Jacob Alexander Gurwitz

My husband was arrested in May, he was falsely accused of two counts of assault on a police officer and reckless endangerment and quite a few misdemeanor charges as well. The police offer stated that he pulled my husband over and when he "spotted something suspicious" in the vehicle, my husband pull...ed off but not before trying to hit him with the vehicle. My husband was not the man they were looking for, but he was facing at least 15 years if found guilty. I should mention that the officer waited a week and a half before he actually arrested my husband for this. We consulted with Jacob Gurwitz and he agreed to take our case. He worked hard to get the DA to bring charges down or get them dismissed altogether. Without going to trail, my husband would have had to do jail time either way. We decided to take it to trail. I sat in the courtroom and watched Mr. Gurwitz work, so it should have been no surprise when the jury returned with a not guilty verdict. My husband was facing some serious jail time for something he did not do and had it not been for Mr. Gurwitz my husband would probably have missed his daughters birthday, along with our 10 year anniversary. Mr. Gurwitz is a no nonsense, straight to the point, won't sugar coat anything, kind of lawyer. Without him, things would probably have turned out differently, and not in a good way. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Gurwitz for all of his hard work.

I was charged with two felony counts of IDSI and various misdemeanors. This was after the initial charges were withdrawn and I was re-arrested. Mr. Gurwitz represented me after I had initially contacted another area attorney, who took me for $2000 and did nothing for me and a second who didn't want... to look at the case for under $15,000. Mr. Gurwitz was referred to me through a friend and I decided to give him a call. My case dragged out for about 18 months. Mr. Gurwitz met with me every few months or so. He can be short and too the point while meeting with him in person, but if your case goes to trial, he will have you prepared to take the stand. His unique style, his uncanny approach, and his court presence is extraordinary. Mr. Gurwitz is a genious. The smartest and most sauve lawyer I ever met. I heard people tell my family that I hired the best and this was from his peers. That was very comforting under the circumstances I faced. Mr Gurwitz used the preliminary hearing to get the answers he needed and at trial used the same information when my accuser tried to lie on the stand. He squashed her. I was found guilty of a misdemeanor criminal trespass, but found innocent on 6 other charges with various counts, including two felony charges. Mr. Gurwitz is not a counselor, he is a great lawyer. When you hire him keep it professional and he will do the same. Do not look at him as a person who will say it's alright and calm your fears. That is not his job. He will however fight for every client with the same vigor that he did for my case. Mr. Gurwitz knows how to navigate the government BS and get the job done. He will run every angle in his head and attack like a pitbull when necessary. I have nothing but praise for this mans abilities. He is a master of his craft. Take the time to read his bio. It is truly impressive. Thanks again for everything you did for me and my family.

I was found indicated for child abuse for disciplining my child by CYS. This was one of the was one of the worst day of my life. With nowhere else to turn, I consulted with attorney Gurwitz who gave me some reassuring words and told me not to accept the label of a child abuser. With time winding dow...n to appeal the decision of indicated, attorney Gurwitz made the decision to request a hearing for my case. At my hearing, attorney Gurwitz defended my right of being a good parent. I was elated when he called me approximately 1 month after the hearing to inform me that we won the case. I had no doubt that we would because he is truly an amazing attorney. He gave me my life back , I don't have to be afraid to apply for qualifying jobs to support my children, as this was my worst fear.

Charged with theft with unlawful taking even thou there was not much he could do he took on my case, he kept me out of jail and had the 2 counts of felony lowered to misdemeanor charges even thou I will have a record for the rest of my life it sure beats 14 yrs in jail and a record THANK YOU MR. GUR...WITZ !

I just returned from speaking with Mr. Gurwitz per a DUI case. I would like to say that although he could have strung me along knowing that there wasn't anything that he could do, Mr. Gurwitz did not. He reviewed the case with me, and told me that there really wasn't anything to be done to help me,... that I was hung, so he told me that I should save my money and not pay him to represent me. I respect his honesty and integrity. I highly recommend his services.
