Mr. Bluff provided exceptional assistance and expert advice for us when we were first creating our business. He thoroughly answered our questions and helped us set up the right legal structure for our business at the beginning.

Guy promptly replied to our initial communication and explained the path forward with his expert knowledge of our dispute with the companies. He was organized, very approachable, listened to our complaint and supported our input. His explanations were detailed and very understandable. His assessment and timeline for settlement were ‘spot on’. We highly recommend Mr. Guy W. Bluff and his team to provide legal services, as in our case, for his extensive knowledge of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Guy W. Bluff has been our only construction attorney/legal advisor for the past 38 years. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the construction laws and requirements and has been an immense help in formulating our contracts as well as handling issues that arise. He knows when we should litigate, and when we should just resolve the issue quickly, without spending any more money. We are always confident with his decisions, and we know he has our best interest at heart. We would not choose anyone else to represent us. He always has time for us and gives up much of his personal time to support his clients. He is the best!

If you are looking for someone with a lot of knowledge of the intricacies of construction law and many of the players involved, look no further. Mr. Bluff was extremely responsive and went above and beyond in explaining the details and the process and bringing my case to a good resolution. I'm pretty sure I'd still be stuck trying to sort my way through everything and not getting anywhere otherwise. Finding a good construction attorney in Albuquerque is quite a challenge and I consider myself extremely fortunate in finding Mr. Bluff! I highly recommend him and would certainly use his services again if the need ever arose.

Hired Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

I would like to praise the work of Attorney Mr. Guy Bluff and Gina Burke. I contacted and interviewed numerous attorneys before hiring Mr. Bluff for my case. He and Gina were extremely thorough and kept me informed during the entire process. They promptly responded to all of my phone calls and emails and always offered their ideas of how to proceed with my case. Being retired from a law enforcement career I have worked with numerous attorneys and was extremely pleased with the work and professionalism of Mr. Bluff and Ms. Burke which resulted in a positive outcome. I would not hesitate to retain Mr. Bluff should I ever need legal assistance in the future.

 
Civil Litigation

Hired Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

My husband and I tried our best to meander through the court systems. I will preface, we are thrifty and hardworking individuals. So, when this situation presented itself, I set off to figure out how to file the necessary Answer to Complaint, Motion to Remove Case from Mediation, Pre-Trial and then an Appeal. I thought I had everything moving in the correct direction and followed each step, but had not received the result we had expected. I then sent an email to Guy W. Bluff, Esq. and received a reply back from him. He would be happy to meet us! I coordinated directly with his associate Gina Burke to find a mutual time, scope of work, payment and sent the documents for review. She was lovely to speak with and promptly put everything together. I already felt relieved and cared for. Guy and Gina were both on the Zoom call and had already reviewed the documents! The meeting was thorough, informative and clear. We felt heard, relieved and understood the options. Yes!!!

Mr. Bluff was extremely knowledgeable in the intricacies of law and procedure surrounding my case. He was very responsive, even agreeing to meet with me on the weekend. This was refreshing in a place where it's a challenge to even get a call back, let alone a meeting. His explanations were very clear and he provided me with a set of options for moving forward. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney that is willing to take time and energy to really understanding your case and helping you understand what all of the intricacies mean.
