The Best of the Best

I’m currently working with my attorneys on a complicated criminal matter, and I can’t say enough about their professionalism and support. From our first meeting, I could tell they were extremely knowledgeable. They’ve taken the time to walk me through every detail and answer all of my questions with ...patience and clarity. Their competence and commitment have made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I feel confident knowing they’re on my side.

Forever Grateful

Finding John Zarych’s law firm and having Brenden Shur represent our relative was God-sent. We were profoundly humbled by their professionalism, dedication, and determination to help families navigate the unknowns of the legal world. Brenden takes genuine interest in getting to know his clients, and ...his passion for justice coupled with his unique background allows him to present each case in a very humanizing context that the prosecution can relate to. We will forever be grateful to John and Brenden for their professional work, resulting in a just outcome that clears this client’s promising future. Thank you!

DUI/Traffic Violation Case

I experienced a blood alcohol level of a tenth above the legal limit, all while having three drinks. I was shocked by the reading, though I was dehydrated and didn't eat that day; I didn't think I deserved the 7 tix. I had an officer who wasn't the nicest person on top of it. Fast forward to the cour...t date, Mr. Shur found discrepancies and It was all dropped to a single ticket, and DUI wasn't one of them. I wasn't drunk nor did I deserve the extent of the tickets. Again, he found discrepancies which resulted in a single ticket that I deserved. Hire him - he may be able to have charges reduced to what is merited, and not what an angry, bald, short officer deems appropriate. Trust me, hire him and be your own advocate as well. Do not accept what was "handed" to you.

Excellent Lawyer

Put simply, if you are in trouble, you want this guy! My case was very complicated and Mr. Shur was able to handle every aspect of it with skill and intelligence. His work far exceeded my expectations as he was able to greatly reduce my charges in what seemed like a hopeless situation. I am very tha...nkful to have had Mr. Shur as my attorney. He is the very best at what he does.

2nd Amendment Win

I was denied a NJ Fire Arms ID Card. Mr. Shur pulled off what seemed to be an impossible win in this state. Brenden knew what had to be done and worked with an expert witness to get the job done. Very professional and very prompt answering questions and returning calls and emails.

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 23

Relationship: Co-worker

"Brenden and I worked together at a firm years ago. I had been working there for some time when he came aboard. We have both since moved on but have remained in touch. Brenden showed himself to be a fine lawyer immediately. He is aggressive with attention to detail and, most importantly, he genuinely cares about his clients, most of whom are facing very stressful circumstances. His goal is to achieve the best result possible and it shows. We are in the same practice area but I wholeheartedly endorse Brenden."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
