What Clients Say

Client review
Michael B.
DUI Defense · Century City
★★★★★
"I was charged with a DUI after a traffic stop in West Hollywood. Eisner Gorin got my charges reduced significantly. They knew the procedural weaknesses in the stop and challenged the breathalyzer evidence. Case closed — I kept my license."
Client review
Thomas R.
Federal White Collar · Los Angeles
★★★★★
"Facing a federal investigation is the most stressful thing I've experienced. Dmitry Gorin was exceptionally calm, strategic, and well-connected to how federal prosecutors approach these cases — because he was one. The matter resolved far better than I expected."
Client review
Lisa M.
Drug Charges · Van Nuys
★★★★★
"My son was charged with drug possession with intent. Eisner Gorin negotiated a diversion program that kept him out of jail and off his record. They explained every option, never overpromised, and delivered exactly what they said they could."

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

Why does it matter that the founders were prosecutors?
Former prosecutors know what it takes for the government to prove a case — and where cases fall apart. Alan Eisner and Dmitry Gorin spent years charging people with crimes before switching to defense work. That inside knowledge — of what evidence matters, how DAs evaluate plea offers, and where procedural violations occur — is genuinely valuable when you're the one being charged.
Does Eisner Gorin handle federal criminal cases?
Yes. Federal criminal defense is one of the firm's specialties. Federal cases — including white-collar crime, drug trafficking, fraud, and money laundering — are prosecuted by the US Attorney's Office and carry mandatory minimum sentences that make early intervention and strong defense strategy critical. The firm handles federal cases in the Central District of California and beyond.
Can a DUI be reduced or dismissed in California?
Yes, in some cases. Eisner Gorin regularly challenges DUI charges by scrutinizing the lawfulness of the traffic stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the accuracy of breathalyzer or blood test results. If procedural or evidentiary problems exist, charges may be reduced (e.g., to a "wet reckless") or dismissed. Results depend heavily on the specific facts of each case.
What is a Certified Criminal Law Specialist?
The California State Bar certifies lawyers in specific practice areas who have passed written exams, demonstrated substantial involvement in that area, completed continuing education, and received favorable peer evaluations. Fewer than 1% of California attorneys hold criminal law specialist certification. Both Eisner and Gorin are certified — a meaningful signal of depth in criminal defense.
Does the firm handle cases outside Los Angeles?
Yes. Eisner Gorin LLP serves clients throughout Southern California, including the San Fernando Valley (office at 16000 Ventura Blvd, Encino), Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Federal matters are handled in the Central District of California, which covers the greater LA region.
