Max is THE MAN - Look No Further!

Max is a phenomenal attorney! He is extremely professional, brilliant, kind and fights for you. He helped make a very difficult situation calm, easier and results-focused. He has a plethora of knowledge to help win your case. I am incredibly grateful to have had Max by my side through the arduous leg...al process - twice!!! Each time, he won my battle. Stop searching for an attorney. Max is the man you need.

Great Help from a great man! Case dismissed! Fantastic Job!

Max is a great attorney; a person who saved me from a big problem! I was arrested for domestic violence and child endangerment. A false accusation! I love my child! No one could even believe that the case could be closed. A bad report was written in my case. Max perfectly handled the case. He was ab...le to dismiss the case without me even going to the court. He is a fantastic person! a family man who takes care of you and your family. A lawyer that listens to you; always available for you; agile and knowledgeable. A down to earth person; very friendly... I owe him a lot! Anytime in my life; any law issues; he will be the first person to contact! I highly recommend him to all of you. MAX; I greatly appreciate your kind help! God bless you and your family!

Gratitude * Appreciation * Gratefulness

At the height of my career I earned my second DUI back to back. Jay and Jon at Bail Bonds Direct were extremely helpful and referred me to Max Gorby for these unique circumstances, as I was being charged with two felony counts of DUI and accident with injury. An overwhelmingly long process for one ...to endure patiently by any means. Max had the motivation, drive, tenacity, and kindness to whether through this long storm of damage I had created in my life. With Max's expertise with multiple DUI's has been able to have these charges reduced to a misdemeanor DUI only without an accident with injury being charged and placed on my record at all. Max's demeanor and character is of extreme honesty, integrity, and patients. I will always be completely appreciative of all his hard work and dedication to my situation and the outcome achieved. Thank you!

Charges Dropped

I was out to dinner with my children and other family members. After dinner, I drove home with the children and I was pulled over. Against good judgement, I had some drink and felt fine. Unfortunately, I was arrested for a DUI. Unbeknownst to me, having the children in the car also led to felony c...hild endangerment charges. After two hours I blew a .08 and spent the night in county jail. I called Max and made an appointment to meet the following week. He helped to not only dismiss the child endangerment charges but also to reduce my DUI to a Wet and Reckless. This was a surreal experience for myself and my family and having Max available to answer any questions and guide us through this experience meant a lot. He mentioned that this was going to take time and was a long process. Afraid of the unknown, my wife and I wanted this over ASAP. Max told us to be patient and he was exactly right. Everything went as Max had planned. He was cool and calm and at the end everything worked out for the best. I would recommend Max to anyone in need of a good lawyer.
