Harley Gutin and Stephen Wolverton represented me in a Florida RICO prosecution. {para}When it came time for trial Stephen Wolverton represented me in the courtroom and Harley Gutin worked behind the scenes. I truly owe both my life and no words that I state here could possibly express my thoughts. Without the zealous criminal defense of Gutin & Wolverton, I have no doubt that I would be languishing in a Florida prison, or dead, today.{para}Harley Gutin and his partner Stephen Wolverton are the best

I have been involved in a family litigation case that has gone on for years and very complicated . Mr. Gutin was attentive, honest, and a true fighter. Although previous attorneys had caused great harm Mr. Gutin jumped right in and fought the wrong of this case. He is someone who is great in court and being someone from out of town and trying to find strong legal counsel from afar, Mr. Gutin surpassed all with always being available, attentive to my questions, and a great counsel in court.

Harley has helped me get through all of my legal matters. He has been a great lawyer in all aspects. He helped me get away from my abuser with a injunction, helped me obtain child support, custody of my children and helped me stay out of jail with my drinking issues. He has been very knowledgeable, understanding, and patient through all of my issues. If it wasn't for Harley and his persistence and faith in me I am not sure I would be living the sober wonderful life I am now able to enjoy.

I am posting this review in rebuttal to the "peer" review posted on this site. I am a death penalty certified trial attorney with 15 years experience who has known Mr. Gutin as a colleague for 12 years and I can say that his experience and expertise in both criminal and family law is extensive and any statement saying he does not know how to handle a felony or a family law matter is uninformed, rude, ignorant and simply untrue. I have trusted Harley to handle my own divorce w/o reservation.

I am extremely disappointed and regretted on hiring Mr. Gutin to defend my DUI case 3 months ago. {para}Mr. Gutin showed me all his confidence and positive attitude on defending my DUI case as I consulted him. He assigned my case to his partner Mr. Wolverton, who he described which was his expertise. {para}As I was awaiting the court date, my husband found out a clear mistake on the court document that one of my charges should read as a 2nd degree misdemeanor, instead of 1st degree. My husband immediately advised Mr. Gutin of it. Mr. Gutin only replied us that it was a good find and it was never corrected however. {para}As I was notified by Mr. Gutin of my 1st court appearance a pre-trial court conference, he advised me that I did not need to make any decision as to plea or not during that date (I have been suffering from major depression and anxiety that I always cannot make a conscious decision without lengthy consideration). However, on the pre-trial conference at the court I was asked by Mr. Wolverton if I would accept the prosecutor’s offer on the plea. After being convinced by Mr. Wolverton that it was an unbeatable-like offer, I accepted the prosecutor’s plea offer hastily at last. Now, I greatly regret that especially when I have realized that there were different kinds of unexpected penalties which Mr. Wolverton had not fully advised me on considering the plea. {para}I find Mr. Gutin misled me on my DUI case from the beginning. He, as well as Mr. Wolverton, was not attentive on his client's case. They failed to give proper advice to his client. As soon as I have pleaded guilty to my case, Mr. Gutin was nonchalant and not at all professional on responding to my inquiries.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
