They helped me in the past

They helped me in the past, which is why I reached out to them again for a second time. They consistently kept me informed throughout the process and were very professional and attentive to my needs. They were exactly the support I was looking for.

The Gorski Firm handled my situation with professionalism and sensitivity. They continue to guide me from start to end. They continue to check from time to check if I am okay and would give great advice. I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic work

Working with The Gorski Firm is a pleasure. Knowledgeable about the process and a great communicator. They turned what could have been a daunting process into a smooth one. It was the right choice that I have asked them for help.

Great Experience

I had a great experience with this law office. Our divorce was finalized, and everything went fairly well in our favor. Thank you, The Gorski Firm, for helping us.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Gorski is professional, direct, and extremely sharp - all qualities of an outstanding attorney. He has demonstrated an acumen in bankruptcy matters, supported by his appointment as chapter 7 trustee for matters in the Eastern District of California. In my time working and dealing with Mr. Gorski, I have always been impressed with him."

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Nov 20

Relationship: Co-worker

"I highly recommend Vince Gorski as an experienced, highly personable, aggressive and ethical attorney. Having worked with Vince for several years in a predominately bankruptcy practice (which has been my area of focus for 30 years) I observed his handling of numerous types of cases involving representation of debtors and creditors in Chapter 11s, 13s and 7s, in addition to working with him as co-counsel on such matters. He displayed a level of knowledge, diligence and maturity well beyond the level of most attorneys his age, and was invariably someone that I and our clients could count on. If you need assistance in bankruptcy, commercial, or general corporate, talk with him before you make a decison!"

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.
