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!

Mark is my Hero
I was very fortunate to meet Mark at my arraignment for my arrest at a sit-in during the Occupy Movement in October of 2011. After spending the night in jail, having never been arrested before, I was terrified, confused and completely out of my element. I am a mother of two and had never done anythin...

100% for Mark S Gorksi
I strongly recommend Mr Gorski to defend you in court. I can't express, in words, how much he did for me during my trial. He always kept myself and family up to speed and we were never blindslided by positive or negative feedback by the DA during the entire process. He spent many days/hours research...

Dont Reccomend Him
Horrible lawyer!! Did not help me at all with the case and in the end all my fees came to more than the cost of the ticket. Wouldn't answer the phone and then was very cocky and treated me more like a criminal than a client when I needed help. Did not provide me with sufficient information on anythin...
Fighting traffic tickets in Oregon is extremely difficult. Most lawyers won't take traffic ticket cases. I do, because driving is an important part of most people's life, some jobs even depend on a license. I strive to do the best I can, and I need the client to do their part in return. Communicating through text, voicemail, email, fax, and telephone have been key in my practice. While I am very experienced and do all I can, we don't always win, and I am sorry you feel I have not helped you, as that is always my goal.

Mark Gorski gets five stars!
I highly recommend Mr. Gorski. He was instrumental in guiding me through a very difficult situation. Without his counsel I am certain I would have faired much worse. His knowledge, experience, and guidance can be trusted and followed to obtain the best outcome possible. I would not hesitate to employ...
"Mr. Gorski is not afraid to ruffle a few feathers and won't back away from a good fight. He's the type of lawyer you want in your corner."
"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."
