Joe was always there to answer the hard questions when I was served to appear in court in Texas on a child/paternity/support suit. His knowledge of the law helped me prevent the time and money to have to travel to Texas to appear in court when they had no jurisdiction to compel me to do so. I highly recommend him for any family law needs you have.

I have had the privileged of experiencing the legal expertise of Mr. Gufford. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the law and his cases. He has great communication skills and is very compassionate and understanding of what his clients are experiencing. He is very respectful in the court but also a bulldog. He is not one to be afraid to take on very difficult cases and he will turn them into a victory. I am very impressed with Mr. Gufford and highly recommend him.

Joseph Gufford and his staff have represented me in numerous civil and family law matters 10+ years. In the civil cases, Mr. Gufford was instrumental in mutiple victories against the biggest firms in town. His knowledge of the law is extraordinary and his staff always follows up on phone calls and emails in a timely manner. In one of the family law matters, one case involved an undisclosed professional sports pension that my previous counsel failed to find. Joe got me my part of the pension.

I highly recommend anyone with a comlex divorce to see Mr. Gufford. I had 31 year marriage. I jointly titled properties that came from a personal injury settlement, which I was told by other lawyers was just too bad. That money was supposed to support me for the rest of my life.!! I was also told that because my wife worked off the books that I would pay her alimony. Mr. Gufford thought otherwise and won my case. No alimony and I got the vast majority of the assets. Donna Milano was Awesome

I cannot say enough about Attorney Gufford and his staff. I was faced with an extremely troubling issue with which I needed council. Attorney Gufford and his staff stayed after hours to meet me and went above and beyond to help us. If you have need of council I cannot suggest anyone better.

As an active duty military member stationed in Alaska, Joes and his team worked for two years to close my case. I was deployed for a year of the two and he made sure I got the win. I would recommend his firm to anyone batteling with an ex. Thank you again sir.

Hired Law Firm

Recently hired The Gufford Law Firm, to assist with a custody/relocation matter. Joe and his staff went above and beyond to help me and my family in this matter. The result exceeded what me and family wanted. Joe was recommended to me by another lawyer that that said Joe is the one lawyer in the area he wouldn't want to go up against, and the only lawyer he would hire for family court matters. Joe was awesome to watch in court, and I now have an airtight agreement full of details I wouldn't

Mr. Gufford has been my ongoing attorney through my divorce and several on going child custody and financial matters since 2005. Both he and his staff have worked closely with me staying not only professional but up to date on all court matters in my cases. Through countless hours of emails, phone calls, and paperwork he and his staff have kept me honest and calm while always keeping both the law and the children's best interest priority. He has been flexible with his payments to help us.

Mr. Gufford is a great attorney who knows his business, having a quick response to all the questions, conflicts, difficulties. He can listen and do not miss the most important thing in the case. There were a lot of difficult things in my case. I appealed to many lawyers, but no one could solve my case in my favor. I lost hopes to win my case. When I come to Mr. Gufford’s office and met Joe I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but Mr. Gufford reassured and convinced me that he could handle
