About
What makes me unique as a family lawyer is that I have directly represented children in court who often have come from divorced/separated parents where physical and/or emotional abuse is often present. This has given me insight into how to effectively advise my family law clients in navigating the court system in order to reach their goals and to minimize the emotional damage that often comes with litigation. I have been recognized throughout the state for my passion in protecting children and I offer these experiences to my clients beginning with a FREE consultation.

My husband and I hired Joe to represent us on a custody case. I had previously worked with another lawyer who I felt was not what I was looking for. I wanted someone who understood me and what this case meant to me. I got on the computer and researched and researched until I found Joe. From the first time I spoke to Joe, I knew he was the right Attorney, he explained everything to me step by step. I felt that he understood the emotional side of my case. In my particular case, my daughter's grandmother would not return my daughter back to me. As any mother can imagine, I was devastated. I could not sleep, eat. The stress was so bad. Joe is not only your lawyer, he is your friend. He will answer any emails promptly and will re- assure that he will do anything that is possible within his power to help you. Anyone who wants a respected lawyer by their side should have Joe Guillama as their attorney, he is well respected in the court room by all, specially the judge. I would truly say that he is the best Attorney in Berks County!! You want to win, you have to have Joe with you, I will never forget the way this man represent me in court, I felt like he put 110% out there for me and my family! Thank you Joe, because you have changed my life, I know have my daughter living with me. Not only do I have my daughter but I have soul custody of her. Do not take your chances. I also read this reviews, when a client takes time to write a review, its for a reason. So again, do not take your chances. HIRE THE RIGHT LAWYER, ATTORNEY GUILLAMA IS THE 1!!!!!
Choosing Attorney Guillama was the best decision I could have made. Unlike other attorneys that made me feel discouraged and overwhelmed with fear, he took the time to break down everything and explain the legal processes in a simple matter. Attorney Guillama is truly compassionate for his clients and will fight for you every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and will help his clients through even the messiest of situations. I am so thankful for all of his help, experience, knowledge, and faith in me as a client. Attorney Guillama was the best investment I have made in a long time for myself and my family. I would recommend him to anyone going through family matters in the courts.
Let me start off by saying Joe is hands down a life savier! I spent a good 5 years going back and forth with the mother of my children and my previous attorney who was clearly just taking my money and doing absolutely nothing for me. My ex attorney got me a crappy 60/40 split and would constantly, all but side with the mother of my children as if I were paying him to help her. I'd present him crazy amounts of evidence of their mother being neglectful. So much proof of her every few months switching up her partners and constantly boucning from house to house, CLEARLY not a stable environment for my sons! I finally had enough and ended the relationship with my previous attorney, I called up Joseph, he got right back to me, immediately scheduled me to come in and speak with him. Honestly I was a bit nervous, I truly felt I needed a woman to fight for me because I was getting drug through the mud for years in this battle, for which I thought was because I am a man, but I'm beyond glad I stuck with Joe. This man took the time to understand my frustration, he actually cared about the evidence I presented him, he had no issue going to bat for me, nor did he let my ex's attorney push us around, he actually put her in her place from the start. There were times I'd email this man over the weekend (I was assuming his days off, and even while he was on family vacation) to inform of issues I was having with meetings with my ex or whatever issues may have accrued concerning my custody agreement, and literally within the hour Joe got back to me. I mean when he replied during his family vacation to Disney World, I knew I had the right guy for the job. We made it to court in about 8 months of working with each other and I got a 90/10 split, thus giving me primary custody of both my sons. Meaning they live with me full time and see mom every other weekend, they go to my school, they are fully under my care. This man didnt give up on me, and I am beyond thankful for his hard work. If you're looking for a great family attorney here in Berks county, look no further because Joseph Guillama is the man for the job!
Where do I start!!! Joe was the 3 rd attorney I interviewed while trying to replace an existing one who did more harm than good for my case . What stood out was his ability to listen with empathy ,coupled with the knowledge of the law leading him on a clear path how to help me obtain a long drawn out divorce. Joe was very responsive to questions and concerns even in my manic moments , I usually received answers within minutes but no less than 24 hours, either through himself or his staff, which were also very Courteous . Joe did not plow thru my case Rigidly, by the book ,but allowed my input my gut instincts to help him with what I called critical replies to the opposing camp. This resulted in a huge favorable outcome in my divorce . If you are looking for what I called him the great and powerful Oz , no fake here, but just like Dorothy he got me home,safely divorced ,not letting my X due irreparable harm. It would be a mistake to hire anyone else !thank you Joe !!!

If you're looking for a lawyer who has you and your families best interest at heart Joe Guillama is your man. Joe represented me in a custody case where he kept my children's best interest at heart. My ex wife was looking for primary custody. Requiring the children to move from their current school district. Moving them out of their home with their step brother and step sisterHe stopped at nothing to make sure I knew what my options were and case scenarios. There was no sugar coating anything. He was always honest and upfront. Joe is very responsive to his emails. Joe was very accommodating at discussing issues after hours, as far as discussing things after my children were in bed so I didn't take time away from them. Joe is honest and upfront.

He is friendly and a family man. He has gone above and beyond to help us with our situation. We couldn't have been more pleased.
tough time. We had been dealing with a mother of one of my children who often had his safety in question. Joe went to fight for me for this and another court dealing. Joe knocked it out of the park both times and with such ease. You can tell he's very respected in the berks county area and knows mostly everyone in the courthouse. Joe worked with my family to arrange a fair payment plan,everything worked out perfectly. I would recommend him to anyone.
Hello everyone, first I want to start off by thanking Joseph Guillama and his office. If it wasn’t for him I would not have my son today. I am a 31 year old male who was seeking primary custodianship of my 8 year old son. The odds were already against me being that I am an active military member and the fact that I reside out of state. The child resided with his mother in Pennsylvania for the past 5 years. With that being said, Joe was upfront right away and told me this case was a long shot and there were no certainties of winning or even getting close to winning due to the circumstances of the case. I searched around numerous times for lawyers that were willing to accept the case and the uphill battle I would be facing, but none of them would accept it. Joe took the challenge after hearing my story and was transparent with everything he did. There was never a doubt in my mind that I picked the right lawyer to represent me. His professionalism, dedication, attention to detail and most importantly communication by far exceeded my expectations. The case took longer than we both anticipated due to the defendant not being cooperative but 10 months later, I have my son and I couldn’t be happier. I am writing this review to not only tell others about my successful story with Joe but to inform others, if you are seeking help from a well knowledgeable lawyer and if you are a service member than look no further. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Joseph A. Guillama. As any other lawyer the standard fee’s apply and might seem high to you but I promise you he is worth every penny.
