Amazing and Honest!

I had a very weird and annoying case and frankly I was just in no mood to put up with some of the back and forth hat so many lawyers make you go through just to talk you BUT this was NOT how Ms. Guillen acted toward me. She answered the call and right away skipped all of the dumb verbiage and went st...raight into listening and actually trying to help me rather than just thinking about herself like most lawyers do. I explained to her my situation and she gave me so much valuable advice that I literally had no more questions after that and felt so satisfied even though my case was really weird and ridiculous to say the least! I am so happy that I called her and that I found her in general. She was so honest throughout the whole conversation and her intention was actually to help and not just to make a quick buck from you which is extremely RARE these days, specially in her field! Thank you very much and you truly helped me and gave me a happy week this week! God bless you!

Very helpful!

Attorney Guillen is a very knowledgeable and capable attorney. I sought her out regarding questions about tenant rights. She was quick to respond to my questions about my specific rights and provided guidance about which steps to take. Attorney Guillen is clearly very passionate about her work and ca...res about each individual client and getting the best outcome. I highly recommend her!

"I had the privilege of working with Juanita Guillen-Mellman this past year, doing mostly housing law. Juanita is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and compassionate attorney; but she is also strong and resilient. She does an amazing job at helping people to remain focused on their goals, or on the other pressing matters at hand. She is thorough and organized, but can also push through if there are bumps in the road. I sincerely think that Juanita is a great person to have by your side."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
