    I was caught up in a very intense felony legal matter. I contacted attorney Dmitry Gorin and felt immediately he could handle it. His work ethic and legal staff were second to none. Inside the court, I could tell he was respected. He knew how to position of my case and I was able to settle it in my favor. Thank you Dmitry Gorin and staff.

    I hired attorney Dmitry Gorin and his legal team on recommendation of another attorney. We spent over a year on my case including three visits to federal court. I thought I was going to prison. Dmitry amazingly got me only 12 months of home confinement. He wrote a great report to the court asking for this sentence rather than many years in prison. I also liked how they kept me updated on case status.

    I needed to hire a criminal defense attorney to defend me against false accusations. I made an appointment and was seen right away by Mr. Gorin. I liked how he communicated with me. On the first day, he came up with a game plan and handle the matter with expertise and knowledge. The DA never filed a case against me because of the quick action of Mr. Gorin and his team. If you need a defense lawyer, Dmitry Gorin is who you should see.

Representative Clients

  • Valerie - I can't say enough good things about Dmitry Gorin and his law firm. From Noreen, the office manager, To Meryl Chambers, and associate attorney. I was treated with the utmost respect and the issues of my son's arrest were addressed as if I were their only client. I received their undivided attention during my free consultation which took some considerable time. I felt so confident with Dmitry and his team I hired them that day. They were always available to answer my questions and concerns and was on top of my sons case as if it was there most important client. I never felt uninformed or unimportant through the entire process. My son was very fortunate that his case did not go beyond arraignment, but if he had gone to trial I'm confident that Dmitry and his team would have gotten him the best possible results. It's very scary having a loved one charged with a felony, but if you should find yourself needing a criminal attorney you cannot find better representation than Eisner and Gorin.

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.
