Thank you for helping me

Attorney Gutierrez took the worry away regarding my guardianship petition. This was a complicated process for me but thanks to Attorney Gutierrez I was able to get through this stress free. She kept me updated the what, when, and where. I always knew “what happens next.” She is a very caring individu...al whom I enjoyed working with.
