Amazing

I was very worried that I would be charged with a felony or something along those lines when my ex girl friend claimed to the police I beat her up. This was happening during a time in my life when I was finally starting to do well at work and I was happy with my success. Brian called the D.A. one or ...two days after retaining him as my lawyer and they dropped the case altogether. 10/10 would recommend Brian to anyone struggling with a case, definitely worth every dollar I payed and in fact I thought his fee was a bit cheaper than most as well.

The BEST OC Criminal Defense Attorney

I was lucky to have found this awesome attorney. I was arrested for a petty probation violation and as you know OC POs are the biggest abusers of power in CA. Brian, coordinate all to get me out within a week when I was probably looking 90-days in pig style OC county jail. Thereafter he helped me... do an Intercounty transfer from OC to LA which was riddled with legal traps setup by your friendly neighborhood cheesy OC probation gang --boy they are crooks, manipulators, etc and my attorney BRIAN kept them honest and playing by the rules. Brian is worth every dollar for work and peace of mind he provides. he took all my calls/texts no matter how silly or complicated the questions were-- Great Job Brian!!

Top Tier Attorney

I am a client of Brian Gurwitz. We were facing charges of attempted murder. The DA sought a life term. When our options turned bleak, our (very good) attorney recommended that we transition away from her representation to Brian Gurwitz's. We needed a specialist. Brian's fee was surprisingly reasonab...le. He jumped in with both feet, immediately familiarized himself with the complexities and took action. In short order Brian negotiated a plea arrangement that took attempted murder off the table in exchange for a greatly reduced charge. Life in prison was reduced to time served and probation. Brian was ALWAYS available. He returned calls promptly. He patiently answered all our questions. Brian called us when relevant events occurred. He was great. Brian is the guy I want with me in a fox hole. Fair, reasonable, smart, hardworking, and a committed fiduciary. I highly recommend Brian Gurwitz for anybody facing serious criminal charges.

Sooo Disappointed

I wasn’t provided anything. No answers, no direction and no discovery. I was provided a bill after 2 court appearances for another $7000 for the attorney to keep showing up even though I had no idea what was happening. He doesn’t care.

I respectfully disagree with this review. All discovery was provided to the client via email, copies of which I still have. And a hard copy was left at the front desk for her to pick up. The client was never asked for any money beyond the flat fee she agreed to pay on the date she chose to retain me. A friend of Hye's had agreed to pay her fee, but was ultimately unable or unwilling to do so. The burden then fell on the client to pay the bill in order for me to remain on the case. When she could not do so after approximately two months, I did everything possible to ensure that a court-appointed attorney had all information necessary to effectively represent her.

My Legal Pit-Bull

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!
