Highly recommend

Warren assisted my family after our father died and we needed guidance regarding the estate and selling his house. Warren very patiently explained step by step what needed to be done at every stage. His work was very thorough and his follow-through was excellent. He was responsive, always had time... to answer questions, and made a difficult time easier with his knowledge and expertise.

Greedy, impatient, unprofessional, presumptous and unhelpful

I called Attorney Hurwitz 4 months after my mother died regarding some concerns I had about the handling of her estate. He requires a consultation fee of $250 which he repeatedly and annoyingly mentioned several times during our brief phone conversation. Several days prior to meeting with him in per...son, I emailed him the pertinent legal documentation he asked for. Our appointment was on a Friday afternoon and immediately upon my arrival, Mr Hurwitz seemed as though he had somewhere else he would rather be. He abruptly demanded the $250 fee prior to the start of our meeting. I came prepared to meet with him with a few specific questions. About 10 minutes into the meeting, it became apparent that he did not bother to read the legal documentation that I sent him. I inquired as to whether he reviewed the documentation and he said dismissively, "who has time for that!" Mr Hurwitz could not speak with any professional or legal authority because he did not prepare or review the legal documentation of my case. Furthermore, after admitting he was ill prepared for our meeting, he became oddly and irrationally confrontational. He proceeded to ASSume that the reason the estate was not settled and my inheritance was not distributed, was somehow the fault of me, the beneficiary. I was not offered any legal advice, maybe my mother's estate was not large enough for his profit margin or his enormous ego. Please run as far away from this man as possible unless you want to be humiliated and lectured by a buffoon who likes to hear himself talk and not put in the time to answer any potential clients questions. I can't believe I had to pay $250 for this unprofessionalism.

I am sorry you had a bad experience with my firm. The matter does not sound familiar. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. I have been practicing law for over 30 years, and I have received very positive reviews from the vast majority of my clients--both on AVVO and elsewhere--for the legal services I have provided. If you will contact me directly, I would like to further discuss your concerns, and perhaps attempt to win back your confidence.

Satisfied beyond my expectations!

I live in Colorado and was extremely apprehensive when I needed to hire an attorney in Massachusetts, sight unseen, regarding a family dispute over my mother's estate. From our initial conversation, Attorney Hurwitz was sensitive to the situation, attentive to the details, concerned and respectful, ...as well as knowledgeable of my legal rights. He always discussed every option with me before proceeding and was very timely in our communications, whether by phone or by email. Warren was able to obtain the maximum settlement possible for me. I am highly pleased with his service and enthusiastically recommend him to others.

Very helpful

Warren was helpful in explaining my legal needs step by step as I addressed issues dealing with my husband's estate. I was able to depend on his knowledgeable counsel with confidence in dealing with the courts.

House sale

I retained Warren as my attorney for the sale of my mother's home whereby my mother retained a life estate in the property along with myself and a deceased sibling on the deed that had no will. There were some complexities with this sale that Warren was well versed in and handled very easily. Would h...ighly recommend him
