Posted by Steve A. | February 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I couldn't ask for better service or representation

My case was a little different being that myself and my soon to be X had most items in our settlement already negotiated (we were planning on filing ourselves). Mr Guzik made sure that the spirit of this agreement was protected. If I had not had him represent me I would have left myself open to f...uture problems beyond what I have agreed to today. Mr. Guzik's staff is very personable and professional and Brian (sorry Brian I did not catch your last name - my apologies) was sure to make sure any questions or contact that I needed with Mr. Guzik was handled appropriately and in a very timely fashion. This is a top notch operation.

Excellent lawyer

I have worked with John several times regarding child support and divorce. I have recommended him to several friends and they have all been more then satisfied with his work. John is genuinely concerned for all the parties involved. He makes a point to get involved in understanding your perspective a...nd is very helpful with working solutions. I really appreciated that he has always explained the legal process to me. John has a great work ethic and he has never let me down. One of my friends who had John act as her divorce attorney was grateful that he even secured the family pet's future. He is accurate, well known in the system, understands the process and acts as a fair representative. He was excellent and I will continue to employ his services as my attorney as time goes on.

I highly recommend this lawyer!

I would highly recommend Mr. Guzik to represent you as your lawyer. Mr. Guzik is extremely smart, aggressive, hard working, and compassionate. Mr. Guzik knows what he is doing, and makes very sound recommendations to his client. I very much appreciated his ability to listen to what was most import...ant to me and then give brilliant legal guidance. When I was working with Mr. Guzik, I felt that I had his undivided attention, and that I was receiving outstanding legal representation. I never felt that Mr. Guzik was just looking at my case as what he could bill. I very much felt that I was in the most competent legal hands, and I was very appreciative of that. Mr. Guzik went the extra mile to ensure that my case was the strongest that it could be by his willingness to meet with me on weekends. My case was resolved by settlement that I was very satisfied with.

Posted by Aaron | May 02, 2013 | Child Custody

A knowledgeable, trust worthy attorney.

I have utilized John on multiple occasions. He is very knowledgeable about the law and well known in the community. He is trusty worthy and honest. One of the situations where he was my lawyer, was during custody of my son and I was able to get 50/50 custody of my child. Each time I have hired John I... have known that my case is in the best of hands. When I have had to go to court with John, he makes sure I have a complete understanding of what is happening prior to going before the judge and made sure I understood any deals that were being offered and they were the best possible choice for my scenario, also knowing my family situation knowing the importance to be able to remain working to support my children. I would definitely recommend this lawyer to others, especially to those dealing with custody cases.
