Exceptional Attorney and Law Firm

I selected Eisner and Gorin because of their outstanding credentials. Top-tier attorneys have a lot of clients and cases they handle. But from the very beginning, I never felt like I was just another case. This is true of my experience with the entire law firm, but especially with Dmitry Gorin. He a...lways took the time to make sure I was alright. He seem to know that every day I was going to have new questions, and he never failed to make me feel like each one of them was not important to him. After every conversation, I felt more confident he understood exactly how do I approach my case, and that he had a plan to ensure success. I am very happy with the outcome of my case. I am very thankful to have been represented by Eisner and Gorin. They made a very positive difference in my life.

Dmitry helped me put my life back on track

Eiisner and Gorin helped me put my life back on track. I was looking at a felony charge and jail time, which on my first arraignment he had reduced to a misdemeanor. I never saw the inside of a jail cell. He got me into a DEJ program that once complete, The entire case was dismissed. I could not ha...ve asked for a better result for a mistake I wish never happened. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone facing criminal charges. Dmitry was caring and approachable from the first consultation and always willing to talk to me throughout the entire legal process. If you are ever in trouble, Dmitry is the guy you want on speed dial. Thanks again Dmitry.

True Lifesaver

I can't say enough good things about Dmitry Gorin and his law firm. From Noreen, the office manager, To Meryl Chambers, and associate attorney. I was treated with the utmost respect and the issues of my son's arrest were addressed as if I were their only client. I received their undivided attention... during my free consultation which took some considerable time. I felt so confident with Dmitry and his team I hired them that day. They were always available to answer my questions and concerns and was on top of my sons case as if it was there most important client. I never felt uninformed or unimportant through the entire process. My son was very fortunate that his case did not go beyond arraignment, but if he had gone to trial I'm confident that Dmitry and his team would have gotten him the best possible results. It's very scary having a loved one charged with a felony, but if you should find yourself needing a criminal attorney you cannot find better representation than Eisner and Gorin.

Dmitry was successful in my case with an intervention before charges were filed

I had a situation develop with an unstable and seemingly vindictive individual who falsely accused me of a crime. I contacted a few attorneys before coming across Dmitry and his team. You will discover quickly that in our criminal justice system, not much evidence as needed for someone to file a co...mplaint against you. Many criminal attorneys will make a large cash grab before they will help you. They overpromise and under deliver. Dmitry did not go that route. He was polite, engaging, calming and realistic. His price was fair and he moved very fast on my case. He was successful in my case with an intervention before any criminal charges were filed. The prosecutor never even heard my name. I'm still freaked out by the experience and can sympathize with all those put in jail under false pretenses. Thank God for Dmitry. I'm very happy with the results of my case and would highly recommend Dmitry and his legal team.

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.
