OMG my son could get life in Prison!

If you are on this site looking for a defense lawyer, you can get stopnow and call Brian so that he can get started on what needs to be done. I believe that I waited too long, hoping that the public defender assigned would do their job. That was a huge mistake. After several months of agony, no co...mmunication on the part of the appointed public defender, and the frustration I knew my son was suffering in the justice system--- that too many endure--- finally a miracle happened and Brian Gurwitz took over my son's defense. After I was 100% convinced that my son would be going to prison for 45 years to life, not because of guilt or innocence, but because once a person is in the system, without powerful legal representation---you know the rest---the insanity sets in.. My belief is the system of justice in orange county is that it forces defendants into making the best plea because the exposure is stacked too high and the gamble is too great to risk. You have to have the best legal negotiator on your side. Brian Gurwitz is the best. My son was represented by a warrior. He was able to achieve the best possible results for my son. Yes, a plea was reached but it was what we would call a "reasonable plea" and gives my son the chance for a futre. Without Brian Gurwitz this would not have happened. My gratitude to Brian is eternal and shared by my son and every member of our family. I read all the other reviews before I began this one, so I won't use this space, or your time, to repeat what they all say. Every word written by the others is heartfelt and sincere. However, what is now your darkest hour, Brian Gurwitz can bring in the light. You can trust him. You can trust him because he is a man of Honor. My name is Bonnie and I hope this helps you in your search. I

Brian Gurwitz

Knowledgable, helpful, personable, and most importantly available whenever I had questions or concerns. Brian really took personal interest in my personal history, me as an individual, and my personality, rather than just the details of my case. I was charged with DUI while driving 98mph and faced ...2 months in jail due to the speed enhancement. Thanks to Brian I'm doing a week of Cal Trans work and going to self-help meetings instead of serving any jail time. DUI's are stressful and there's a lot you need to do to get past them smoothly. Brian was always available to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. His personal interest laid not just with getting a good result out of the case, but with making sure I am headed in the right direction in all areas of life: work, family, relationships, stress, financial, etc. I would recommend Brian in an instant and have utmost confidence that if I ever have legal trouble again, I have the right person on my side.

A lawyer with character and values

I was terrified after being arrested and felt very alone. Brian came highly recommended by another lawyer in my family and I couldn't have been more pleased by what he has done for me. He spent 3 hours with me in our first meeting before I had decided to retain his services. After our meeting, I knew... I had found someone who cared about me and what I was going through. I had been charged with a felony and didn't know what was going to happen to me. I was afraid that my personal and professional life were ruined. Thankfully Brian recommended going to court sooner to help me with my anxiety.While in court, I witnessed Brian's expertise in working with the DA and the judge. I knew immediately that I had the right guy representing me and I felt proud to have him there for me. In short order I was able to avoid being arraigned and made a deal with the court to have the charges against me dropped. The load I was carrying was lifted. I had received news from my doctor while at the court that I had a serious medical crisis to face and Brian was there to support me through that also. I can't say enough praise for this man. I hold him in high respect. My son is unfortunately facing his own troubles right now and Brian is the first person I thought to call. He is providing the same level of care and representation for him and I am confident that he will have a positive outcome. If you're in trouble, you want Brian to help you get through it.
