Joseph and his team did a super great job for me in my divorce. Donna was my assigned paralegal and she did her part with great expertise and patience. Even though I do not know anything about computers, Joe and Donna got me through a very complicated and difficult time .

I hired Joe to advocate for me during my divorce. My situation was complicated, as I relocated to a different state and needed my child with me. He was very knowledgeable and realistic with my situation. I appreciated so much his hard work, thorough knowledge, and when it came time to set up to bat for me, he did an amazing job. He knew the risks, and how to navigate through my divorce which alleviated a lot of my fears. We were able to resolve the case in mediation, and Joe did an amazing job. He understood my situation and really shined in getting what I needed in the agreement. I am so grateful

I contacted this law firm for a "free consultation" and had an appointment scheduled within a day. The office was quiet and peaceful. The staff was gracious and accommodating. Mr. Gufford was very professional as he asked many questions about my particular divorce case that involves a minor child. I feel he went above and beyond in sharing his knowledge and expertise. I was very grateful for the extra paperwork he printed out for me to assist in protecting myself and my child in a court of law. I left the Gufford Law Firm feeling less stressed and more hopeful, even in the midst of divorce litigation

Mr. Gufford was an advocate for my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. He provided clear and concise communication throughout our process, as well as much needed guidance and support. Our family is eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Gufford without reservation.

I have known Joe Gufford both personally and professionally for well over a decade, and have had several cases with Joe as the opposing counsel. I have always found Joe to be extremely knowledgeable, well prepared and a very worthy adversary. Joe resolves his cases effectively and appropriately, yet he is never afraid to litigate when necessary. It is for these reasons that I recommend Joe!

I recommend The Gufford Law Firm to anyone who wants a competent lawyer at an affordable price. The staff is very friendly and professional. Cheryl was always pleasant and patient. After discussing my concerns with Attorney Gufford at the consultation, I felt confident he and his staff would work hard on my behalf. Attorney Gufford is very experienced with over 30 years of practice in marital law. I wish I'd hired him first rather than going to the lawyer I had prior. I can go on and on about why I recommend Attorney Gufford. If you don't remember anything else remember this, I GOT THE

I retained Joe for my divorce. This wound up being the best decision I could have made during a very hectic and difficult time. Joe and his staff will guide you every step of the way. Cheryl was wonderful and always just a phone call or email away whenever I needed anything. At the end of the day my case took under 10 months to finalize during Covid and I have 50-50 custody of my child now. I had the exact outcome I was hoping for and it is thanks to Joe and his professional staff. They will treat you with respect, be upfront and honest with you about everything, and keep you up to date on your
