I hired Mr. Gutin to assist me in a very long ongoing child custody case. My case is very complicated and there were previous errors and wrongs by previous counsels. Mr. Gutin stepped up to the plate without hesitation and did an amazing job not only by filing brilliant legal documents but he is an amazing attorney and is extremely passionate about my case that had gone so wrong. His availability, his knowledge of the law, the ability to keep me informed was amazing and I had never been treated better as a client anywhere. He invested long hours and is someone I completely trust who will fight hard! I wish Mr. Gutin had been my counsel from day one. If you are looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and has a great knowledge of the law, don't look any further.

I have used Harley in all of my cases since December of 2011. He has been a great lawyer that has taken much of his time and went above and beyond what he was required to do. He has been very helpful, understanding and knowledgeable in all of my situations. Which has been quite a few in a very short time span which you are about to learn. Mind you, before all of this madness I didn’t even have so much as a seatbelt ticket and I was twenty six.
In December of 2011 I was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct. I didn’t know anything about the law or any attorneys. I didn’t know who to ask so I decided to ask my bails bondsman. He recommended Harley and said that he had used him in the past and didn’t know anyone better. So I decided to call him, little did I know this was going to be one of the only smart decisions that I was going to make over the next fifteen months.
I went to Harley’s office and he sat with me and explained that our best option was to ask for the diversion program. Which is a program that first time offenders can go through that requires you to complete a year of supervision and in return they will drop your charges. We went to court and that is exactly what I received.
In February of 2012 I drank again and caught another battery on a law enforcement officer and a DUI. Harley recommended that I plea guilty and that I would most likely get a year of probation. This is the bare minimum for a DUI alone. Before we could even get to court and ask for this I was arrested again for criminal mischief. He got that thrown out of court. So sentencing came and I received exactly what he said I would. One year of probation with the option of early termination.
March of 2013 was the big one. I was on a binge and I was arrested for my third battery on a law enforcement officer, violation of probation, and resisting an officer with violence. Harley had heard that I had been arrested and came to my aid yet again. The state offered eighteen months and was not going to let off. The law enforcement officer I hit recommended prison. Harley said that we had two options. We could accept the deal or we could plea to the judge. He recommended that I plea to the judge and ask for community control. We went to court and I spoke to the judge about everything that I had done and everything that I was going to do. I begged for one more opportunity. Harley told the judge “I know she can do this.” I will never forget those words. He was in my corner when everything and everyone most certainly weren’t. Our wish was granted. I was sentenced to two years community control followed by two years’ probation and all of my charges were adjudication withheld. This means that I am charged but I am not convicted. I successfully completed one year and Harley filed a motion to have the order modified to probation. I now have almost completed one of the three years of probation that I must complete.
He also got thirteen charges dismissed out of court that the state tried to tack on during all of my endeavors. When it was all over and done I spent thirty nine days in jail waiting for a court date. Since all of this Harley still continues to support me to this day. He has represented me in my injunction case against my abuser, paternity establishment, and has help set up a parenting plan. I have full custody of my children, full time job, been sober for twenty one months, and will soon be working as a substance abuse peer specialist. None of this would have been possible if Harley had not stood by me and fought for me each and every time.

I retained this firm on behalf of one of my kids many years ago and unfortunately didn't take the time then to give a well deserved 5 star review. During the [process I spoke with both attorneys depending on who was available when I called. They kept each other up to speed on the details so it was like having two awesome attorneys on the case. Steve was the one who represented in court and he was always so quick to call me and give me updates. His compassion and knowledge really took a lot of anxiety out of the whole event. Even when the court date was over he continued to make himself available and assisted with making calls and recommendations for treatment centers. His kindness was much appreciated and I am happy and proud to report with his guidance she chose the right path and has been sober two years and counting.
Thanks Steve you were a huge part in her success

I had been struggling for YEARS to find decent legal representation for my divorce/custody case. I have had to go to court in Ca a million times w 4 different attorneys and in Fl w 2 by the time I found Harley. He quickly took control and I was finally happy w my representation. None of the other lawyers put in half the time and effort yet they charged 2-3 times the price. Harley is easy to reach, easy to talk to and extremely skilled. I highly recommend Harley Gutin

Attorney Harley Gutin is presently representing me in a civil case and has represented me in the past in family cases. For eight years he has been the person I go to for legal advice. He does not charge me for calling him and does not bill me if I email him with questions. He gives me a clear picture of what legal obstacles I am confronting and the odds of succeeding. I highly recommend Gutin and Wolverton if you have a legal problem as they have always successfully fought for my legal rights. Kelly Wilkinson

My name is Jeff Friend and I was falsely arrested for DUI and Refusal to take a breath test.
The State chose to separate the charges and take me to trial for the Refusal first believing it would be an easy win for the State.
However, I retained Gutin and Wolverton and Attorney Stephen Wolverton was my trial attorney.
Attorney Wolverton aggressively crossed examined the arresting officer and gave a brilliant closing argument.
The Jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict.
What Stephen Wolverton argued was that there was no probable cause for my arrest so therefore that was no justification for the arresting officer to request a breath test.
I do not know of any other Attorney/Law Firm that has been able to receive a NOT GUILTY from a jury on a Refusal charge!!!!
Thank you Stephen Wolverton and Harley Gutin for representing me.
