped Me Clear Title to Home
In 2016, I contacted Teresa to clear title to my home. My spouse died intestate, and I had to get the property in my name. She guided me through this process, and she was very friendly and patient with me.
