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 !!!

Contacting and hiring attorney Joe Guillama was by far the best possible choice I could have made in regards to a family law attorney. Mr. Guillama fought for me very step of the way through my divorce, custody issues and even my child support ruling. Attorney Guillama fights for the men and women he represents while at the same time truly having the children's best interests in mind. I would absolutely recommend attorney Joe Guillama to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney he went above and beyond in handling all of my family law needs and I'm certain he could help you with your as well.

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 definitely is a man of his word! Joe will be used for any future needs should they arise!

Joe really cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond to ensure that your children are protected and aren’t unnecessarily brought into the court room, unlike some of the others. He is honest and upfront and really doesn’t wish for you to accrue unnecessary costs as part of his service. He is wonderful, gives me confidence, and has been very helpful in my difficult custody case.

Joe is a professional, determined and excellent attorney. He helped us finalize the adoption of our two sons, which our former attoeney didnt complete any work as promised. 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.

I have always been a little skeptical of lawyers so I made sure to do my research when my husband and I were looking for a lawyer to handle his new child custody case. From the moment I met Joe I felt instantly at ease and I knew we made the best decision hiring him. I can be a little long winded and wanted to make sure he had all the background information and new information of what we were dealing with. Joe took it all in and never asked me to stop. If I emailed him he would always get back to me very quickly. I appreciated that because I also tend to worry and over think things. Joe was always very understanding, paid close attention to detail, and was upfront and honest with us. We never felt we didn't know where we stood or what the possible outcomes could be. He would take the time to explain each step to us, which showed us that he cared. We decided to end our case before it was finished, but I wouldn't hesitate to hire Joe again if we ever needed a lawyer. His values, morals, and character are impeccable, and I would highly recommend Joe Guillama to anyone who needed representation. Thank you so much Joe for everything you did for us! We really appreciate it!

I hired Joe for sole custody of my daughter and sure enough that's what I got. He was the only lawyer who was willing to take me seriously bc im young and help me in any way he could. He was very professional, nice and understanding. Best of all he gave me piece of mind and never missed a beat. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I hired Joe for my custody and divorce cause I was looking for a family lawyer mainly a men's right lawyer, and it was the best decision I made he knows what he is doing. From the first time we meet at his office he was nothing but professional and courteous he told me what I had to do and what not to do, he was right on with everything he told me. He is a awesome lawyer anytime I had a question he was quick to answer and never failed to answer any questions no matter what they were. So I would highly recommend anyone looking for a family lawyer and especially men who want to know there rights to give Joe a call he is the best in town.
