DUI and DWI 65%

Drunk driving defense in all Oregon State courts. Duii is a special area of the law that requires constant involvement in to be the best defender of those accused of this crime. Being a top shelf courtroom lawyer is essential, as almost every duii case needs to go to a trial.

Any criminal case in Oregon State courts, from minor violation cases to major felonies, except I do not handle homicide or capital cases.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 15%

Traffic tickets cause insurance increases to most and loss of jobs to others. Traffic court is a tricky place to practice law, and all of the traffic courts in Oregon are all very different, and a lawyer needs to know those differences to best represent their clients. I have been in most of these courts in Oregon, where I have represented many taxi, limo, truck driver, and other professional drivers for many years.

Spectacular Attorney

Got a significant speeding ticket a couple years ago. Should have been an automatic license suspension with heavy fines. Mark is great! Clear and easy to communicate with through text, call, and email. Walked me through the whole case. I did everything he recommended! He worked a deal with the office...r and today I ended up paying 1/4 of the of the original fines, charges reduced, and most dismissed. No suspension. Highly recommend. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! Even the officer said I hired the right attorney!

You can trust them completely and expect the result

Hello everyone, it was the first time I turned to this lawyer. At first I was very worried. But then I realized that I fell into reliable hands after everything was explained to me and told that they would do everything possible to get the best possible result. I had two tickets, one of which was ...very serious.I don't know how, but he managed to cancel both and assign me classes. Definitely recommend!!

Case Dismissed!

I had a pretty bad speeding ticket that was 100+ mph on the freeway and $1,200. It took over a year to resolve but after Gorksi reached out to the officer to get a deal for me the officer miraculously agreed to drop the case if I did 10 hours of community service, took a 4 hour class about dangers of... speeding and wrote an essay about it. I fulfilled the requirements and the case was dismissed! Gorski had good communication (quick and short) and was clear about the requirements. I do believe the officer who gives you the ticket plays the biggest role in the outcome and I got really lucky.

Glad I found Mark!

I was unsure anything could be done about a ticket that included three separate charges for speed racing, reckless driving, and speeding but Mark assured me he would do his best to represent me and fight these charges. In the end he was able to negotiate a deal to drop the first two charges if I atte...nded a traffic safety class, which I did. I'm grateful and would happily recommend him to anyone needing the kind of services he offers.

Amazing Work

I’m glad I hired Mark. I had three charges including a moving violation when I got pulled over. The tickets added up over $600. Mark took the case and cleared all charges. I didn’t even have to take classes which I thought I would’ve had too. Super happy that I hired him!
