Long-time excellent service

My husband and I went to John Guth over 20 years ago to set up our living trust. We were extremely happy with his service and the trust. Since then we have had to make carious changes, have moved several times & most recently had to deal with some serious medical issues that required paperwork being ...sent to various hospitals. He and his staff were very helpful, caring & kind during very trying and difficult times. We would highly recommend him and his colleagues.

John Guth is the estate attorney for our entire family. He is excellent at bringing us all together to have a plan for the future, that hopefully will simplify the process of passing on the family heritage. We trust him completely, and enjoy his friendship.

Client

After John created trusts for my wife and me, and we were very satisfied with his work, my sister and brother-in-law were in search of a Estate Planning Attorney. We all have a large accounting firm in Chico. They asked the C.E.O. who he would recommend to do their Estate Planning. He stated "Go with... John Guth, he is one of the two best in California, the other is in San Diego"! John has designed our Trusts plus our Generation Skipping Trusts to protect our farming operation far into the future. Finally John is an Attorney that you can talk to and enjoy visiting.

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.
