I just wanted to thank you for taking the time and explaining options. However limited or fruitless they may be, your response and time given are both truly appreciated. This has been the bleakest season I can recall facing in my 37 years, much of it being closed doors and endless, automated, cold shoulders or refusals of help in a landscape I don’t have a compass for. I can understand based on the information you were kind enough to give and with understanding, I can move on knowing the odds stay stacked against the poor and/or afflicted. No Shock there, business as usual. I’ll certainly take the time to give a review and thank you, as well as the people in your office, again, with sincerity. All the best, Jeremy Fields

Phillip and Patty have been so much help to me. My husband recently passed away, I was so lost and unprepared. They have been super kind and have given me directions on how to proceed with the things I need to do after my husband’s death. I highly recommend this law firm if you need some help too! Thank you Phillip and Patty for your kindness and direction Maggie Shouse

Phillip kindly, and with incredible detail, answered my initial questions/concerns on this Avvo platform. He helped put me at ease but I still had further work that needed to be done. I reached out to his practice and his paralegal, Patty, responded with just as much helpful information. The kindness expressed by the two of them, before I even SPOKE to them via phone, came through even in their e-mails and messages. I've now hired and am working with Phillip and Patty in order to further assist my Mom after my Dad's passing. I'm SO grateful to have found them and highly recommend! Thank you, Phillip and Patty!

Mr. Gunthert and his paralegal, Patty, handled my probate case with great sensitivity and efficiency. I had no troubles getting my mother's estate settled in just a few short months.

I required an opinion on an estate matter in Florida. I contacted Mr. Gunthert (after reading very positive reviews). He and his paralegal took the time to listen to my specific needs. Mr. Gunthert gave me great advice-explained every issue clearly. Highly recommend their practice.

I posted a question on Avvo about a probate situation. The law office handling my relative’s estate was not communicating much with me. Mr. Gunthert gave me a clear and helpful answer to my question. I had a number of follow-up questions (about the requirements for a final accounting, etc), and he took the time to thoroughly answer each one. I would have hired Mr. Gunthert if the law office handling the estate had not started responding to my concerns (fortunately, they finally did). He communicates clearly and is empathetic… it’s clear that he cares about people and is devoted to his profession.

I had some questions regarding deeds vs mortgage vs note. He promptly answered all of questions in English not legalese. I definitely recommend Phillip for any kind of Real Estate, probate etc issues.

I was selected by the family of my best friend to be the P.R. in her probate case. She unfortunately died intestate and even more unfortunate was the estate was contested and became very contentious at times. Luckily, I came upon Mr. Gunthert’s profile on the Avvo website. Mr. Gunthert called me back within 24 hours of my email to him and we talked for almost an hour so he could get a thorough idea of the matter. Thankfully, he decided to take the case! Mr. Gunthert and his paralegal, Patty, are very easy to work with and professional. They responded timely in all aspects of the case. Their billing statements are accurate, thorough, and easy to follow. The research Mr. Gunthert put forth in the motions and memorandums made him extremely prepared for the hearings. There were two big hearings in the case and Mr. Gunthert prevailed in both on my behalf. I’m very grateful to Mr. Gunthert and his staff for all the hard work they put forth in my case. I highly recommend this firm for any probate and estate needs.

Mr. Gunthert was one of the attorneys that answered my question on Avvo. I liked his response and contacted him for a consultation. and asked for his representation. He went above and beyond what was required to make sure my Florida Probates'; i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed, which is very important in Florida. Mr. Gunthert took the time to thoroughly explain all my options. Then he asked the pertinent questions he needed answered to provide what he considered would be the best option for my situation. With a thorough explanation on why he felt that way, I was very confident in his suggestion. The truth is, while Mr. Gunthert’s suggestion was great for my situation, it was not the best option for his bottom line. But I don’t think that mattered. It seemed Mr. Gunthert was more concerned with my welfare than his own. I am not saying Mr. Gunthert works for free, he would go out of business. What I contend is that he will always; always; suggest what is in the best interest of his client. That is how all businesses should be. But this is so rare nowadays, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the services I received from Phillip William Gunthert, Esq.

I live in another state and needed the advice of a Florida attorney based on advice from attorneys in my state. I was a bit skeptical of searching the internet to find someone who would give a consultation as there are several complexities to my particular situation. The matter was in regards to a Revocable Trust with the only trustee now incapacitated mentally due to Alzheimer’s and in regards to Durable POA with both documents executed under Florida law. The situation involves those who plan on physically taking this 90 year old to the bank, having her remove a large sum of money, through manipulation, knowing full well she has Alzheimer’s and cannot make sound decisions. The situation has many facets but Mr Gunthert spent close attention to all details, asked necessary questions and spent significant time giving his knowledge of the law based on the information I provided. Our conversation took a lot of weight and stress off of me! He asked for nothing! I have now decided to hire him. I have confidence in his capabilities and ethics.

Phillip returned my call on a Sunday morning, which was a pleasant surprise. I am from Wisconsin and I was inquiring about a Probate situation for my deceased mom, a Wisconsin resident, who owned a timeshare in Florida when she passed away. Phillip didn’t just feed me a line so I would hire him, he was very upfront and honest with his assessment of my situation. He gave me some very good advice, wished me luck and said to call him back if I need anything else. What a breath of fresh air.

Phillip wrote a detailed explanation for me that was very helpful for me to decide what to do.
