Teen legal help

Brian Gurwitz was very helpful when our 16 year old son was picked up for curfew violation and a minor in possession charge in Laguna Beach. Brian walked us through the court process and after completing a one day drug and alcohol class and 20 hours of community service, these offenses did not go on... our sons record. We are especially grateful since these convictions are reportable to colleges.

Brian was the answer to my prayers.

Brian was the answer to my prayers. I was directed to a website that rated attorneys. Brian Gurwitz came with glowing reviews from his peers including judges, lawyers and DA's. To me, this spoke to his honesty and integrity. These were other professionals he'd worked with. I retained him on the sp...ot even though I'd planned to interview three lawyers. I was impressed with his focus, his honesty, personableness and his knowledge of current legal options. Throughout our attorney/client relationship, I followed his direction and placed my faith in him. I trusted him and his professional expertise. He consistently took my calls, usually on the spot, and if he was tied up, he'd return them within minutes. As I did the footwork, my self confidence grew. I committed to an action plan that would serve to prevent me from returning to my past pattern of behavior. I shared this action plan with Brian. My past behavior did not serve me or anyone else. Brian obtained the best possible result as he believed in my commitment. He knew "I got it." Thank you so much, Brian, for your support. I will sing your praises to anyone who needs an excellent criminal defense attorney who practices with honesty and integrity. You addressed my every concern. Your assessments of my situation gave me the peace of mind I so needed. Thank you.

THE BEST!

I hired a DUI lawyer for my case and it was a nightmare. At one point I didnt even know when my court date was because it kept getting continued, in the end the papers never got sent to me and I had a warrent for my arrest. Freaking out, I looked on-line and found Brian, and he saved my life! I cal...led him around 3pm that day and said I needed him to be in court for me the next day and he was there. No questions asked, no waiting, I told him what happened and he fixed it. I tend to get in trouble sometimes, I'm not going to lie, but nobody has ever gotten me out of trouble so smoothly or as fast. Brian, you are the best! Thank you again!

A Life Changing Lawyer

As we travel every day through the journey of our lives, we never know what kind of life altering experiences we might encounter on that road. When I found out that my son was arrested, my life was suddenly struck and drifted in an unknown direction. As I was devastated, confused, and emotionall...y vulnerable, all I knew at that time was that I need to find an excellent criminal defense attorney who will be able to lead my son and my family through those difficult and unfortunate times. After hours and hours of online researching and reading numerous pages with the profiles of different criminal defense lawyers, I was fortunate to cross Brian’s Law Office’s website. After reading his profile, I realized that Brian had all qualities that I was looking for. Throughout his career Brian had an extensive and impressive experience both as a top Orange County, CA , district attorney/prosecutor and top Orange County , CA, criminal defense attorney in private practice. That experience gave Brian the advantage of the thorough understanding of the dynamics of both sides of the criminal law- prosecution and defense process. From the first conversation with Brian, you will immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment to his clients, and moreover, for his passion he exudes for his work. Any concerns I addressed were immediately addressed and all phone calls, e-mails, and text-messages were answered in timely manner. With his always attentive, courteous, and warm personality, he was not only there for my son, but he was tremendous source of comfort for the entire family as well. We have found that his integrity, professionalism, and expertise to be exceptional. Choosing the right attorney to represent you in a criminal matter is as important as selecting a physician when you are sick. You do not want to compromise quality with either situation. If you have an criminal defense issue that is making you and your family members sick, you should talk to Criminal Defense Attorney Brian Gurwitz. I highly recommend Brian to anyone seeking legal criminal defense advice.

The best lawyer in orange county

Brian is one of the best criminal lawyer I've meet. From the first day I went to his office he was honest with me. I found Brian's number threw the internet. I had a felony case where if sentenced I could of been locked up for yrs. MR. Brian told me he will do everything possibale for me not to go to... jail. But never promissed me anything. Well he was a man of his word. He did everything in his power so I wount go to jail. I was givin house arrest instead of 2yrs state prison. I am greatful that Mr. Brian was my lawyer. If you ever have a case in Orange County I highly recomend you hire Mr. Brian Gurwits as your lawyer. Best lawyer
