Simply The Best

In one of the most stressful times in a person's life it is imperative that you have attorneys that you can trust and always work for your best interest and that is Elliot and Ari Gourvitz. They made sure I knew every aspect of what to expect and how to navigate a very complicated process. It has b...een over 10 years since my divorce and I can still pick up the phone and speak to Ari and know that I will receive the same forthright advice that I became accustomed to during the actual proceedings. If you have to go through the process go through it with Gourvitz & Gourvitz.

Finding a Good Lawyer

After burning through 5 lawyers in two countries and three states I finally found Ari and Elliot Gourvitz. Guys, if you think you’re going to get divorced and that’s the end of it, think again. Ari and Elliot have stuck by me through thick and thin for over 15 years. I can’t imagine working with anyo...ne else. I give both of them my heartiest recommendation.

Freedom!!! And happy ever after...

I am very grateful to Mr Gourvitz for giving me back my Freedom. The day at our first meeting Mr Gourvitz advised me of possible outcome of my minor child relocation case. Mr Gourvitz also explained to my ex husband this possible result but my stubborn ex decided to fight me on every aspect of our di...sagreement. So we ended up in court and trial and the process has taken 15 months. After those month though the outcome was exactly as Mr Gourvitz advised on the 1st day we met which demonstrates Mr Gourvitz knowledge and ability to evaluate the trial decisions. He was honest and tried to help me settle the matter out of court but again my ex did not want to hear anything. So after couple of days of remarkable performance Mr Gourvitz set me free from my ex control and I was allowed to relocate to Russia with my 2 year old daughter! How brilliant is that! I paid dear for my freedom but this was the best investment I made in my life! And I thank Mr Gourvitz for holding my hand and walking along with me through the entire time of this painful and disturbing divorce time.

I fin!ally got the right law!

Ari took over after I finally got totally fed up with my original lawyer and got things back on track and and then things were resolved within six months. Wish I had heard of him a year earlier.
