Fixed everything - best possible result

I live out of state and needed a lawyer to resolve a legal problem dating back several years. Due to my previous attorneys and competent, I had a bench warrant and was facing redoing hundreds of hours of community service and possibly some jail time. With a quick call, Dmitry Gorin looked at my case and identified the main issue and suggested a plan. I liked how he was very professional and knew his field of business, so I hired him. Within two weeks, they appeared in court and fixed everything which was literally the best possible result. Years of aggravation was suddenly lifted. He did his job very well. Thank you Dmitry.

Professional and Trustworthy

Dmitry was very professional and helpful with my case. I found it refreshing he knew the intimate details about my case even when I called without an appointment. I liked how he personally kept me updated about the status of my case. I was glad that I worked with such an energized and caring attorney.

Excellent Team, Highly Recommend

Never did I think that I would find myself in a situation of needing a criminal defense lawyer. After being wrongfully accused of something and finding myself under investigation by the police department, I am glad I hired Dmitry Gorin and his firm to help me get through this. I could not recommend him enough and from the first day I contacted him, I could tell that despite being very busy with other cases and clients, he was giving me his full attention. I am happy to report that the case was dropped. Hopefully you do not find yourself in need of criminal defense, but if you do - go with the best! It was well worth the investment for me and I got the best possible outcome as a result.

Very quick, clear and experienced

We hired Dmitry Gorin immediately after the incident the next day. Dmitry and his team got on call with us and gave full instructions on the procedure and next steps. They helped me drop my charges even before going to court which we had no knowledge was even possible. Thanks to the direction and preparation my charges were dropped and didn't have to see the court. Very happy with the service and definitely recommend going with Dmitry.

Highly recommend

After consulting with several attorneys, we hired Dmitry and his team to take care of my son’s false charge. We were impressed by Dmitry’s professionalism, responsiveness, and excellent teamwork at the firm. They provided pre-filing intervention to the DA office. My son’s charge was rejected before being filed. We appreciated everyone on his team: Dmitry, Alan, Robert, and Carrie. It was a massive relief for my family.

Amazing lawyer, don't waste your money or time with anyone else

I had very serious charges filed against me and I did not know what to do. Having no experience w criminal court preceding, these lawyers walked me through every step clearly and helped me to understand the situation without any unnecessary issues, clear cut and dry. They got the entire case dismissed before charges were even filed. 10/10 recommend.

Swift, Ethical and relational

When your not from the area, but need to ensure your legal matters are addressed swiftly in good conscience in a coherent manner, it’s always nice to know there are firms and lawyers who will take on even the little legal things we face. I received a call immediately after contacting the office staff who were all great and Dmitry kept me informed until a successful closure. Highly recommended

Dmitry #1

Needed a petition filed to with the Court. Very complicated and he did it right first. Even with DA trying to throw a wrench in the issue. Right first time! Problem solved! Thanks

Skilled, compassionate, effective.

I needed to submit an important petition to the court. While looking over the required forms and instructions, it quickly became clear to me that this process was complicated and beyond my skill-set. After considering several law firms, I decided on Eisner-Gorin because their ratings and credentials are truly impressive. Their client reviews are filled with sincere praise and gratitude. After a brief meeting at their Van Nuys offices, the team immediately started work on my petition which they submitted to the court within a few days. They also filed additional paperwork with the appropriate agencies. From there, it took a few months for the petition to work its way through the system but the outcome was worth the wait. The court granted my petition. I sent the following message to everyone on the team’s email list: “I am profoundly grateful to you and everyone on your team. Resolution of this issue has lifted an inexpressibly heavy weight from my shoulders. Thank you.” Everyone on the Eisner/Gorin team was always accessible, highly efficient, compassionate and professional. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation.

They care -- this team knows their stuff, and they actually do care about clients. They're honest, trustworthy, and they listen. Sometimes we get stuck in bad situations, this is a group of people who can help you out.

Fantastic attorney who delivers results

Dmitry Gorin and his team are who everyone would want on their side in a difficult situation. Professional, responsive and strategic, they deliver results. Highly recommend!

Couldn't have been in better hands

Dmitry and his team were great. They kept on top of my case every step of the way. If it weren't for them I would probably be in jail as a felon. Not only did they offer me great advise, but they fought hard for me and had my charges reduced. After finishing my probation, Dmitry was able to get my case expunged and I have been able to go on with life and not have to worry about being turned down for jobs because of my background check. I am so grateful for everything Dmitry has done for me. I hope to never need legal counsel again, but if I do, I will definitely be calling Dmitry.

Reliable

Was referred to this legal team through my employer after being the victim of some pretty outlandish accusations by a patient of mine. Eisner Gorin were able to handle it with the detective before it became a case, which was a huge relief to myself and my family.

Posted by anonymous | May 3, 2021

The best attorney to call for criminal offenses.

I was referred to Dmitry by an attorney friend and I was very glad that he took on my son's case for a criminal charge. Dmitry was very professional, thorough and attentive to my son's case and put together a very well crafted defense position that resulted with the DA rejected the case and file no charges against him. I would highly recommended Dmitry to anyone that need a criminal defense attorney. It would be the best thing you can do for your case.
