I came to Mr. Lurie because someone defrauded me for an investment of $500,000. Barak was able to negotiate a quick settlement with a wonderful result. Not only did I get my money back but he really gave me the assurances that I needed through out the process. He was even able to recover back interest and a big chunk of our attorney fees! Barak is a responsive and intelligent business attorney and I highly recommend him.

I have known Barak Lurie for 18 years and he has been my personal attorney for 15 years. The cases he has handled for me have been complex and required execptional strategic vision. In each instance, I was very pleased with the outcome and with the attorney/client relationship. I have always found Barak Lurie's fees to be reasonable for the work performed, and in every instance fully disclosed. I recomend Barak to any of my freinds who might need an experienced business attorney.

Barak Lurie and his staff are extremely nice and friendly, however kindness doesn't win cases. I worked with Lurie & Park Law firm for over 2 years on a simple case. They lacked knowledge about things that I had no clue about as a client. I was asked to pay more and more since we were "almost at the end", however the case took me deep into debt. A lot of jargon and technical verbiage but no results. They actually dropped the ball and it ended up costing me $100,000+ in legal fees (to their firm) and $150,000+ in other losses which I would have probably not lost had I used a layer which was more competent. I was highly disappointed by their actual performance. My advice is not to find someone who knows their material and is performance oriented, not just a schmoozer.

Mr. Gold is a competent and capable attorney. He has a unique approach that makes sense and works well for DUI defense. He cared about my case the same way I cared about it. It was very important to me to not get a DUI conviction. Mr. Gold made it happen. He worked very hard and saved my reputation by reducing my offence to a wet reckless. He was very thorough, caring and reliable from the beginning. He called me every week on schedule to give me an update on my case which took a while to go to court due to the court busy schedule. He told me what to do and what not to do. Mr. Gold was with me like a loyal and caring friend throughout this painful process. He did lot more than providing legal defense. I was lucky to have him as my attorney. He had me work hard for the case and it all paid off at the end. I am relived at last thanks to Mr. Gold. His assistance Mandi was also as helpful and responsive and made everything easier for me. I highly recommend his counsel and I am truly grateful for what he did for me.

I know why I initiated my lawsuit, and what I expected from legal action. My initial plan with my first attorney just wasn't working, and I felt like I just didn't have the defendants’ attention. That's when I decided to switch to a more aggressive posture. Once Barak Lurie decided to accept my case, he was in it to win it. His team went right to work for me and kept me informed along the way, asking for my agreement, opinions or guidance with his recommended actions or responses. That boost of confidence helped me focus on my responsibilities so I wasn’t emotionally burdened while maintaining my daily life. I usually deferred to his recommendation, but at least I knew what my options were and also, what the risks were. This knowledge kept me sane during the quiet times while waiting on responses from the opposing parties. It also helped me sleep well at night, without the stress of freaking out because I wasn't sure of the probabilities of the outcome. Keeping a normal lifestyle during a lawsuit helped me focus on the big picture, and why I was involved in this lawsuit in the first place. Of course we won our case, but the job wasn’t done yet. Collecting is another matter, and this is when the real fun kicked in. There’s just something about listening to Lurie plead the defendants case options, and then shred them by citing strategies and anticipations, along with legal rules governing the defense’s actions and motions. I wanted a Bulldog approach after first seeing the defendants wiggle and stall to buy time and drag out the case. Lurie and his team got me that and more. I couldn’t be more proud than to be part of case law now, based upon legal arguments put before the court. That’s very powerful when the court agrees with you and sets precedent after the defendants try anything they can to cloud the issues. When you’re in the wrong, those arguments just don’t hold water. I count on Lurie to expose those faulty arguments and drain the swamp.

My client had a piece of machinery that was wrought with defects. The manufacturer insisted that my client was at fault and didn't perform the proper maintenance.By astutely recognizing the issues and incorporating expert testimony, Lurie induced the manufacturer to pay a substantial amount for lost profits and even removed the equipment. It was a great outcome to a difficult situation. I have already recommended him to others.
