    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.

Firm Information

Overview

At Eisner Gorin LLP, a Southern California criminal defense law firm, our attorneys, with combined criminal law experience of over 50 years, exclusively practice criminal defense. We represent people charged with or being investigated for crimes, including general criminal offenses, both misdemeanors and felonies, DUI, white collar crimes, domestic violence, sex crimes, juvenile crimes, drug crimes, and theft. We handle the most difficult cases with great results. Unlike other firms, you will always meet with the lawyer, not an "office manager" or "paralegal".

Aggressive Representation with Compassion and Integrity

Our attorneys are skillful negotiators and able adversaries in court, aggressively pursuing our clients' interests. However, we also have a reputation among law enforcement officers and prosecutors for practicing criminal law with compassion and integrity, giving us credibility and allowing us to establish important professional relationships. Our strategic location across from the courts, police and prosecutors office allows us to aggressively and immediately begin defending your rights. Early intervention can lead to cases being rejected, filed as a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony, or set for an Office Hearing.

Creative Problem Solving

We look for creative ways to solve our clients' legal problems. This starts with creative approaches to issues involving law enforcement and prosecutors. If a case reaches the sentencing stage, we look for creative approaches to sentencing. We always try to find ways to mitigate sentencing and avoid incarceration, often by emphasizing rehabilitation.

We have a large array of experts, both psychological and psychiatric, who assist in changing the prosecutors' and the courts' views of our clients. There are many imaginative ways to resolve a case without the expense and toll, as well as the uncertainty, of a jury trial. Keeping our clients' best interests in mind, we aggressively move forward, always keeping an eye on mitigating any criminal exposure that might exist.

Dedication to Clients

Our California law firm is dedicated to our clients. We work hard for them and always seek to do what is in their best interests. We also listen to them, many of whom are people who feel like they aren't listened to enough. Our clients come back for our help when they need to and recommend us to their family and friends. Some of our clients are third-generation clients. Please visit the Testimonial section of this site to see what our clients have to say.

Unlike other firms who advertise heavily on the radio or send "Jail Mail" to your home, we believe in the personal touch that you deserve. You will not be talking to non-lawyers whose job it is to sign you up. At Eisner Gorin LLP, you will meet with the attorney handling your case. Unlike firms that advertise "Offices throughout the Southland," we have one office, directly across from the Van Nuys Courthouse. Therefore, unlike the other firms, your case will not be sloughed off to an inexperienced contract lawyer working for the attorney you thought you had hired!

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.
