Hired Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

I have worked with Mr. Bluff and his firm for several years. Our family hired him relating to automobile accident involving my two minor nieces who were injured when the truck they were riding in was stuck in an intersection by a drag racer. There were a number of children injured that day in the accident and he was able to get a very favorable verdict and payment their favor. He was relentless in representing them and kept us all well informed during the process.

Mr. Bluff was a lifesaver! I went into a consultation and he was extremely knowledgeable and thorough with each area of questioning that I had. I have never met another individual that is so aware of the construction industry and all the guidelines and statues regarding law and contracting. I will always use Mr. Bluff for all my contract needs including drafting contracts for future business projects and also to help with other parameters within his field of law. I highly recommend Mr. Bluff

We had a time sensitive case and he was able to review it quickly and help up get the ball rolling. Many other offices ignored us or denied us. Guy was so kind and understanding of our situation. All around an absolute pleasure to work with!

Hired Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

Mr. Bluff has represented my family in an ongoing property dispute with a litigious neighbor and has represented our case, both in filings and oral arguments with depth and strong support of the law. We recommended Mr. Bluff to another acquaintance who recently favorably concluded her case before a jury with Mr. Bluff at her side. Though our matter has yet to be resolved, we feel we are in a highly favorable position to conclude our case with an outcome that will put an end to the neighbor's thirst for litigation. Mr. Bluff is supported by a professional staff and associate attorneys who are highly skilled, responsive and very insightful in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of our and our opponent's cases. This is a valuable tool in helping the client to make informed decisions. Very highly recommended.

Hired Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

I am an elderly widow who was fortunate to have Guy Bluff and Assoc. as my attorneys. I was being sued for over six years by a habitual litigator. Guy represented and protected me from this person, allowing me to stay in my little cocoon world while he battled on my behalf and won. When Guy pleaded my case, everyone was focused on him. His arguments were truthful, and his presence was commanding. He aggressively fought for and defended me. Because of Guy Bluff I am finally able to relax in the knowledge that I can live free of worry.

Consulted Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

Mr. Bluff is extremely knowledgeable in contract and real estate law. He is able to explain difficult-to-understand legalese to the average person. Mr. Bluff cares about his clients and acts in their best interest at all times. I had the opportunity to consult with and watch him in a trial case that he won helping a family member. He is a seasoned litigator, is very engaging to watch, and is goal-oriented. I highly recommend Guy Bluff for any case you need him for.

Hired Attorney Mr. Guy W. Bluff

Working with Guy and his team continuously provided me with comfort, by constantly communicating with me, and always taking the time to explain the details of my case. I always felt understood and cared about, not a feeling that I would have anticipated having with an attorney. Lastly, Guy and his team included me in strategy discussions, so I truly understood why we were doing what we're doing and how in it would further my case.
