Gutheinz Law Firm, LLP

He returned my call promptly and explained the process and answered any questions I had. Very professional and knowledgeable!

As someone who has had an unfortunate run in with the law I can truly say that Joe Gutheinz has your best interests at heart. He and the rest of his team are fighters; relentlessly fighting for not only your needs but for true justice to be done. I had no doubt my case would be argued in a manner which exuded class, professionalism, warmth, kindness, and most importantly strength. I cannot recommend this team enough!

Joseph Gutheinz is not just a Texas Criminal Law Super Lawyer but a Super Man as well. A former Army Aviator (Captain), he knows the law from the perspective of an educator, retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Certified Fraud Examiner (for 34 years) and lawyer for 26 years. He has served on three Texas State Boards and has taught for three colleges and a law school. He holds six college degrees, eight teaching credentials and ten law licenses. He is the recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and a Special Commendation from the United States Attorney Office for the Southern District of Texas. I highly recommend this lawyer who saved my life in court. His law partners, James O'Leary Gutheinz and Michael John Gutheinz, are both superb lawyers as well and are both Lt. Colonels in the U.S. Army Reserve.

I had the pleasure of working with Jim during my recent divorce process, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism and expertise. From the beginning, Jim was transparent, direct, and always kept me informed, making a difficult time much easier to navigate. He handled my case with care and precision, ensuring that every detail was addressed. His ability to explain complex legal issues in a clear, straightforward manner was greatly appreciated. The firm specializes in family, divorce, and criminal law, and their depth of knowledge in these areas truly shows. If you're looking for a law firm that combines professionalism with a personal touch, I highly recommend Jim and his team

Terrible. Do not go with this Lawyer for any criminal matters. They (Joseph) will make you try to take a plea deal even if you are innocent. I had a minor (B) misdemeanor in 2018. Criminal Trespass. I felt the case was bogus from the beginning and that I should never have been arrested. I was dropping off presents to what was, and had been my residence for 7 months prior to the incident. Long story short, I completed a 6 month deferred adjudication in early 2019. The entire time I was on supervision, and even when I was in court, this lawyer was informed the arresting officer on my case was under IA investigation. The officer was found guilty in an IA investigation. The lawyer was provided evidence regarding my case that could have exonerated me in 2018 and again in 2021. They never notified me, and again actually convinced me that a plea deal was a good idea. For the sake of you or your loved ones innocence and clear record, GET A DIFFERENT LAWYER.

Mr. Mike is a wonderful attorney and I recommend him 100%! Thank you! Chemeka Jones

ATTORNEY GUTHEINZ IS THE BEST!!! You will not regret working with him. He works very fast and efficiently as well. His paralegal Raquel Suarez is very awesome.

DO NOT recommend James Gutheinz. Not a competent lawyer. Very unprofessional, not compassionate, not reliable, not trustworthy... He and the opposing counsel had some type of agreement outside of the case...Their paralegal, Raquel, is very lacking as well. They never sent my paperwork to the OAG, and 7 months later I have to handle that portion on my own to resolve the fact the OAG believed I owed $2400 in back child support due to their ignorance and lack of thoroughness. Notice that bad reviews usually have same complaints. Horrible lawyer. Inept. Simply making money off of consumer's who trust in his lies that he tells you during your consultation. What he called a simple child support modification drug on. He even told me several times to just settle for the proposed amount by the opposing counsel, because someday I would possibly make more money and it would “even out”. WOW!!!

Michael Gutheinz was absoulety amazing! I have never been in trouble before so I was terrified. Everyone said this case will not be dropped. But he was able to get mine dropped. I'm not promising that for you as well. But I know for sure the Gutheinz' will do their absolute best to make sure you get the best deal possible. They will fight for you. I would pick this law firm over and over again. if I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Attorney Mr. Jim Gutheinz handled our custody case and was an amazing advocate. Never had any issues with anything! His communication was always on point, he handled the paperwork with ease, and was very diligent with looking out for our best interests and finances. Our first court appearance was the day of a family members funeral, but he still showed up to court because he knew how important it was and how hard we all had worked to get there. I would 1000% recommend Jim!!!!

Jim handled my case with professionalism and excellent dialogue and communication....I was never in the dark about what was going on. Highy recommend his services.

10/10!!! THANK YOU! Forever grateful for you, Mr. Gutheinz! He was appointed to me after having a nightmare of an attorney initially appointed to me. And as the clerk handed me his information, she whispered, “he is a really good attorney…” and she wasn’t lying. He was compassionate, RESPONSIVE, and dedicated a lot of time to ensure the best outcomes possible. I’m glad to have met you, and grateful to never be seeing you again! 😝🙏

He's a good lawyer,

Extremely recommend these guys for anyone looking for a lawyer who not only cares but gives undevided attention to every detail in your matter.

Best defense lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone who really needs a lawyer that puts a real effort into his cases.
