In one of the most stressful times in a person's life it is imperative that you have attorneys that you can trust and always work for your best interest and that is Elliot and Ari Gourvitz. They made sure I knew every aspect of what to expect and how to navigate a very complicated process. It has been over 10 years since my divorce and I can still pick up the phone and speak to Ari and know that I will receive the same forthright advice that I became accustomed to during the actual proceedings. If you have to go through the process go through it with Gourvitz & Gourvitz.
Ari was very understanding, caring and accessible in times of need and consulting of my divorce. I am very pleased with the work he was able to do for me.
After burning through 5 lawyers in two countries and three states I finally found Ari and Elliot Gourvitz. Guys, if you think you’re going to get divorced and that’s the end of it, think again. Ari and Elliot have stuck by me through thick and thin for over 15 years. I can’t imagine working with anyone else. I give both of them my heartiest recommendation.
I am very grateful to Mr Gourvitz for giving me back my Freedom. The day at our first meeting Mr Gourvitz advised me of possible outcome of my minor child relocation case. Mr Gourvitz also explained to my ex husband this possible result but my stubborn ex decided to fight me on every aspect of our disagreement. So we ended up in court and trial and the process has taken 15 months. After those month though the outcome was exactly as Mr Gourvitz advised on the 1st day we met which demonstrates Mr Gourvitz knowledge and ability to evaluate the trial decisions. He was honest and tried to help me settle the matter out of court but again my ex did not want to hear anything. So after couple of days of remarkable performance Mr Gourvitz set me free from my ex control and I was allowed to relocate to Russia with my 2 year old daughter! How brilliant is that! I paid dear for my freedom but this was the best investment I made in my life! And I thank Mr Gourvitz for holding my hand and walking along with me through the entire time of this painful and disturbing divorce time.
Ari took over after I finally got totally fed up with my original lawyer and got things back on track and and then things were resolved within six months. Wish I had heard of him a year earlier.
I hired Ari on two separate occasions - the first for my divorce and the second for a child removal action several years later. Ari is terrific at returning phone calls and answering questions, but for me, his most important strengths are his tenacity and aggressiveness. I was highly pleased with his work.
I highly recommend this law firm. They are on the ball. Mr. Gourvitz's actions proved that he just won't take "NO" for an answer. This firm acted swiftly to every detail, every motion, involving on my case. Mr Gourvitz knows how to get to the nitty-gritty without all the nonsense. In the end, I got a positive settlement on a case that no other attorney wanted to touch.
As a father trying to gain shared parental custody you automatically feel like the cards are stacked up against you. Ari and the staff at Gourvitz & Gourvitz made me feel like I had a chance. I didn't want to be a weekend dad. Ari listened to my case and fought for my rights against false claims and misrepresentations. I thank Ari for a great job as I was granted temporary residential custody of my son after a 3 year long hard fought battle.
I have used the Gourvitz team for the Chancery Court for my personal divorce and I have used them in Superior Court for business related litigation. Both times they aggressively represented my interests and I was happy with their representation of my goals.
