I had such a good first impression of Joe during my initial consultation and he followed through to the end of my divorce. He and his team were readily available, provided me with emotional support and were very experienced. In my case, I relocated and needed to have my child with me with a long distance parenting plan. He fully understood my situation and really shined during my mediation. There was a lot of emotion that I experienced in my divorce, and Joe and his paralegal Cheryl were incredible at helping me feel confident and ease any fears I had during the process. What I like most about Joe is his realistic approach with my situation, and his integrity. I highly recommend Joe for anyone going through a divorce.
My lawyer was the.bestand his assistant Donna honest and reliable I would recommend
Mr. Gufford was an advocate for my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. He provided clear and concise communication throughout our process, as well as much needed guidance and support. Our family is eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Gufford without reservation.
Mr Gufford and his staff are phenomenal. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a family attorney. From start to finish they provided excellent service
I highly recommend Mr. Gufford if you need any help when it comes to Family Law. I retained Mr. Gufford once in 2018 and then again last year - both times when my ex tried taking my child(ten) away from me. I wouldn’t want anyone else to represent me if this was to arise again. Between Mr. Gufford and Cheryl (who is awesome & compassionate) I felt I was heard, represented and taken care of. They are are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend and also very thankful.
I contacted Mr Gufford about a medical provider issue. He spent a good bit of time listening and getting all of the information needed. He then gave me suggestions to help us out. To date we have not proceeded with the next steps in this matter, but he was kind and knowledgeable and did not even charge for his time.
I retained Joe for my divorce. My exwife was trying to relocate across the country with my young child. Bottom line, she is now staying in Florida the next 14 years, I have 50-50 custody of my child now, and I am finally free of the ex. Joe and his staff(Cheryl on my case) will treat you with respect, be upfront and honest with you about everything, and keep you up to date on everything going on. Even during Covid, my case from start to finish only took about 10 months to be completely finalized. Before you go with anyone else, meet with Joe and see for yourself. Joe is the way to go! Highly Recommend!!!
A few months ago my 21 year old son got into some legal trouble at College. In a panic, I quickly called Joe for guidance. Joe called me back right away and after explaining the situation, he lead me to a Defense Attorney. My son and I were able to see this attorney that same day which meant the world to us being in such a panic. Thanks to Joe’s quick response, the situation was resolved and Mom was very relieved! Thank you Joe
My experience with Joe form the first time we spoke over the phone it was amazing. I decide to hire so and his team to take on my case. Joe and his team were always in contact with me and kept me up to date on everything going on from start to finish..
Joe and his firm helped me to get joint custody of my child that I was requesting. Smooth process start to finish
