Credit To His Profession

I was victimized by what was essentially a "bait and switch" website, who sold me an airline ticket that I tried to cancel. The amount of money was less than $400, and I was informed by legal website referrals, that legal pursuit of that money would cost several thousand dollars. Jeff Kurzon heard ...the details of this matter, and CHOSE to represent me. He did NOT ask for a retainer, consultation fee, nor any compensation other than one third of whatever he would be able to recover from this relatively small amount of money. It was the PRINCIPLE of their unethical behavior that motivated him to "right" what he felt was a "wrong". He followed up on every avenue of his legal actions, I never had to contact him once for an update. He answered every call and email promptly and simply was not going to stop until he either recovered the money or exhausted all of his legal options. He did all of this in pursuit of a $360.30 recovery because he felt that I had been treated unfairly. Those are the types of lawyers you read about in books, or see in movies and TV shows. They are usually the product of idealized fiction. Jeff Kurzon is the embodiment of those romanticized characters. If I EVER need an attorney again, his will be the FIRST number that I call.

Unknown lawyer | Mar 05

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jeff and I have worked together on numerous matters, often closely, for now more than a year. He is a savvy corporate lawyer, a veteran at what he does yet versatile and intuitive when confronted with client legal needs or concerns across a broad spectrum of areas. Extremely smart, he above all is exceptionally devoted to his clients, who typically in turn exude full trust and confidence that he has all their interests well in hand; surprisingly many are effusive in their personal and professional regard for Jeff. Clients tend to retain him for repeated engagements and often refer him to friends/colleagues. Always well-prepared, diligent and can think out-of-the-box. A competitive advocate who you'd want on your side, he is principled, takes pride in his integrity and is a "mensch." I endorse this lawyer."

"It is a pleasure to endorse Jeff Kurzon as one of the finest corporate attorneys in New York.

Over the course of our interactions, I found Jeff to be focused on resolving client issues and addressing their concerns. His professional experience and dedication to his clients make it very easy to endorse and recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a zealous advocate who will help them achieve their business objectives."
