Recommended!

We had no experience with criminal proceedings until a family member was arrested and charged. Max helped guide us through the criminal case process, counseled us to be patient and gather necessary mitigating information, successfully negotiated a reduced charge, and after informal probation, ensure...d expungement of the criminal record. We are so grateful for his reassuring style during this stressful time, and skill in working with the OC District Attorneys and other Court offices.

Client

Max Gorby was my worldly “Guardian Angel”! February 2022, I was arrested and jailed. After release, I felt helpless, hopeless and uncertain. Someone suggested I phone Mr. Max Gorby, he quickly responded with an appointment the very next day. I found him to be very cordial and personable. He had str...ong listening skills while knowledgeably gathering every fact and resource for an effective presentation. Informatively, he walked me through the legal process telling me what to expect and my potential for a successful outcome. He requested I provide him with further documentations and time-was-of-the-essence. He wanted to present my case to the prosecutor within three days. As a highly-regarded, persevering and motivated lawyer, Max seems to have important relationships and a network of connections with Prosecutors and Judges. Throughout this entire ordeal, I was marginally functional and devastated. The worst was waiting for a court date four months out. I was consumed for a closure. During my extraordinarily anxious times, Max validated my feelings, reiterating everything will be alright. A gentleman of principles and integrity, his every statement came true. Leaving no stone unturned, his expertise resulted in my arrest being completely dismissed AND weeks before the court date. Max was, indeed, my godsend! I recommend him highly!!!

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.

The man

I contacted max originally on through a business partner on my case. Max made me no promises but kept me confident in what his plan was and stuck to that plan and confidently got my case fully dismissed! I never doubted it happening due to how comfortable he stayed and through the entire process . La...st important part is I told him I was willing to take a infraction on the case and make it go away. He advised me this wasn’t a good idea and as I said made the whole case go away! Thank you MAX GORBY! Won’t hire another lawyer ever while in California .

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!
