Michael L Guisti

THIS MAN IS A FRAUD!!!!!!!! I want to start formost by warning anyone who is willing to give Michael L. Guisti a shot at defending them in the court of law, this man is a horrible lawyer. HE WAS SUSPENDED AND DISCIPLINED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAR MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE HE WAS MY LAWYER!! AND FAILED ...TO INFORM ME !! WHICH IS AGAINST REGULATIONS, THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS BEEN DISCIPLINED AND NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME LOOK HIM UP ON THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAR WEBSITE , that way you don’t make the same mistake I did and hire this Rude, And unprofessional man who doesn’t care if you end up behind bars or not. He took my money which was 5000$, he was nice for about two weeks and then cut all communication. I had to harass him about the details of my own case. He only showed up in court to ask the judge for more time and prolong my case. Not actually doing any work. HE DRAGGED THIS BEHAVIOR ON FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS!!!! I was polite from the very beginning, asking him to keep me updated. He failed at that. He then Went weeks then months without texting me while I was concerned for my case. When asked for my money back he simply brushed me off just like he has been doing for TWO WHOLE YEARS. I had to hire A WHOLE DIFFERENT LAWYER just to compensate for his lack of skill and knowledge. MY NEW LAWYER IS THE ONE WHO RESEARCHED HIM AND TOLD ME HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE FOR YEARS. HE WILL TAKE YOUR MOMEY AND TREAT YOU LIKE CRAP. One person he even took 30,000 dollars from and didn’t do a single thing for them. This isn’t me being biased, it is all there online, factual evidence of what he does and enough is enough. HE NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED!!! It wasn’t until I told him I got a new lawyer that he started texting me back in a timely manner. Only because he didnt want me to make a complaint to the California state bar and write this horrible review. Please do not give this man any business. Someone as selfish and self absorbed as him should not be a lawyer. Save yourself. And save your money. I would give this man Zero stars if I could!!!!!!! MY NEW LAWYER IS ON TOP OF MY CASE AND DID MORE FOR ME IN 1 WEEK THAN MICHAEL DID FOR TWO WHOLE FREAKING YEARS!!! TWO WHOLE YEARS HE LEAD ME ON THINKING HE WAS DOING HIS JOB! HE WASNT!!!!!!!!! DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!! HE IS A FRAUD!!!!!!!

Attorney Guisti is an amazing attorney. He help me vacated a felony conviction after 31 years. Before Mr Guisti handling my case I had another attorney working my case and that attorney botched it. Attorney Guisti has to go back to court and undo all the damages. His knowledge of the law was the re...ason I am no longer a convicted felon.

I was charged with a felony and I retained Mr. Guisti. He was very caring and understanding over the phone and giving me logical advice as the case moves along. He got my case returned to the PD but He failed to follow up on my case when my case came back from PD and refiled under a different case nu...mber. So he did not show up to my hearing resulting in a warrant issued on me. it might just fell through the crack but I lost faith and confidence in Mr.Guisti because of it. It s unfortunate I had to terminate our client to attorney relationship up to this point.

Mr. Guisti has been nothing but a good fortune during the coarse period of taking care of my case (which took about a year). He listened to my case over a simple coffee meeting and he nodded throughout the entire session. What I loved about him is that not only was he helping me understand what kin...d of legal procedure that I'm about to go through, but also didn't forget to share some heartfelt life advice. It felt as if my older uncle was telling me that everything was going to be alright. The case itself was an arduous waiting task. As busy a man Mr. Guisti was, he was understanding enough to answer all my questions and frustration throughout the entire year. Sometimes he was unreachable but I tried my best to not bother him as I understood that he had other matters to attend to. A visual representation of how the case was going would have helped to ease my mind during the process but a couple phone calls was sufficient enough. The very first legal battle that I had I was glad to have Mr. Guisti with me along the way throughout. Even though he was my first attorney that I've hired, I'm more than satisfied to have hired him.
