also known as Mark Gorski, Moose
Born in Utica, NY, one of 4 sons, the only Gorski to go to law school, I graduated in 1981 from Antioch School of Law in Washington, DC, moved to Tennessee to begin my legal career, and moved here to Oregon in 1987, and have been here ever since.
My chilren are grown, my wife Lynda and I have 4 Australian Shepherds, and we love to boat and be on the water as much as possible. I love beer, which helps being a duii lawyer, and music ( I'm somewhat of a stereophile ). I have had law partners, clerks, assistants and secretaries, but for the past several years I have found that being a one man operation, while exhausting, and hard work, is the best way for me to practice law. I answer my own phone, and do everything there is to do on a client's case. You hire me, you get just me. ( My wife does all the behind the scenes work on the business end of this shop, thankfully!)
I love what I do and I have worked many years and very hard to develop skills as a courtroom lawyer in traffic and criminal cases in Oregon state courts. I believe my best asset as an attorney is that I am a people person who cares very much about my clients, and I think that shows in what a lawyer does - to a judge, to a DA, and to a jury. There are many lawyers, there are very few skilled courtroom lawyers. I am a courtroom lawyer and I'm very proud of that. Thanks for reading!

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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!

"Mark Gorski is not just a trial lawyer. He is a trial warrior. A gladiator. He is fearless, passionate, and always prepared to defend his clients in the courtroom."
"I endorse Mark Gorski wholeheartedly. I know and respect Mark as a friend, colleague and mentor and am one of the few who have worked on cases with him as a defense attorney and against him as a prosecutor. He is the gold standard. If you are looking for an attorney in your corner that is knowledgeable, thorough and aggressive, Mark is your man. Don't go it alone, get Mark on the case."
"Mark Gorski is, in my opinion, the best DUII trial lawyer in the State of Oregon. I have seen him win cases that I thought were unwindable. He is a relentless advocate for his clients, well respected by the judges, feared by the cops, and juries trust him when he speaks. Professional & personable."
"I have known Mr Gorski for more than a dozen years. I know him to be an attorney who works hard for his clients. Mr Gorski is dedicated to finding the strategy that will succeed. I do not hesitate to refer clients to Mr Gorski when the occasion arises."
"Peter Carini endorses Mr. Goski. Mark Goski is well known throughout legal circles in Multnomah County as an expert in DUII defense. I would not hesitate in having him represent me if I ever was busted for a DUI in Portland."
