Eisner Gorin LLP Law Firm Overview

Our law firm is AV-Rated and has been nationally recognized as a premier Los Angeles criminal defense law firm for state, juvenile, and federal defense. 

The law firm's criminal defense lawyers have more than 60 years combined experience in defending cases throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California on a variety of criminal issues, with a long history of successful case results.

Our law firm partners have previously worked in the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, which gives them a unique understanding of how the DA will attempt to build and prosecute a criminal case.

In addition, our experience has taught us how police detectives conduct their criminal investigations, giving them useful knowledge to help develop an effective defense strategy for their clients.

If you were arrested for a criminal offense in Los Angeles County, the pretrial process would proceed when you enter a not-guilty plea.

The pretrial is a court appearance that allows for motions such as to suppress evidence under California Penal Code Section 1538.5 or a motion to set aside the complaint under California Penal Code Section 995. Anyone who has been charged with a minor crime or non-violent misdemeanor are frequently granted an own recognizance release.

We are dedicated to protecting our client's legal rights and obtaining the best possible outcome for every case we defend.

Early intervention into your case by an experienced Los Angeles criminal defense attorney at our law firm is absolutely critical as it can make the difference between jail time and freedom. See related blog: Don't speak to police without a lawyer.

We also provide victim representation in criminal court in domestic violence, sex offenses, and other serious injury cases.

Pre-Filing Intervention

A successful prefiling intervention by our Los Angeles criminal defense law firm may result in criminal charges stemming from an arrest being dropped and dismissed before an arraignment, the first day in court.

Our clients arrested for felony conduct regularly have their cases reduced or dropped. In one alleged assault at a karaoke bar, the client posted $300,000 bail after arrest and had all charges dismissed after our firm's intervention.

Similarly, a young man accused of sexual assault was exonerated after an on-campus video surfaced showing a consensual relationship. And a film producer arrested for felony domestic violence was similarly exonerated once the claimant's background was closely investigated.

In each instance, early and aggressive advocacy by our California criminal defense lawyers with law enforcement and prosecuting agencies, along with a thorough defense investigation, was essential before the arraignment.

Our clients ended up with no criminal charges on their record, per Penal Code Section 849.5 (arrest is reported as detention only), and did not have to report the incidents to the Medical Board and the State Bar. 

Why does this happen? Many times, the police do not include all witnesses or physical evidence in their reports.

Other times, the client's background is forgotten. Aggressive pre-filing intervention by our criminal attorneys with the prosecution may cause the government to see the case as weak and should see the light of the court. 

Remember, an arrest is made on probable cause, whereas proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required in court. The goal with early and aggressive defense intervention is to establish a holistic picture about the case from the defense perspective raising doubt about the strength of the evidence.

Alan Eisner, who has been practicing criminal law exclusively since 1987, is State-Bar Certified Specialist in Criminal Law. Why does the California State Bar certify legal specialists?

To help the public identify lawyers who have demonstrated proficiency in a specialized field of law and to encourage the maintenance and improvement of attorney competence in their specialized field.

What exactly does it mean when an attorney is a Certified Specialist in California? A Certified Specialist is much more than just a lawyer who specializes in a particular area of law.

Any California attorney who is certified by the State Bar as a Criminal Law specialist must have:

  • (1) successfully passed a written examination in the field of criminal law;
  • (2) has demonstrated a very high level of experience in the field of criminal law;
  • (3) has fulfilled continued education requirements;
  • (4) has been favorably evaluated by his peers and judges who are familiar with the quality of his work.
