Alan Eisner and his legal team saved my life

Alan Eisner and his legal team saved my entire life and future thanks not only to his incredibly vast knowledge, but more importantly his passion to help his clients. I liked his dedication and commitment. I am forever grateful and could not trust anyone more.

All Charges Were Dropped!

Mr. Eisner is an expert in courtroom defense. His law firm handled a case for a member of our family where they were efficient in getting the DA’’s office to drop all the charges. I liked how they were always available to answer questions. My family and I highly recommend this law firm for their astu...te and comprehensive solution before any collateral damage.

Highly Recommend This Law Firm

I was arrested for the domestic violence and charged with a felony case because she had a bruised eye. I thought I was screwed because the situation looked horrible. After speaking with multiple lawyers, the law firm of Eisner Gorin sounded the most confident. I liked how anytime I had questions they... were always there to answer them. Alan and his legal team managed to get the charges dismissed! Highly recommend this law firm.

Navigated me through a mess

Alan knows the law and the courts. I liked his no nonsense help while navigating me through an awful mess that was no fault of my own. I would certainly use Eisner Gorin law firm again.

Hard working and dedicated lawyer

I just want to express my gratitude and say I am truly thankful and blessed for all the hard work of Alan Eisner and his legal team. I liked how they kept me and my family updated with any new details and most importantly, they never gave up on representing us. It’s been a long time coming, but I’m ...thankful it’s over and there is closure. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
