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.

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...

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.
"I have had the great pleasure of working with Ari on cases, as well as having him as opposing counsel. He brings a high level of intelligence, passion, and advocacy to his profession. He is hard working, and always responsive to his clients' needs and as a result I have no hesitation in recommending Ari to anyone needing assistance in his areas of expertise."
"I've known Ari for over 10 years, and have had the opportunity to work with him on a variety of matters. His resourcefulness, relentlessness and ability to think outside the box sets him apart from most attorneys. I have referred friends, family members and clients to Ari, and will continue to do so without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Ari as opposing counsel and as a colleague. He was always fair and just but a zealous advocate for his client. I unequivocally recommend him and his firm."
