Shockingly Incompetent

It is shocking how lazy and useless he has been. I have had to beg him repeatedly to do the simplest acts, like write a letter, or find out the status of my case. I wait weeks and still nothing happens. I've literally been waiting six weeks for him to make five minutes of edits on a letter. He got a ...big chunk of my money up front and hasn't done a thing since. I don't know how this guy hasn't been disbarred.

Brilliant

Mr. Goodwin took my late call and spent twenty minutes discussing my estate/ probate issue with me. He gave me excellent opinions of the issue in general and specific to my issue. He listened when I spoke, and spoke in a way that made me listen. I would recommend you speak with him( and listen closel...y to him).

Estates and Trusts

In a trust case, Attorney Albert Gurevich did a fabulous job sorting through the facts, meticulously to get to the heart of the case. There was quite a bit of study involved. He kept great records and everything was filed on time. He is very responsive and took the case to judge enforcement. He is a... real professional. I would rate him a 10 and give him a top 5 Star rating, he's the best.

great lawyer

Mr. Albert Gurevich is one of the best lawyers we have ever worked with. He has a gifted IQ in observation and memory; he`s extremely personable and responsive. He's very efficient in billing and has great attention to detail. He has great patience with difficult people. He has a morality that is... rarely found in New York attorneys. He will do what he says. You can depend on him. He has helped us immensely with trust law.

HORRIBLE LAWYER

He did not fight hard at all for me while inside the court room. The attorney was just there representing me an his presents made no diffrance. I was made to pay more than 17% due to the fact that the judge had figures stating i made more than i did, as a result i became homeless. When i call MR Gur...evich for desperate help HE DID NOTHING!!

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.
