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 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!!!

Life Changing Lawyer who Restored Faith back into My Life!!

Brian Gurwitz is the best Attorney at Law, No Questions Asked!! Not only did he go Above and Beyond to help me out, but he would take time of his Off hours to sit down and talk to me. I had never needed a Lawyer before and given my case, i was really scared and didnt really know what to do. From the ...first day that I met with Brian, he spent a great deal of time explaining how the legal process was going to work and explaining the details of my case. Brian wasted no time taking action and at the end of my case...He was able to get me off without any problems and really made me feel Confident again. They say, Theres a light at the end of the Tunnel...and to Me, Brian was that Light. Thanks to him i am now able to move on with my life, most importantly, Feeling Free. Believe me, You will not be disappointed in Brian!!! If you need a Lawyer...Hes a Must!! Thank For Everything Brian!!

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!
