Automobile Diminished Value Case - Highly Recommend Mr. Gorewitz

Mr. Gorewitz represented us in a diminished value case for an automobile accident we were involved in. He did an excellent job and we were successful in recovering from the other insurance company for our loss. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Gorewitz was always available to answer questions we ...had and did a great job keeping us informed on all aspects of our case. At our court date, Mr. Gorewitz did an outstanding job presenting the case, interviewing our expert witness to establish his credibility and methodology, and exposing major holes in the insurance company's expert witness testimony. He was very much prepared and ready to win our case given his 30 years of experience in the legal field. My wife and I would highly recommend Mr. Gorewitz for those in need of a board certified trial lawyer and we would definitely want him to represent us in the future if the need ever arises.

Excellent Representation

After dealing with another attorney for my case and ending up getting the raw end of the deal, I met with Mr. Gorewitz personally who reviewed my case, he found that I still had a case to pursue, immediately went after the person who caused my accident and the insurance company and was able to get th...e full benefits I was entitled to. Never a problem talking directly to the lawyer whenever I asked. Office staff were extremely polite and knowledgable and the personal experience of having a case with this office will be always remembered and will definitely be used in the future if needed.
