He has helped us with real estate matters, intellectual property matters, and has advised as to the family LLC. Each time we hired Mr. Guice, he proved himself as a stellar lawyer.

Trustworthy
after all these years, through thick and thin. Everything from our property issues (including serious ones after Katrina) to solving issues regarding our son’s medical problems, Mr. Guice has been here for us. (More stars are needed for *trustworthy* and *knowledgeable.*) He’s been practicing a long time – he knows the law and you can bank on his honesty, without a doubt.
