ACT OF KINDNESS GONE WRONG

in mid 2013 I was illegally parked in a handicap parking spot. I was helping an older man get out of my car, so that he could be closer to the main entrance to the store. Then, all of sudden a police car pulls up and not only denies my explanation, but he decides to write me ticket which is to be ...considered a misdemeanor !... A total act of kindness on my part trying to help an older man get out my car closer to the door and it had gone wrong !.... that's when I contacted Mr. Gorin and he represented me in front of the judge and made it all go away with only paying a ticket.... The district attorney on my case wanted to press charges for a handicap illegal parking ! but Mr. Gorin explain his case and made the court understand what happened had been an honest mistake.....Mr. Gorin has tremendous control in the court room and has tremendous credibility with judges as he was an ex-district attorney himself. Thank you Mr. Gorin for giving my family and me peace of mind again ! That day, I also had a chance to witness Mr. Gorin on another criminal case and he was amazing ! this man is worth GOLD !

Best Criminal Attorney in Los Angeles

Dmitry Gorin is a true expert! A skilled professional who always keeps his clients informed. Always prompt and his expertise is really unmatched. I have personally referred clients to him because of what he personally brings to the table. You must meet with him and see him in court to understand what... I mean.

Got two felony counts dropped without going to trial

Dmitry Gorin got two felony counts taken off without a trial and saved my family and I from a lot of expense and pain. Mr. Gorin is the best criminal defense attorney out there! His experience of being a Sr. District attorney for 12 years and a professor at our top universities shined during my repr...esentation. I have four kids and have always been a law abiding citizen with absolutely no prior. My minor was involved in a situation at a sports game with an adult whilst another adult jumped in to attack my minor. My only role was to pull the adult off to protect my minor. The other party had a lot of contacts in the police department and while we continued with our lives, two months later we were arrested. My minor and I were charged with 2 felony counts each. How can two people commit the same exact crime? It was very scary since I have absolutely no prior. My child is a 4.0 student heavily involved in school. The arresting officers thermselves were shocked when they came to arrest us. The counts didn't even make sense to them and they said, “wow, there is something fishy in this report.... We were not expecting to arrest someone like you two with these kind of charges.... I hope you have a good attorney." While I was waiting for my bail to come through my spouse hired an attorney. The first had no compassion, bad behavior and looked like a criminal himself. I knew I would just be a number to him so i told him to go home and we lost the money. By the evening the second one showed up and was sensitive, but not very energetic nor knowledgeable and against my better judgement i used him since my spouse had made a payment to him as well. Spouse was in a panick mode. This guy did the bare minimal. I could have done it myself. I knew something was seriously wrong and this should not be taken lightly. Therefore, as soon as i got home I asked a group of our higher caliber friends that worked in the law field for a list of the top criminal attorneys in the valley that they personally knew. Three out of the five had Mr. Gorin’s name on their list whilst one had his associates name. At this point my work was done. There was no need to look any further. I made an appointment directly with Dmitry Gorin. There was such a difference in the judge’s attitude towards me when I stood next to Mr. Gorin when i went for my arraignment. I knew then I was going to be okay because I was being represented by a well reputable and respected attorney. I also know now that if I had hired Mr. Gorin to begin with I wouldn’t have had to spend a night in jail nor have such a high bail. Dmitry Gorin was always well informed, knowledgeable, very sharp and confident in the court room, but very calm and sympathetic with me which in turn kept me calm at all times. He was so tactful that as soon as he got to question the “so called victim” he managed to get all the lies out. After that it was just a domino effect where he proved that this was an unjust action upon me. He proved that the the D.A. and the detective hadn't done any homework on this case nor did they bother to even question me, my child or anybody on our side. We were just another case. Both felony counts were dropped against me without a trial. During the whole time Mr. Gorin and his office were very patient, understanding, and compassionate towards my family and I. We were looked after very well. I got prompt responses. I was kept well informed, and I never felt like I was just another case or number. Thanks Dmitry

Terrible experience

I called and spoke with a paralegal named Peter in order to hire Attorney Dmitri Gorin for a simple appeal case. Gorin was referred to me by another lawyer. I answered all of the firm's questions over a 15-minute phone conversation all provided all the details requested. I also made sure to ask all t...he relevant questions to ensure they could help me, to which Peter assured me they could. I signed the emailed agreement with retainer and was excited to move forward. Only to be refused legal services for no reason. This has been a horrific experience that I will continue to fight.

He's all about your money

I called to get a free consultation like he advertised for himself but I find that it's faults advertising in order to see him you have to pay a fee of $1500 just to discuss your case I find it unprofessional and ridiculous when every other lawyers in the same level even higher they do free cons...ultation , I didn't feel that he care about my kids as much he cares about the money I wouldn't recommend it
