The BEST Of the BEST

Brian Hurwitz is the absolute BEST personal injury attorney in Los Angeles. He is easy to communicate with, compassionate, professional, and has a thorough understanding of the law. He exceeded all of my expectations. I am so greatful that I found Hurwitz Law Group after my auto accident two years... ago. Before filing a lawsuit, the insurance company made me what I thought was a good offer. But when I brought it to Brian Hurwitz, he felt that I could get a better settlement. He continued fighting for me, going through litigation, depositions, and arbitration until he got the car insurance company to pay the POLICY LIMIT. I suffered from chronic pain and lifestyle changes after my car accident. Brian and his staff were both professional and caring. I appreciated that they wanted to make sure I was not stressed out by the legal process so that I could concentrate on my medical treatment. Brian is very thorough and detail oriented, and he valued my input and opinions throughout the case. During the arbitration process he was articulate and persuasive. He really understood my injury and the impact it had on my lifestyle. But most importantly, during my arbitration hearing, Brian communicated clearly and with conviction as he explained the impact that the accident had on all aspects of my life. I could no longer lead a normal lifestyle. He advised me appropriately on how to speak at my arbitration hearing. And he also prepared me well for my deposition. I am beyond happy with my settlement and cannot thank Hurwitz Law Group enough. I will forever be greatful for Brian Hurwitz. He is the Best of the Best.

Excellent Representation-Respect-Humanity & a GETS RESULTS ATTITUDE!

I cannot truly express just how good Mr. Hurwitz is as both an attorney and a human being. I was arrested and accused of Assault w a Deadly Weapon and was truly scared for my future. He was so kind and helpful with explaining everything to me before, during and afterwards of how "we were going to bea...t this". He told me he knew a lot of the folks in the DA's office and the City Attorney and since I had no priors and had never even been arrested this was going to be ok because he believed in me and knew I had not done this terrible thing I was accused of. He is exceptional in his professionalism and caring demeanor - he allowed me to pay in amounts over a period so I could afford his representation But he was ready to fight if that is what it came down to. His staff were marvelous as well listening to me and helping me feel less frightened of what might happen. In the end there was No Guilty verdict, No Jail, No Fines just a short conversation with the City Attorney. Brian MADE that happen through his hard work, constant effort and connections within the system. If you NEED an Attorney and are afraid or unsure of what to do just call HIM. You will never regret it. Brian Hurwitz is THE MAN!

Brilliant Criminal Defense Lawyer

Brian is an intelligent and professional criminal defense lawyer. I was referred to Brian. After trying to deal with the Los Angeles Court system myself and some other less talented firms, I decided to give Brian Hurwitz a try. All I can say is you get what you pay for. From my first phone call to ...Brian it was evident that he exudes passion for his work and truly cares for his clients. Mr. Hurwitz and his entire staff treated me like a family member and expressed genuine concern for my situation. His communication was excellent and I gained a much deeper understanding of the law and the way the court system works. I can not thank Brian enough for how he was able to restore my trust in lawyers after my previous lawyer said my case was hopeless. Brian masterfully navigated my case clearing me of the felony charges and enabling me to get my lie back. Do not bother to spend your money elsewhere, just go with the best from the beginning, Hire Brian Hurwitz!

Brain Hurwitz is amazing!

Everyone should hire Brian Hurwutz as their lawyer! My fiance was facing some bogus felony assault charges, and DA was not planning on giving him any deals. Brian believed in us though, and knew that my fiance did not deserve to be charged. He never stopped pushing, and insisting that our evidence be... looked at, even though it meant postponing several times and him having to drive back and forth quite a distance. In the end, his insistence got our case dismissed!! We are so thankful to Brian, and the entire team. From start to finish, they have been wonderful, professional, and made sure we were truly taken care of, during a very stressful time in our lives.

He beat a deck that was stacked against us! Great skill and poise! Exellent LAwyer, good man, great team!

My fiance was dealing with a vindictive parole violation accusation. She was accused of purposely tampering with her anklet when in all actuality, the device was faulty. We have done everything above board, fully compliant with everything parole had put on the table. Regardless of all we have do...ne right, they DELIBERATED and 24 hrs after we reported the issue to get it fixed, they hauled her off the jail while I was at school. It was not ever her P.O. but the supervisor that arbitrarily made the call. I knew that I did not want a public defender for something like this. They are busy enough. After shopping around and dealing with the extremely overpriced, to the downright rude, I found Mr. Hurwitz and his team. We talked at great length over the phone and even made a long drive to meet me at home. Their price was more than reasonable, and the professional sincerity of this man and his team were uncanny. First and most importantly, WE WON!!! Along with that he was able to assist us in matters outside the case at hand where the court system kept giving us the runaround. When it came to the case itself, we went over the facts and chronology multiple times. He rearranged his schedule to accommodate mine. He structured his argument and strategy, we collaborated on the focal points and fine tuned the line of attack that would be utilized. He made it a point to speak at great length with my girl and give her quality focus and attention as the case was explored. Before he even had to call myself or the other defense witnesses up, he had successfully cross-examined the parole representatives and gave my sweetie the room to simply be herself and explain each issue of parole, including the accusation in question. The Judge dismissed it! Mr. Hurwitz and his team are to be commended for their tireless and truly sincere efforts. They did not view us as a mere job, but as real people who wish to get on with their lives. I could not be more grateful for their work or even their price. Even with what they charged us, they are flexible to receive monthly installments instead of demanding it all up front. I HIGHLY recommend this law group to meet your needs when you need them met. God bless you all and thank you.
