Best Attorney in Orange County!

My case takes 2 years and just recently got resolved. The case is complicated and serious since it is involved firearm. In the past two years, Brian and Gaby’s patience and kindness walk me through the whole process. I don’t know how my case will end up without their help. Finally, I end up with ...1 misdemeanor and 1 year informal probation . I thinks that is the best possible outcome I can get! I will come back for the expungement once I done the probation!

Simply THE BEST Criminal Attorney in Orange County

Our 20-year-old son was facing multiple federal charges pertaining to child pornography. Brian was able to work with him and take the necessary steps with a forensic psychologist, and other mental health providers, while proactively communicating and negotiating with the US District Attorney's offic...e and the Probation Department. Ultimately, with the US District Attorney and the Probation Department's full cooperation and agreement on a possible sentence, Brian presented this case to a judge who was notorious to be incredibly tough when it came to sentencing. Our son was facing 12+ years in federal prison but Brian was able to present the case in such a professional, convincing and succinct manner that our son was only sentenced to 5 years -- the very MINIMUM sentence he could have faced. Thanks to Brian, our son will come out of prison as a young man and still be able to lead a positive life. He will be able to continue to get the mental healthcare that he needs, as well as serve his sentence in a minimum security prison. This was not an easy process - when considering the overall case, the victims and the severity of a sentence. Brian made it much easier and we are so grateful to him. He is simply the best criminal attorney - more than we could have hoped for. Thank you Brian!

The Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Orange County

Brian is an amazing lawyer. More than that, he truly cares about his clients and will fight for them. Brian knows the law better than any lawyer I have ever met, and if you ask him a question about something he doesn't know, he will research the answer and get back to you right away. He helped u...s out on weekends and even on vacation. In the courtroom, he always knew what to say and had a very good read on what the prosecution and judge were thinking or likely to do next. If you have a criminal law matter of any size or seriousness, Brian Gurwitz would be the first person you should call.

Committed to not just the case, but to me and my future!

Brian was hired by my parents to assist with a complicated case. He was available to them and to me at all times of day--especially in the beginning. Brian got me into the Mental Health Diversion Program and ensured I completed the program successfully, maintaining a clean record. Thanks to Mr. Gurwi...tz, I can continue in my professional life--which could not have happened had I been charged.

First time in need of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Earlier this year I found myself In need of a lawyer for the first time in my life due to an assault charge that was clearly self defense. I interviewed 3 different lawyers and from the moment I met Brian I knew he was the one I wanted representing me. Brian was professional, attentive, readily avai...lable and compassionate during the process. The case took a few months to play out and eventually Brian prevailed, my case was withdrawn for lack of evidence with No charges filed! If you are reading this review I would definitely schedule a consult with Brian, you won't regret it.
