WHEN EXPERIENCE, SKILLS AND ETHICAL CONDUCT MATTER

When my son was accused of a crime he did not commit, our family was devastated and sent on an excruciatingly painful, emotional roller coaster. Our complete inexperience on similar matters landed us with unscrupulous attorneys who after 7 months of giving us the run around with callous indifference... and taking our money did literally NOTHING. I was disheartened, exhausted and convinced that “ethical attorney” was an oxymoron. But then I met Brian Gurwitz. From the very first meeting with him and his associate attorney I knew my son’s case would be in good, highly competent, ethical hands. He immediately immersed himself in the case; we were not just a client, we were human beings who had put their trust in him, a trust he honored thru the entire case. He was fully invested, determined, focused and comfortingly confident without making any promises. He was amazingly diligent and left no stone unturned in his search for the facts, uncovering the alleged victim’s less than unblemished background and highly questionable credibility. His associate attorney and his investigator were equally diligent in their research for the facts and their commitment to get justice for my son. At trial he was drama-free, professional, forceful, fully prepared, organized, never missing a beat. In less than 3 hours the jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty. Only 13 weeks had passed since Brian had taken the case!! I wholeheartedly recommend Brian as an ethical, highly skilled, accessible attorney with a great sense of humor, who learns his cases from A-Z and who never loses sight of the fact that his client is a human being . Brian and his team will always be a very important part of our lives.

Perfect, Compasionate Attorney at Law

I had the pleasure of meeting Brian Gurwitz back in 2011 while being detained. At that time i had all loss of hope. Brian visited me in Jail to get a full understanding of what had happened upon my arrest. After reviewing my case he was very informative of what my options would be. with my court dat...e just three weeks away a friend of mine had posted my bail. Being the person I once was at that time, I was arrested again and caught a whole new case to add to the one i was on bail for. Now i was in deep. Awaiting to see the judge I was asked if I had a attorney working my new case. I told them that Brian Gurwitz was working on another case and asked them to please contact him. By the end of the day Brian arrived and assured not to worry. By my surprise Brian took on my new case at no charge. With my two cases, I was facing up to five years in prison. Brian informed me of Delancey Street as being another option, a two year Behavior Modification Program. So I submitted a letter to Delancey Street and awaited an interview. After two weeks, I was interviewed and accepted. Thanks to Brian's success as a great attorney and respectful attitude with the law he was able to convince the judges that Delancey Street would work for me. I was granted the opportunity to try something new and change my life around. When think that was good enough, to add, he picked me up from jail, took me to dinner, and drove me to Delancey Street. During our dinner meeting, Brian gave me his word that if I complete and graduate from Delancey Street, he would take all my cases to the courts and have my record sealed, and let me tell you, Brian Gurwitz is a man of his word!

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.

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!

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!
