"Brian and I worked together in the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Even as a new prosecutor, Brian quickly developed a reputation as a "lawyer's lawyer." Many lawyers in our office would call Brian to help them with difficult and novel legal issues. As he gained experience, Brian's abilities were called on more and more frequently and in some of the highest-profile cases handled by the Office. Further, Brian was known as a person of uncompromising ethics and the highest integrity. In addition, Brian is personable and well-liked by both his colleagues and opponents. He is an effective, dedicated and hard-working attorney and I would recommend his services without qualification."

"As a former Deputy District Attorney I worked with Brian when he was a fine, ethical, and aggressive prosecutor. I've known him as a defense attorney for many years and he is an equally fine and aggressive defense attorney who is tremendously enthusiastic for the positive outcomes of his clients as well as compassionate. He is a credit to the defense bar."

"I highly endorse Brian's work. I met Brian when we were both regional counsel to the Recording Industry Association of America: he represented the Western Region, I worked in the Southern. I was immediately struck by his great personality and the eagerness with which he approached his duties as an attorney, and since our first meeting my respect for him and an attorney and friend has only deepened. Throughout our working relationship I continually recognized his intelligence, his work ethic, and his ability to clearly communicate complicated legal issues in an uncomplicated and straightforward manner as his best assets. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending his services to anyone: I would trust him with any legal matter of my own, and will gladly refer to him anyone in his area who needs legal advice or assistance."

"I've had the privilege to know Brian Gurwitz for more than 12 years both personally and professionally. I've read the other endorsements posted by those who know him within the legal community and couldn't agree more with the accolades he has received concerning his legal acumen and courtroom abilities. I would however like to mention something else about Brian that I feel is equally important to those in the process of selecting an attorney to defend them in a criminal matter. What is so very special about Brian is that he is a wonderful human being. He is caring, extremely bright and works tirelessly to obtain the best results for his clients. I am able to see how deeply he cares for his clients, how he often he makes himself available to discuss their concerns day and night, and how committed he is to assisting clients both in and out of the courtroom. Anyone with the foresight to select Brian as their legal counsel has made a decision that will benefit them for a lifetime."
