Strongly recomment

I was a client of Jim Guziak; specifically he represented me in a case against a municipal agency. Jim was excellent. He kept me informed throughout the case and in the end it was settled in my favor. He is tenacious and intelligent. He reviewed the case thoroughly and provided accurate reviews of th...e status and possible outcomes. He was also empathetic to my feelings about the case. He is well versed on issues related to government entities and I would strongly recommend him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Jim Guziak for at least 10 years and possibly as many as 15. I first met him through our mutual membership in the California Employment Lawyers Association (CELA). Over the years, I've come to know Jim as a talented, hard-working, and ethical attorney. He's had some impressive wins in extremely difficult cases; I attribute this to his knowledge, experience, and dedication to his clients. Jim is a good colleague with a great reputation in CELA and the legal community, and I'm glad to endorse him."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
