Click to report rating    10/24/18 Mr. Guggisberg has provided the best legal representation I could ever ask for. From the first visit to his office to the last day at trial, he was always gathering evidence, asking detailed questions and getting the best results. A TOTAL ACQUITTAL!! I recommend this lawyer 100%. With Mr. Guggisberg you will have someone on your side to get the best results for your case. His office has a welcoming and knowledgeable staff, Melissa provided me with so much comfort and guidance during an extremely rough time. There are no words to describe my appreciation for a job superbly done. I strongly urge you to contact Guggisberg Law Office if you are looking for the best Criminal Law practice in the city of Sarnia RID: 204827
Click to report rating    9/23/18 Excellent Lawyer, the BEST Criminal Lawyer around, very knowledgeable, works hard, doesn't beat around the bush he tells it like it is, communication is good he listens to what you have to say, and is not afraid to stand up and fight for you. RID: 203815
Click to report rating    7/26/18 I've seen and dealt with some pretty crummy lawyers in my time. They don't listen to you or want to understand. It is like you are talking to a wall and when they lose a case they simply shrug their shoulders and walk away. They don't care about you. The opposite is true with regards to Mr Guggisberg. After spending a year or so studying Sarnia lawyers at the County Buildings on my off days, Jamie is one of only a few solicitors I would recommend for someone facing serous court action. His ability grasp the situation, defend and negotiate on behave of his clients is the mark of a person passionate about his work and the people involved. As a client not only was I struck with his tenacious professionalism but also by his personal charm and commendatory which extremely important to those experiencing a legal crisis. I felt he had my back and when court time. High praise indeed but he deserves it. Out of all his many many cases, he has only lost three. Not bad compared to the others Merci RID: 201979
Click to report rating    1/25/18 This is an absolutely horrible Lawyer. His only interest is in taking your money. In the beginning he makes multiple promises and assures you not to worry. He drags the cases out over and over again. If you try to bring up concerns he shrugs them off, but it soon will become apparent your case is not a priority to him you will have to continuously remind him of details. He makes promises and assurances and then never follows through and forgets. After many court date remands, he will forget the promises he made, and your case details and when you try to ask him about his progress from what he told you earlier he becomes rude and insulting, as if it was never said. He encouraged me to plea bargain after he told me he had a deal. He became insulting and called me names and co-erced me into a plea I will get under conditions. At sentencing he was un-prepared and the so called deal was not honored after I met the conditions. He was basically mute at sentencing. Awful experince. RID: 195230
Click to report rating    8/3/17 This guy is fantastic. I contacted his office distraught, spoke to his secretary who assured me he would be in touch as soon as possible. Moments later my phone was ringing and it was him. He calmed by nerves and listened to my situation. Though he could not give specifics he eased my mind just like his secretary said he would. Highly recommended. RID: 188568
Click to report rating    1/23/13 Guggisberg understands innocent till proven guilty and due process and equality of citizens in our society. Even if guilty as charged he will make sure you get a fair trial and all rules of our courts are upheld in a fair and equitable manner. RID: 99005
Click to report rating    1/14/13 Terrible time in the end with this lawyer. He made everything sound good and like everything would turn out fine. Told me I would get house arrest, instead got a year in jail on my FIRST charge. If he wanted more money he should of said so, money was not a problem. But i heard of people paying him way more than i did and got off with a way bigger charge than I had. He obviously knew how much time I would get,(plea) and did not tell me. Instead had me thinking I was going home that day, not 8 months later. Lost my good job, and Grandfather died while in Jail. RID: 98397
Click to report rating    12/1/12 When others thought I was wasting my time and money, Mr Guggisberg skillfully navigated his way through the court system to hand me a victory. It didn't happen over night but worth every nickle in the end!! RID: 95907
Click to report rating    10/6/12 The first 5 star review is totally incorrect. He is a 1 star. This lawyer didn't show up for the meeting he scheduled pretrial & didn't reschedule. So I went to trial unprepared and without knowing how he was going to handle it. He showed up completely unprepared and had facts of the case wrong. Some comments he made seemed as if he was working for the other person. He is expensive. He's not a successful lawyer since he's moved three times in last year, and I have read several news items where his clients have been convicted. Hire someone else. RID: 92716
Click to report rating    2/29/12 Freindly, knowledgable, reasonable cost, and successful with my case. You feel at all times that he is looking out for your best interest. I would suggest you write up a one or two page summation of your case and then present it to his secretary when you make your first appointment with him. RID: 64936
