"I enthusiastically endorse Eric. I have known him for many years, and his knowledge of New York medical malpractice law is second to none."

"I endorse this lawyer. Like his father before him, Eric is a formidable malpractice attorney. One of the very best in the State of New York. In addition, Eric also competently handles other types of personal injury cases with equal skill, dedication and success. If I were to be the victim of medical malpractice in New York, Eric would be on the very short list of lawyers I would be comfortable having handle my case. I highly endorse and recommend him."

"Eric is an excellent colleague. I handled a large, complex, litigation matter in state court in new york, and Eric was my "local counsel." But, he was no pro-hac monkey. Eric's knowledge of NY procedure, and the mentality of the judges was invaluable and instrumental to the victory. Based on knowing him through this experience, I would A) never hesitate to work with him on a matter in the future, and B) never hesitate to refer a matter to him. He is a top notch lawyer, and i am proud to have had the opportunity to stand next to him in court."

"I needed a lawyer in New York City for an unusual legal matter involving a young attorney who had sued much of the internet, including me. I saw Eric's blog, in which he shared his thoughts on the matter, and the fact that he was serving as local counsel for a group of defendants, so I called him up. Eric was kind enough to accept me into his epic assemblage of clients, representing some of the finest in both American and Canadian blawging, such that I frequently feel unworthy to be in such esteemed company. I can't imagine the headache of representing more than a dozen lawyers sued for something they wrote on their blogs, as we lawyers are a surly lot on a good day. Eric was more than up to the task. He handled our case with deft precision and panache, and fought for us tirelessly all the way to victory. If you need a lawyer, I can say without any doubt in my mind that even though I only know a handful of lawyers in New York, Eric is by far the best you will ever encounter."

"He's as solid as they come. Knows the law inside and out, advocates persuasively in court, and isn't afraid to stand up for what's right. Highly recommended."

"One of the greatest endorsements for a lawyer is to say "if I ever had a legal issue, I would hire this lawyer." I did have a legal issue, and Eric was my lawyer. He handled the case with kid gloves, letting me know what was going on at all critical times, and explaining his state's legal process from A to Z. I can't imagine having another lawyer as my lawyer for a legal issue in New York, there just can't be a better lawyer in that entire state."

"Here's what I can tell you. When a bunch of lawyers needed a lawyer in New York, we turned to Eric. That's because lawyers know that when they need a lawyer, they need the best. He is. To say that his efforts were exceptional is to say too little. Representing lawyers is monstrously difficult. We're picky. We're prickly. We're sure we know better. Eric represented us with style and grace and excellence. And oh, yeah, we won the case. Eric's real field is medical malpractice. Ours was a defamation case. If he's this good at something he took outside his field of expertise, just imagine how good he is at what he concentrates on. I endorse Eric without reservation."

"Since entering private practice in 2010, any time I receive a call from someone who was injured unjustly and needs representation in a civil matter, I consult with Eric. He always steered me in the right direction, and potential clients were always better because of his influence and assistance. Personally, I trust Eric with any matter, including my own. He is patient, detail-oriented, thorough, and a pillar of his community. A friend and mentor to many, he is what we should all aspire to be."

"Eric Turkewitz is a stellar advocate whose knowledge is evidenced by the fact that he successfully guided several other well-respected attorneys on proper procedure and practice before New York Courts, leading to the ultimate dismissal of a high-profile case. And anyone who's dealt with a group of lawyers before knows that telling a group of attorneys what to do is akin to herding cats. But Eric successfully did it. This knowledge, paired with his skills gained in years successful practice as an advocate for the injured, mean that he's on the top of my list when I need to refer a case to a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney in New York. I wholeheartedly endorse him."

"Eric is one of the best attorneys that I know. He is not afraid to try a case and do what he thinks is right. He is also a constant sounding board for me, with unmatched wisdom and guidance. When I have difficult questions about things, Eric is always patient enough to answer them. Eric is the type of lawyer younger guys like myself aspire to be. I wouldn't hire anyone else in New York for a civil matter or personal injury lawsuit. Eric represents everything that is right with the legal profession."

"When seventy-some lawyers who write (including me) got sued for defamation in New York, a bunch of us got together and hired a dream team to defend the case. We wanted the best, so we chose Eric Turkewitz as our local counsel. Lawyers and the mentally ill make the most difficult clients. Despite dozens of lawyers on our side and a mentally ill lawyer-plaintiff on the other, Eric managed to steer our case safely to dismissal. Defending lawyers sued for defamation by crazy people is not Eric's core competency—where Eric really shines is in helping people who have been injured by other people's negligence—but the talent, style, grace, and compasson (not to mention encyclopedic knowledge of the law) that Eric applied in winning our case are the same traits that make him great at what he does best: getting justice for injured human beings. I would refer my clients to Eric Turkewitz. I would refer my family to Eric Turkewitz. I refer you to Eric Turkewitz."
