AVVO Superb Lawyers (2010-Present)

Hands down the best criminal defense attorney. Dmitry Gorin has got to be one of the best, if not the best criminal defense lawyer! Very knowledgeable and confident in court that knows exactly what he is doing. My brother was arrested a couple of months back for kidnapping and rape. The prosecutor was trying to give him a life sentence. After months of Dmitry gathering up evidence and building a strong case to beat my brother's case, he got my brother out of jail with no felony over his head after just needing to take a couple of sex ed classes! Very confident and experienced lawyer that will tear an arm and a leg going up against the prosecutor to beat your case! Highly recommend Dmitry gorin, next time, if ever needed I'll definitely be hiring him without a doubt.

Highly recommend Dmitry Gorin. I was charged with a felony driving under the influence with bodily injury and facing jail time. A family friend, who was a prior client and was enrolled in his UCLA law class, recommended I contact Dmitry. From my first phone call with him to my final court date, he and his legal team were very professional, yet empathetic towards me and my family. He always stayed in constant contact with me with new information on my case. He was honest, direct, and pragmatic. With Dmitry and his law firm's knowledge of the Los Angeles County courts system, hard work, and diligence, my criminal charges were reduced to a misdemeanor first time DUI offense. I HIGHLY recommend Dmitry Gorin and his criminal defense legal team at Eisner Goring LLP. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, I know exactly who to call.

Dmitry Gorin is an excellent defense attorney. In almost 50 years of my life, I never needed an attorney. After I was charged with a misdemeanor crime I did not commit, I quickly searched for a criminal defense attorney. Many of my friends and colleagues told me about Dmitry Gorin, so I gave him a call. We had a meeting where we reviewed the details of my criminal case. Dmitry was very knowledgeable and helpful in every step of the legal process. When there were some roadblocks, he would explain what was happening and made me feel comfortable. Since I did not have the financial or emotional means to go through a trial, he worked out a very reasonable plea deal. Nobody should ever have to go through the nightmare of dealing with criminal charges alone. In my situation, finding the right criminal defense lawyer like Dmitry Gorin made it all the easier. After previously saying "what should I do, I don't have a lawyer?", I can now say if I ever need an attorney in the future, "I have the best attorney, get Mr. Dmitry Gorin on the phone!". Thank you Dmitry and all your legal staff! I am very thankful for everything that you have done for me!

Made the impossible possible! My brother was charged with a sex crime involving a minor and he is a 40 year old plus man. Although my brother is a bit slow developmentally, no matter where I read, everything points to jail time and sex offender registration even if you are found by experts to be mentally incompetent. My sister and I prepared for the worst case. However, Mr. Gorin and his team managed to have the DA not file any charges at all. My brother was never charged and the case was dropped. They worked hard from the time of our consultation to completion. They were very thorough with preparations and no time at all did I feel they were not working hard for me. All my questions through emails and texts were returned within an hour or less. They know the law and more importantly, they have a solid reputation that is respected by their peers and surrounding DA's. I also think the positive relationship Mr. Gorin has with the DA's are crucial when it comes down to negotiating. He has it all. Choosing Mr. Gorin to handle my brother's case was the best decision ever.

Great outcome in my criminal case: Dmitry Gorin handled my criminal case and was so professional. It was a highly stressful situation for me personally but he was so informative and up front in constructing a plan of attack to fight the charges against me. His hard work paid off because I got all four criminal charges against me thrown away. I'm so thankful for his efforts and would hire him again without question.

I got a greater outcome than I anticipated: I was facing two felony sex crime charges. From the very first phone call, Dmitry made me feel like I was in good hands. He knew exactly what he was doing and kept me in the loop with the progress of my case. In the end, I avoided jail time and got three years of informal probation since he got one of the charges dropped and got the second lowered to a misdemeanor. I did have to do 290 registration but he was up front during our consultation that that was highly likely to be part of the outcome regardless. All in all, the outcome was far greater than I could have anticipated since the initial probation we were offered was five years instead of three and I, again, avoided jail time completely. I would highly recommend Dmitry, especially if you are facing similar charges.

My case was dismissed: Outstanding performance from Mr. Gorin himself and office employees. He kept me updated throughout the whole process. He was able to keep me out of jail and got me the best possible result. My case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence! Thank you Mr. Gorin. You are a lifesaver!

I highly recommend Mr. Gorin: Dmitry Gorin is top notch. From the first phone call on, he made me feel calm and in good hands. His demeanor is reassuring and totally professional. I had never needed a lawyer in his field before and I was quite scared. He kept me informed and in the loop every step of the way. He and his partners took time to hear everything I had to say and put it to good use in my case. They made me feel as though they knew me already. Like family. They got my case resolved quickly and efficiently. I recommend them highly.

Got my DUI case thrown out: Mr. Gorin was able to get my DUI case dismissed. He was friendly, incredibly intelligent, and worth every penny. He was always available to answer my questions which really helped me keep calm during the whole case. I will recommend Eisner and Gorin to everyone possible.
