great lawyer and very responsive

Mr. Gurwitz helped me in a case where I was arrested for shoplifting. It was a stupid one-time mistake on my part, and fortunately he was able to get the court to accept my admission of an infraction, instead of a more serious misdemeanor charge.

Miracle Worker

Brian has represented my son several times when he got into trouble with the law due to his mental illness. Each time, Brian was able to work with the DA to find the best possible resolution for my son, getting the charges dismissed or lowered. Due to Brian's amazing skill, my son was able to enter a... hospital for treatment, rather than be incarcerated. I am truly thankful for what Brian has done for my son.

Above and beyond

I couldn't have been more happy with Brian, he did a great job representing me and my case. He was very professional, he and his firm knew their legal stuff. They helped me understand all charges against me and fought very hard for me. If I ever need a lawyer again, I definitely will hire Brian Gurwi...tz again. I recomend him to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer.

Life Saver!!! Beyond my expectations!!!

I have retained Brian Gurwitz 2 times and he has saved me both times!!! I would not be where I am today if it was not for him. 1st case was a DUI case, I was pulled over and given a breathalizer test and blew just below the legal limit but the police said they felt I was impaired. Brian Gurwitz got t...he case dropped to a wet reckless and no DUI!!! Next case was a lot more serious. I was arrested for Felon In Possesion of a Firearm. I had a lot to lose on this 1. I have a great job, had just bought a house, my wife was pregnant and I was the sole income in the house hold. A anonymous person sent a picture of me at a gun range to the local police department who then got a search warrant for my home and found legally registered firearms in a gun safe. Police said I was looking at 6 years in prison. Brian got me probation and 3 months of house arrest. I owe the life I have now to Brian, He not only saved me, but my family, and my home also. I don't go out looking for trouble, but when it finds me I retain Brian Gurwitz hands down!!! He will never sugar coat things and will be honest. He doesn't sell fantasies or dreams but does keeps you in touch with the reality of the circumstances you are facing. Most of all...he does an outstanding job. Thank you for saving my life Brian!!!

An excellent experience where you would not otherwise expect it.

In my search for an attorney, I came across several prospects that seemed knowledgable but also came off more interested in gouging me for money rather than looking out for my interest. There were also a few that just didn't seem to show any integrity which was definitely not what I was looking for. ...The "cheap" attorneys seemed more content in just pushing me to settle despite the ramifications. Brian charges a flat fee for service based on the amount of time he anticipates to spend on the case but that has never stopped him from putting in what I consider an extremely large amount of effort when necessary. He goes above and beyond and fought for me relentlessly (but not in a pushy or combative manner) but was also wise enough to show me which battles were worth fighting and which weren't. As a former DA turned defense attorney, I trusted him to understand the ins and outs of the system and he did not disappoint. An extra bonus was that he recently brought on Kyle Molchan who has just also been an incredible asset when I'm unable to reach Brian immediately. Kyle shows the same integrity and the synergy they have is great. I can't say enough to show my appreciation for all Brian and his team has done for me but would highly, highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for criminal representation. If anyone is looking to contact me directly as a reference, let Brian know and I'll happily do so.
