Amazing Heart!

I looked on the searching for a proper attorney for my son in trouble. After much research I found Brian and from the recommendations from his prior customers, I took a chance and gave him a call. Not only did I find him very knowledgeable but also very compassionate. He immediately gave a visit ...to my son in prison. And within a short period of time gained the trust of my son and took my son's truthfull image before the judge. My son is not a convict or deserved to be behind bars. He has made a few mistakes but is a very good and loving soul that was lost. Brian saw that right away- recommending my son to go to a rehabilation facility by the name of Delancey Street Foundation. It was the perfect answer for my son. My son had to write numerous letters to Delancey Street as per their rules to be sure he was a candidate for their program. He did this and proved his eligibility to the program and they accepted him. If it were not for Brian's faith in my son he would have spent years in prison which was the wrong place and may have hardened my son's heart. Instead, after two years at Delancey my son became a positive person who believed in himself with the esteem he never had prior. Thank you Brian for saving my son's life. Brian still today stays in contact with my son and follows through to help him clear his record. Brian is an attorney with heart. That is hard to find today and I will always appreciate what he did for my son. He even picked my son up from jail and drove him to Delancey Street Foundation at 2 a.m. in the morning after first taking him to breakfast. What attorney does that? I recommend Brian to anyone who needs help. He has heart!

Miracle worker

In Nov. 2012 I found myself in a really bad situation. I was fired from my job and was going to be prosecuted for Grand Theft. I had never been in trouble before and was scared to death, but knew I needed to get any attorney right away. I searched the Internet and contacted several...Brian was the fi...rst one to call me back. I made an appointment to see him the next day. He was very kind and listened to my story without judging me. He gave me a realistic idea of what I could expect , told me he would work to get the best outcome possible and would keep me informed as we went along. I left his office feeling much better and trusting that he would help me. I expected prison time or at best, house arrest. We went to court a few months ago...The results were truly miraculous! No prison time, no house arrest, no community service and the charge reduced to a misdemeanor when restitution is paid in full. Brian truly cares about his clients. He looks at the person you are and not just the crime you have committed. He has always treated me with kindness and caring, not like a criminal. He is very knowledgeable about the law and having worked both prosecution and defense gives him a lot of insight into the whole process. He has a great sense of humor and has definitely been able to make me laugh in the midst of a bad situation. He explained everything to me as we went along, telling me what to expect and then worked hard to make the situation the best it could be...he truly gave me back my life! His fee is very reasonable, I'm sure he spent much more time on my case than he was compensated for. I would recommend Brian to anyone that needs legal help. He is professional, funny and really cares about the outcome. I can never repay him for what he has done for me.

DUI Defense

Brian did an excellent job during pre-trial and the trial phase of our case. He did a great job requesting applicable evidence from the DA which ultimately lead to our sucessful defense of a DUI arrest. I highly recommend Brian and his team.

Brian Gurwitz is not only a fantastic attorney, but an incredible human being.

Brian Gurwitz is not only a fantastic attorney, but an incredible human being. I was referred to Brian by a family friend who used his services and successfully got out of a lot of legal trouble. When I first met Brian I was facing some pretty hefty misdemeanor/possible felony charges. I was 2...2 years old and without tons of money and scared out of my mind since I had not been in any sort of major legal trouble before. I also come from a less fortunate single family household where money is not readily available to say the least. Long story short, Brian took all of this into consideration and was willing to work with my budget. He not only cared about me and how he could help me, but also took a personal interest in who I am as a person. I was truly touched by his act of compassion for me and his willingness to help me. He is very well connected and ended up working out a deal with the DA to get all of the charges against me dismissed. I am forever thankful to Brian and consider him a true friend since he really didn't have to do what he did for me. Thank you Brian!

Brian Gurwitz is the BEST!

My family hired Brian Gurwitz in February to help me in a very difficult criminal case. I had just finished a trial where the jury was hung, 11-1 in favor of guilty. Brian accepted my case and started working. He immediately got me out of custody (first miracle). He then started working on my case da...y and night, keeping my family and I informed and updated through every step of this very difficult process. We went to trial last week and the way Brian represented me was amazing. He would pick up on every inconsistent statement from everyone that the D.A. brought to the stand. He did it with tack, skill and presented it in a fashion that brought out reasonable doubt. The jury came back with a not guilty verdict on BOTH charges in less than 2 hours of deliberation (second miracle). I had only hoped for another hung jury, I did not think it was possible to be found not guilty outright. Brian has saved me and my family from a LIFE long problem. I have never met a lawyer that cared so much about his client. I would recommend Brian to anyone that needs a lawyer, friend and savior. I could not be any happier with his service and I thank god that he got put into my life. Hands down, HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!
