Trustworthy and Kind Attorney

Mr. Gorski is the most trustworthy and kind attorney I have ever worked with. This was my first experience creating a will and trust, and he caught many details that I overlooked. He completed everything quickly, just as I was preparing to leave for a trip out of the country, which I greatly apprecia...ted. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Divorce & Separation advice session

This site has been a God send throughout my entire self-represented divorce. The answers online are always accurate. When I got to the judgement process and needed actual advice from a lawyer I received a call within minutes of my request. It is possible to navigate this difficult process alone if yo...u have the great support that Avvo provides.

Incredible help and service

I would not have been able to get through this very difficult period of my life without the incredible service I have received from The Gorski Firm. The Gorski Firm was there with me every step of the way. When there was any update or change regarding my case, The Gorski Firm (Jacqueline Bahena) was ...right on top of it to keep me in the loop. I pray that I never have to go through this again, but I know if I it was unavoidable the first call I would make would be to The Gorski Firm. Thank you

Excellent

I found the Gorski Firm on this website. Mr. Gorksi took his time to explain everything in detail. His office staff were very helpful in every aspect. When I had any questions, they were always promptly answered in detail. I had an attorney prior to Mr. Gorski with no luck. I took my case to the ...law firm and everything was handled swiftly and with ease. I would recommend this law firm for anything you need from business to bankruptcy. I plan to use this law firm again in the near future.

Hire ANYONE else!!! It will cost more to fix what he damaged

Dont waste your money on Mr. Gorski, my opinion...you would be better with no attorney at all. Not only was he not prepared for court, but it was obvious he had no idea what he was doing. I wish i had hired anyone else, but i had no personal referrals except this site. After court, I requested our f...ee agreement 5 times because I had a question about the invoice....that I also had to request. I spoke to 4 other attorneys in hopes to fix what Mr Gorski damaged....all of them agreed he is not a good choice (that was the nice version)

"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.
