This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Informative, patient and honest

I received a free consultation with John Guthrie through Nolo Press, and would have hired him to represent me in a Domestic Partnership Dissolution, but he told me how to proceed with the particulars of my case in a way that I could avoid a dissolution entirely and simply amend my petition to annul. ...Thank you for excellent legal advice and for valuing integrity over the almighty dollar.

Highly Recommend John A. Guthrie

I have been an ongoing client of John's for the past 10 years. He has provided excellent and professional legal representation in the most difficult of situations during my divorce. When you are faced with circumstances requiring legal representation, naturally you choose wisely on who should represe...nt you. You expect their knowledge and law experience will advise you on a clear and concise course to resolution. I have received this level of support from John. What he brings to the court room above and beyond this is his ability to help you understand the law, explain its daunting process, and coach you through what can be very emotional times. John's representation of me all this time is a testimony to my approval of his services.

Outstanding Lawyer

John Guthrie is an outstanding Lawyer. He is very professional and really knows how to handle himself in a court room. You couldn’t ask for a better person or Lawyer representing you. I should know because he is and has been my Lawyer since 2006. So if you want to win and have the best Lawyer on your... side then pick John Guthrie as your lawyer.

TRULY AMAZING ATTORNEY!

I was pulled over in July of 2102 after drinking and driving. After receiving my ticket, and being ordered to appear in court, I had no idea what I should do. I am 46 years old, and have never been in any trouble with the law. A friend of mine referred me to John Guthrie, and I immediately fou...nd him to be intelligent, smart and sincere. Mr. Guthrie took great care to keep me informed throughout the entire process, and was a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely refer him to everyone I know! As a matter of fact, my wife and I are now going to have him handle all of our affairs. Thanks John!

Want him on your side

John was able to handle all my family needs. He is a tough litigator that is aggressive in court and fights for you. He has staff attorneys to help with workload so you don't feel like nothing is happening in your case. He is also fair and approachable in billing. He does charge slightly more than o...thers but if you have a contested divorce you definitely want him on 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.
