Mr. Eisner is an expert in courtroom defense. His law firm handled a case for a member of our family where they were efficient in getting the DA’’s office to drop all the charges. I liked how they were always available to answer questions. My family and I highly recommend this law firm for their astute and comprehensive solution before any collateral damage.

I was arrested for the domestic violence and charged with a felony case because she had a bruised eye. I thought I was screwed because the situation looked horrible. After speaking with multiple lawyers, the law firm of Eisner Gorin sounded the most confident. I liked how anytime I had questions they were always there to answer them. Alan and his legal team managed to get the charges dismissed! Highly recommend this law firm.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
