Great Lawyer and Great Person wrapped in one

2013 started off bad! I made a series of bad choices resulting in an arrest and facing multiple felony charges. After looking and asking around, I came across Brian Gurwitz. I decided to meet with him and right off the bat was very impressed with his experience and friendly demeanor. Brian made m...e feel at ease and reassured me that he would be on my side and work to get me the best results. When the DA finally pressed charges, Brian quickly acted to reduce the felonies to misdemeanors and my final sentence was a 120 sentence instead of several years in prison. Needless to say, this was a very frightening ordeal that could have resulted much worse. I was fortunate enough to find Brian to assist me with my ordeal. His cost was in line with other attorneys in the area but he provided me what no other could and that was piece of mind which is priceless. If you need an experienced attorney that will fight to get you the best results, Brian Gurwitz is that man!

Falsely accused of assult with a deadly weapon

Brian Gurwitz is an excellent attorney. Our son , a firefighter, was falsely accused of assult with a deadly weapon and vandalism. This person that made this accusation pushed my wife. I, a licensed professional, was also implicated and therefore we both needed legal counsel. We called at lea...st ten lawyers on a Saturday afternoon. Brian was the only one to returned a call immediately. One other called three days later. Brian listened to our situation over the phone for about 45 minutes on the first phone call. He arranged a meeting at his office on the next day, Sunday evening. He referred our son to another excellent attorney. Brian made all the arrangements with the investigator. Our son's attorney gave him exellent advice and referred him to a private investigator. Brian advised us what to answer and how to handle certain questions. He completely prepared us for our statements. He drove and accompanied us to the police station to meet with the investigator. He was with us the entire time. There was a disagreement between the investigator and Brian regarding my wife pressing battery. The investigator said, " filing battery this late will look vindictive." Brian told the investigator that in his professional experience as a prior District Attorney he has advised his client to press battery charges. Brian told the investigator that the DA will probably drop all charges against both parties when the case is reviewed. Also, he told the investigator, "If you file any charges of vandilism or assult against their son, I want you to file battery charges on behalf of my client at the same time." The investigator said "that will look vindictive and this could take months to resolve." It was about a month later that the investigator told our son that all charges were dropped. Brian is an outstanding lawyer. He communicated with our son's lawyer to formulate the plan. I highly recommend Brian Gurwitz.

How Brian saved my life & brought humanity back to the profession of being a lawyer.

This man without a doubt is worth every dime he charges. He is not just a lawyer collecting a fee, doing a job by making phone calls & pushing paperwork, he is a humanitarian and is really passionate about his clients’ well being. He was there in my time of crisis, giving me hope, calling me randoml...y just to see how I was doing, genuinely showing concern & care. He really looks out for the best interest of his client as a person, NOT as a dollar sign. When I retained Brian I was a wreck! I had been charged with two violent felonies and one misdemeanor. I was looking at a minimum of a five year sentence to a max of 10 years. In the beginning, it was all we could hope for just to get everything reduced to misdemeanors and serve a partial sentence. With his direction and counsel over the last year, I enrolled and completed anger management and domestic violence classes. Since the incident that occurred was the result of prescription drug and alcohol abuse, I also attended ADAT (Alcohol Drug And Therapy) outpatient rehab as well as individual therapy. He kept in touch with the DA and continually communicated with them my progress to showed them that I was NOT a danger. I had made a mistake. I was remorseful and sought guidance and counseling resources to gain back my life as well as correcting my addictive behavior. With Brian’s recommendation, The DA dropped ALL charges and closed the case. My relationship with my wife and family has never been better. Life is the way it should be. I am beyond grateful that I never had to go through the court system. Because of my hard work under Brian’s counsel and efforts, I am a new man with a new life. Brian has guided and counseled me as not just a lawyer, but as a friend. He really helps those who truly seek reform and will listen to his counsel. He was worth every penny and more! Thank you, Brian, for being the source for helping me get my life and family back.

Brian is absolutely a life-saver. He truly cares, is extremely knowledgeable, and very capable...

Where can I start? Brian literally saved my life. A mistake I made could have cost me my career, my home, and my freedom. After my incident, I placed calls to a few attorneys and left messages. Brian went out of his way to follow up with me on a Saturday afternoon having never spoken to me before.... He took time out of his Saturday for a young guy who was endlessly worried about his future. From there, I hired Brian and the rest was history... and a second chance for me was born. Brian used his expertise, industry contacts, and charisma to bring my case to the most amiable of outcomes. He was able to get me a dismissal on a felony charge. I would absolutely recommend Brian to anyone who is in a similar situation or any criminal defense situation for that matter. He is a man of his word, a friend, and a great attorney. Thanks Brian!!!
