I researched, found and purchased a GMC truck on July 1, 2024 from a car dealership in Ledgewood, NJ. I was told the car was in excellent condition and was checked out their mechanic. On July 7, 2024 after dropping my grandsons home and on my way home I felt and heard a loud explosion underneath the vehicle and felt something dragging underneath the vehicle. I drove very slowly and loudly dragging something that had fell underneath the vehicle to a gas station right off the next exit of the highway. It was on a Sunday and about 90 degrees and no one was around. After about an hour a State Trooper stopped and asked if I needed help and tried to call a tow truck to help me. He finally found one that was closed but was willing to come and tow me home which was 50 miles away, at a cost of $450.00 and after being in the sweltering heat for 4 hours I was towed to a mechanic walking distance from my house so I could walk home. The next morning I contacted the owner of dealership and explained what happened and had him speak to the mechanic that told him the whole exhaust system, flex pipe and muffler( which had a hole) were totally rusted and fell off the vehicle. He told the owner that the mechanic that checked the vehicle out before I purchased it should have known the whole rusted exhaust system needed to be replaced. The State Trooper also said the same. The owner yelled he was Not giving me anything towards the approximate $3,000 cost to replace exhaust system, flex pipe and muffler, nor $450 Towing fee, nor taking his vehicle back and giving me my down payment back and hung up the phone on me. I decided to call a Lemon Law Attorney Service who referred me to Attorney Howard A. Gutman. The first time I called him and explained my situation and how difficult the owner was being not wanting to help me in any way, his professional demeanor and being sympathetic to my case not only provided me with security but went above and beyond my expectations, and he decided to take on my very difficult case. Attorney Gutman contacted the owner and soon found out he was not willing to make things right! Thanks to Attorney Gutman's excellence in client service, deep knowledge of Fraud, Warrenties, Lemon Laws, proficiency in thinking and knowledge and expertise in this field has been a valuable asset in handling my difficult case and has led to a successful outcome of him getting the dealership owner to pick up the vehicle and my down payment returned. I really appreciate what Attorney Gutman did for me! I admire his work ethic and his excellent representation. I highly recommend Attorney Howard A. Gutman to anyone looking for an exceptional Attorney.

Attorney Gutman is a consummate professional and an accomplished, helpful, and expedient attorney. I contacted Attorney Gutman years ago for a lemon law issue. The outcome of the case was expedient, fair, and exceeded my expectations. The customer service throughout the entire process five-star as well. I was so impressed with the service received at that time that years later I contacted him for something that had shown on my credit report... something I had no knowledge of. Attorney Gutman once again exceeded my expectations and helped to remove the ocurrence expediently and completely. I highly recommend him/his law firm for any issue you may have. Sure, he specializes in certain types of law, but if he can't help you, he will give you direction to help place you on the right path. He does it all with a friendly, can-do attitude and from a perspective of "I really want to help this person," than from, "this is just another transaction." There is significant difference between these two approaches. I prefer the former. Thank you, Attorney Gutman! The world needs more people like you.

After a year of trying on our own to have the car manufacturer repair a reoccurring problem on our new car we hired Howard. In our first meeting he gave us his honest opinion on what he felt the outcome could be. He worked hard on our behalf and we were highly satisfied with the successful outcome. We would highly recommend Howard if you have an issue with an automobile company.

Howard has been my lawyer for over twenty years. He has represented me on a few minor claims and an automotive accident. He has always given me an honest appraisal of the situation and has never failed to work hard on my behalf. I highly recommend him.

After several attempts at repairing a sofa we purchased from a high end furniture dealer, we requested a replacement. The company was completely unwilling to work with us. Howard was able to get the full purchase price refunded to us within a couple weeks. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

I am a paraplegic "wheelchair bound." I came across Howard Gutman accidentally while searching for a lawyer on the internet - I called his office and left my name and phone number. I really do not believe it was by chance....I believe God lead me to Howard Gutman - he is a true blessing! Here's my story. I received a wheelchair that was inappropriate for me - a lemon. I was told by the vender and many other people that there was nothing that could be done about it - I would have to live with the chair. Howard Gutman, responded to my call promptly and was very professional. He made many conference calls to resolve the problem. Howard always called me, I did not have to call him. What impressed me the most about Howard was his kindred spirit. I was not treated as a client, I was treated like a friend or family member. Because of Howard's persistent, yet gentle personality, I received a brand new wheelchair. It did not end there. Howard continues to followed up with calls or emails to see how I am. This man is not just a lawyer, he is a man of character that truly cares for people, and I believe he receives joy in helping other's.

Howard helped us get fully reimbursed for one year of lease payments for a truck about 8 years ago. Because of his expertise, we will be reaching out to him again this week for a mini-van. It's great to have him as a resource for sound advice and professional use when needed.
