Biography

The Hon. Gabriel A. Gutierrez (deceased) served as a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. Gutierrez was initially appointed to the Los Angeles Municipal Court in 1977. He was subsequently elevated to the Superior Court by former Governor Jerry Brown in 1979.


Over the course of his judicial career, Gutierrez sat as the Supervising judge of the Northeast Juvenile Justice Center as well as the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court. He retired in 1997 and joined First Resolution Services as a private mediator and arbitrator.


Gutierrez earned a B.A. from Santa Clara University in 1960. He then completed a J.D. at Santa Clara University School of Law in 1964.


After graduating from law school, Gutierrez began his legal career as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office of the United States Attorney for the Central District of California. Then, in 1968, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he briefly worked as a trial attorney for the United States Department of Justice.


In 1969, Gutierrez returned to Los Angeles. At that time, he became a partner at Sillas & Castillo, specializing in construction, mechanics & liens, stop notices, and bond actions. He worked in that capacity until 1972, at which time he was named commissioner for the Los Angeles County Superior Court.


His memberships included the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Mexican-American Bar Association, and the California Judges Association. He sat on the Board of Directors of the Western Center on Law and Poverty, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, and the National Association of People with Disabilities.


He was named Judge of the Year by the Pasadena Bar Association (1995) and Judge of the Year by the Constitutional Rights Foundation (1986). He was also a recipient of the Achievement Award from the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (1975).


Born in Los Angeles, California, Gutierrez attended St. Agnus High School. When not presiding over legal matters, he enjoyed golf, tennis, skiing, and coaching little league.


He passed away on January 13, 2021.
