Brian was terrific when out son was arrested. He was patient, sympathetic and creative in dealing with an unusual situation. He was always willing to take the next step in helping, and he used his knowledge of the system and his relationship with other attorneys to achieve a positive outcome. We w...ere especially impressed that he was always available to answer our many questions about the process, and to inform us about the possible outcomes. I cannot recommend Brian highly enough!!

I hired Brian after finding myself in a position I never thought I would be in. I was charged with criminal battery. He was upfront and honest about all the possible outcomes of my case. I met with him multiple times throughout my case and each time he was extremely knowledgeable with how to p...roperly and effectively defend me. He made himself available and contacting him was never an issue. With my career and livelihood on the line, Brian was not only professional, but he was also sympathetic and compassionate towards me and my case. Brian was able to negotiate a civil agreement which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. Thanks to Brian I avoided diversion programs, fines, a criminal record, and jail time. I was very happy with this result and his efforts along the way. I also never had to appear in court which was a huge relief. I could not have asked for a better outcome of my case and I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

I have been using Mr. Gurwitz since 2013 when i was arrested illegally at my home and arrested with for over 5 charges including felony possession of a concealed firearm. Luckily Mr. Gurwitz took the time to hear my case and had my back and got all the charges dropped! Since then he has been my lawy...er on a few more cases unfortunately haha but on the last one he saved me over 6K and i wasn't sentenced any jail time when i should been . Hopefully i won't need to hire him personally anytime soon but if i do need a lawyer, ill be using Mr. Gurwitz without a doubt!

Brian Gurwitz was effective, honest & extremely personable. I was at one of the lowest points of my life, after receiving a DUI due to attempting suicide on overdose on Xanax, He suggested I go to detox and Rehab. I was freaked out, as I was a professional woman and had a LOT to lose. This turned out... to be pivotal for me...not only did it get me the most lenient charge for me, but more importantly, it turned my life around after a very difficult divorce. I am on a great path now and truly recommend Brian to others. He is trustworthy, honest, knows both sides of the system and will tell you exactly what you need to know. He is reality...without the show!!!

You only get one chance to get it right when you are in legal trouble. When you are in jail you are not earning a living, having quality time with your loved ones and your life is constantly in danger. This is not the time to scrimp on your attorney. The old saying you get what you pay for is neve...r more true than when hiring legal council. You cheap out on a haircut it will grow back, you hire a discount CPA and they might miss a deduction. You hire the wrong attorney and your life is OVER. Brian Gurwitz is the right attorney. He is in my qualified opinion the best lawyer in all of Orange County. He came highly recommended from a well know attorney in LA County. If you or someone you love is in legal trouble right now hire Brian. He treats you like a human being, not just some client that he is trying to run you through the system. He has been a prosecutor as well as a defense attorney, so he knows both sides of the law. Every one of my family and friends that spoke with him felt so very confident that he would put forth every effort to settle a very dangerous time in my life to the best possible outcome. They felt he was above and beyond your average attorney. They felt confident and reassured. They expected an even better outcome than I did. You just can't understand until it is your life on the line. None of your friends or family will quite understand how devastating facing a jail or prison sentence can be. Everyone tells you to think positive and all you can think of is the worse outcome. Let me tell you, you do not want to be in jail. It is an insane asylum in there. It is never quite, it is never dark, sleeping is near impossible, The food is terrible. Your cellmate might be mentally unstable or dangerous. To be locked inside a concrete box measuring 10 feet by 7 feet and sometimes you don't get your 1 hour of dayroom for 3 days. That means no showers. People threaten you and demand your food. Some of the deputies can be sadistic. It is degrading and inhumane. Sexual assaults are possible. Sometimes inmates will scream for hours at night and kick their cell doors. People go to the bathroom two feet away from where you sleep. Inmates bleed and you have no idea if they are HIV positive or have hepatis. Many inmates are on psych drugs. Brian Gurwitz was able to reduce my bail by 80%, that simply doesn't happen very often, there was a potential for 20 years in prison and I got no jail time and probation. That blew me away. That is what the best can do. I screwed up and it was my fault, but I got a second chance. And I will earn this second chance and never do anything wrong again. I get to be with my wife and go back to work and rebuild the damage I caused. I would not have this chance without Brian. America imprisons the highest percentage of it's population. 724 for each 100,000 people. Russia is second at 581 per 100,000. I have always been a pro police tough on crime type of thinker and believe me, some of the people I saw in jail, well you want them to stay there for your safety and your family's safety, but the system thrives on quantity. You have to have the best legal council you can get to avoid being swept away by the system. There were some dark days and I did not think I would make it, but I am grateful I did not act on any of my despair. Brian is a great guy and an even better attorney. I told him I wish I could have know him in different circumstances. He is a guy that you would like to have as a friend. I owe him my life, literally. He always took my call or called me right back, even at odd hours and weekends. You never know when they will allow you to use the phone. He was great with my family and I could not have asked for a better guy representing me. So hire Brian Gurwitz and when things get settled make sure you never end up in this type of situation again. Evaluate your life and make some big changes. Brian will do his best for you so earn it!!
