It is not without trepidation that my wife and I entered his office. We had delayed this moment for years - but now found the courage and sense to create our will and irrevocable trust. We had begun the process several times but had not completed it, in part because of a certain lack of sympatico with our attorneys, as well as our tendency to put off the uncomfortable. Erach Screwvala immediately, somehow, put our minds at ease as he carefully explained the pros and cons of various approaches, meticulously noted our questions, and crafted understandable responses. In our meetings hours went by but we were not rushed. Every document was personalized in a caring friendly manner, allowing us to address our personal complex family dynamics and issues. His wisdom and experience aided us to confront and satisfy our real concerns and needs, often with a dash of humor to lighten the moment. Ultimately I believe we are in exceedingly capable hands. We are well served by Erach; you will be as well. retired rabbi and teacher respectively.

Erach worked with our company drafting distribution agreements for our independent films. He was fast, responsive and fair. He treated us as a high priority client with complete integrity. With an easy manner and speaking in language we could understand he swiftly guided us through an unfamiliar process all on our timetable.. and all at a fair price. I would highly recommend him and his firm and look forward to the chance to work with him again.

Our company has worked with Erach for almost 15 years -- in fact, I think we may have been one of his first clients. Over the years he has helped us negotiate contracts, establish business entities, and work through legal considerations related to how we conduct our business. His counsel has been invaluable and his integrity is beyond question. He is extremely bright, insightful, and absolutely, positively tireless in advocating for his clients in any circumstance where he has the opportunity. I was Googling him so I could send his link to a friend who may be looking for an entertainment lawyer and noticed this opportunity to review him so I jumped on.

I hired Erach recently to work with me on a difficult landlord/tenant case. He was professional and extremely helpful throughout the whole process, which to date has spanned 6 months. He helped me understand the various motions that were filed, pointed out key flaws and weaknesses in the other side's case, successfully steered me through a court hearing, and continues to work on my behalf. He is knowledgeable, thorough and very easy to work with. I will be recommending him to anyone I know who needs a lawyer in the future.

I'm a literary translator who deals with publishers in an ongoing way. Erach reviews my contracts, negotiates with the publishers to add or delete provisions, and makes sure that as much as possible in the agreement works to my benefit. This is a mine field I could not walk successfully without him. I am grateful for his expertise, his intelligence, and his honesty
