M. Brian McMahon's Lawyer Endorsements

Brian Neal Gurwitz headshot
Brian Gurwitz

Environmental and natural resources lawyer | Sep 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I opposed Brian in a complex environmental contamination case. His work was simply outstanding. He is an excellent attorney with the ability to boil complex matters down to their essence in order to advance his client's cause. Brian secured a dismissal in a case that was related to the one we litigated against each another. His briefs were among the most persuasive I've ever read, which is particularly impressive given the complexity and dry subject matter involved. Equally important, Brian is an absolute gentleman. Young lawyers wanting to know how to succeed in representing their clients, while remaining well-liked by their clients and adversaries, would do well to follow his example."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
