Thank God we called Max Gorby

My husband and I were in Cal on vacation. We ended up drinking a little too much and got into a fight and I called the police. He went to jail on a domestic violence charge. Due to the fact that he had 2 felony charges from a long time ago they wanted to charge him with a third strike. I called M...ax Gorby late Friday evening. He took my call and scheduled an appointment on Saturday. His co-attorney Nicole met me there promptly at 2:00 and Max arrived shortly there after. They explained everything to me and told me they were going to try to get the charges dropped. Monday was a holiday so we went to court on Tuesday morning. Needless to say I was very nervous and anytime I called or texted Mr. Gorby he responded right away. He also drove from Santa Monica to Orange to visit my husband on Sunday afternoon!!!! On Tuesday morning he went into the DA's office and within 2 hours the charges had been dropped. I would recommend this attorney to anyone. He is fast, smart and knows exactly what needs to be done to ensure a positive outcome. I am so happy I called him and my husband and I are able to move forward. If you need a smart and effective attorney definitely call him. Our charge was in Orange but Mr. Gorby had no problem coming there to help us. Thank you again Max and Nicole.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
