DO NOT HIRE

Pushed my lawsuit onto a lackey attorney that doesn't even work in his practice. Spent a fortune for the "Sunseri" name & have absolutely nothing to show for it. Terrible!!

Above and beyond, deserves every penny

After calling more than fifteen lawyers, Gusty team the only people who listen to us. Hour later of calling , Gusty his big move in our case and found our stolen Truck. When you work Gusty and his wife , you get all their attention and help. They are right in to action and worked with us after work... hours. Gusty is very busy attorney but he never hesitated to drive with us to deliver court order to the location where our truck were repossessed. A big company ordered repossession on our Truck and Gusty stopped that next day and force the company to release our truck. Then he didn’t leave us till finish the case for our benefit. Gusty , his wife and Salah work for us as true family . They are above and beyond in their service. Don’t think twice, will not be wrong when you have Gus and his team for your case. Can’t thank you enough

You can't go wrong with this law firm!

I cannot say enough good things about this firm. They helped with a few different needs including civil and divorce. The amount of attention, understanding and help they provided was above and beyond! Very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I would recommend Gusty and his associates... to everyone. Also, a big thank you to Salah. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

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

unprofessional and not as advertised

Their website claims they offer free consultation. I had a simplex tenant question and they wanted to charge me $600 to answer it. And if they could do something legally they’d charge $600 for a letter. I was given no consultation. I was only given their prices. They couldn’t tell me what the law was... pertaining to my issue and kept saying that it would be a complex analysis, which it certainly was not. I only asked what my rights were. I have dealt with lawyers before and have never been charged for a brief consultation. This place is an ambulance chaser.

Stressful legal Battles

Its a difficult time when you need an Attorney for family legal battles and hard to know whom to hire. I hired Gusty Sunseri and Associates when I was faced with a lawsuit. It was a decision that in the end proved to be the right decision. The firm represented me with care, compassion, and hardwor...k. They worked for me for close to 18 months. I am so thankful for all they did for me and my family. If I have any future needs I will use this firm and highly recommend this firm to family and friends. They are the best.

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.
