Jacob Alexander Gurwitz

Absolutely the most professional, honest, and skilled lawyer anywhere. RESULTS. No overcharging for busy work. He's popular because he's very skilled at what he does, and got a very serious charge dismissed that I was told was impossible to do more than plead out. If you have him in your choic...es because of his areas of specialty or location, THIS is your choice. Don't just take my word for it, check out his other reviews.

I had a yearlong nightmare finding myself falsely accused of domestic violence by a vindictive ex-girlfriend. I was charged with aggravated assault (felony), simple assault (M2), reckless endangerment (M3), and harassment. If convicted I stood to lose my house, career, everything! It was mortifyin...g. I have never experienced such betrayal or agonizing fear in my life. I turned to Jacob Gurwitz on the bail bondsman’s enthusiastic recommendation as well as my being wholly impressed with his bio. Our consultation on a Sunday night convinced me he was the man for the job. Through the entire process Mr. Gurwitz has shown me that he is Strategic, Competent, Charismatic, Honest, Captivating, Personable, Humble, Thorough, Funny (when appropriate), and Radiantly Intelligent. A true artist in the dwindling yet elite crowd of real trial lawyers; and an all-around good person. He is honest and frank - after all he is your lawyer, not your therapist. Regardless of my own legal research or hopes, all happened exactly the way Mr. Gurwitz casually and directly said it would. Leading up to trial every single move he makes, information he seeks or releases, questions he asks at the preliminary hearing, subpoenas he issues, motions he files, and the timing of it all is strategically done for the single purpose of making his case on your behalf, at the only time it matters – trial. He executes everything thinking 3 moves ahead like a true chess master, which he coincidentally is. During the jury trial, Mr. Gurwitz had a commanding presence. Whether he was citing applicable case law from memory, impeaching a witness, proving a difficult motive to prove; he made things crystal clear to the jury as he is a brilliant wordsmith and a magnificent communicator. Quick thinking and reacting to all developments in the trial coupled with his photographic memory (I thought he had a stenographer in his head!) and thorough preparation make him very powerful in that courtroom. Mr. Gurwitz also applies the human factor with emotional intelligence; adjusting tone, body language, empathy, and directness of questions based on the witness. My accuser’s self-contradicting and ever changing story would have made it easy for a lawyer to point in her face and shout, "liar!" Mr. Gurwitz did not do that. He flawlessly blew her fabrications wide open and showed her dishonesty in a gentle, factual, and elegant manner as to not garnish any sympathy from the jury. He represented me with class, dignity, and integrity. The DA’s office offered me plea deals but I refused to plead guilty to anything that I didn’t do. As a result we went to trial 50 weeks after I was charged. It lasted two days. I was acquitted on both aggravated and simple assault, and then the DA withdrew reckless endangerment and harassment. About 20 of my family and friends were present at the trial for my support. All of them were duly impressed with Jacob’s performance. Specifically my uncle, who has decades of experience as a translator/interpreter. He interpreted several felony trials in Federal and State Courts in NYC with some big shot lawyers involved, some of these trials lasted months. My uncle was extremely impressed with Jacob’s caliber and trial prowess. My family and I cannot recommend him enough! I truly hope nobody finds themselves in a position to witness this master in action, but if you do take comfort in the fact that you are represented by the best. Eternally Grateful, -Yogurts

When I recieved, in the mail, these charges against me in May of "08" I thought my life was over. This incident supposedly happened in Dec."07" on my last drunk. I went to the yellow pages and for some reason Jacob Gurwitz's phone number jumped out at me. I made the call and he sat down with me and a...sked allot of questions and really got to know me. I was looking at jail time along with the embarrassment. With Jacob by my side and his knowledge of the system i only ended up with probation for two years and my record being expunged. He accomplished this with ARD. I was told that this was very rare. I had alot of questions . Anytime I would call, Jacob would put me at ease with the answers he had given me. This young man knows what he is doing and most of all his honesty is of the utmost. He's a hard working professional that really cares about the people he represents. So if there is a problem in your life that needs to be cleaned up and you feel you have no where to turn just give Jacob a call and he will honestly let you know if he can help you. Most of all I want to personally thank him for what he has done for me

In 2009 I was at a crossroad. As many of us do, I found myself asking "how did i get in this situation?" Well, you can't change what has happened. However, you can change what will happen. I was attacked at a bar by a drunk heat seeking missile. As I was attacked something told me to defend myself. D...uring our confrontation I struck the so called victim with my beer bottle. I cut the victim on the forehead and neck. Both cuts needed stitches and he was taken to the hospital. Although I defended myself I'm sure you can imagine the trouble I put myself in. I was charged with agravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and disorderly conduct. All I could think of was "I wonder if Jake Gerwitz can save me once again?" I was facing state prison for the second time and once again Feeny and Gerwitz saved me from going to state prison. The extra effort put in by Jake Gerwitz at my trial paid off. He had all charges dismissed down to a dissorderly conduct. Once again I was saved from state prison by Feeny and Gerwitz.
