Family Law, Criminal Law and Estate Planning

Pleasanton Family Law Lawyers

Legal problems often affect multiple areas of a person's life. At the Law Offices of John A. Guthrie, we offer a comprehensive approach to help secure our clients' interests. The attorneys at our firm pursue legal solutions that address the complete picture instead of offering a narrow perspective. For example, we address how a divorce could impact estate planning or how a criminal charge affects visitation and custody rights.

Experience And A Stellar Reputation

At the Law Offices of John A. Guthrie, our lawyers have been building our practice and a solid reputation with clients since 1990. Because of our reliability, many of our clients are referred to us from former clients, as well as from other attorneys and professionals who do not practice in our areas of the law.

Pursuing Long-Term Solutions In Family Law

When you have questions in family law, we have answers. Often, a divorce involves a number of financial and legal issues potentially impacting you and your children for years to come. We are a skilled legal team prepared to explain how marital property and business assets are divided, how child support and spousal maintenance are determined, and what factors the court uses in determining child custody.

The depth of our law firm also includes handling contested and uncontested divorces, high-asset divorces in litigation and mediation, and domestic violence issues. Our firm's Pleasanton family law lawyers have the skills and determination to help secure the best interests of you and your children.

Securing Financial Futures And Protecting Clients' Civil Rights

No matter the size of your estate, you should have a will and a living will. These documents, when drafted by a competent attorney, can save your loved ones time, energy, and unnecessary stress should you become incompetent or disabled, or suddenly pass away without your affairs in order.

Hired Attorney Carla Passero

Carla is the best Attorney. She is calm and caring. She listens to your concerns. She is very organized and stays on topic. If it wasn't for Carla our case would've never been settled. I would highly recommend Carla to anyone needing an attorney. She is well worth the money. We appreciate all of her hard work and attention to detail. We can't say enough good things about Carla, we will never forget what she's done for us.

Hired Law Firm

I had made the mistake of hiring John Guthrie for a paternity/child custody case and he took full advantage of my situation. I paid all my bills up to the point of me realizing he was milking me for every penny and advising me into taking extreme unnecessary steps. I spent nearly 20k with them only to have to continue the process Pro Per as he had upset the judge to the point of no return. I explained my dissatisfaction and he told me he would write off the remaining balance which at the time I had thought was a few thousand dollars. Fast forward 3 years and he is suing me for 20k in “unpaid” fees and adding on daily interest at nearly $10/day for the past 3 years. I’m a single father without any help from my son’s Mom and struggle to put food on the table. John is fully aware of this yet he still chooses to come after me when he knows darn well I could never afford to pay what gems claiming I “owe”. What attorney would run up a 20k bill without payment? You’ve been warned!
