Biography

Drawing from more than a decade of experience as a Senior Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County, Mr. Gorin now specializes in the defense of complex criminal matters in state and federal courts nationwide.

Having litigated approximately 100 jury trials, he has successfully defended attorneys, medical professionals, business owners, and corporations on felony and misdemeanor crimes nationally.

Mr. Gorin specializes in all criminal defense matters, including allegations of sex crimes, federal violations, drug crimes, domestic violence, white-collar crime, juvenile court, drug crimes, and DUI.

Mr. Gorin has also litigated some of the largest white collar crime and narcotics cases nationally. Many of his publicity cases have been profiled by media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times, Daily News, ABC, NBC, and Court TV.

Even if an arrest has been made, Mr. Gorin focuses on getting charges dropped before formal charging in court. It is important for a criminal defense professional to intervene early and aggressively.

This includes an immediate crime scene investigation, witness interviews, and other work that could convince the prosecution not to bring criminal charges and keep a person's record clean.

Since 2001, Mr. Gorin has served as an Adjunct Professor at both Pepperdine Law School and UCLA, in trial and pre-trial litigation, public speaking, and criminal law.

He is also an active member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the California Association of Criminal Justice, and is the founder of the Eastern European Bar Association.

He regularly instructs other attorneys on criminal defense litigation and has presented MCLE lectures at the California State Bar, Santa Monica Bar, and San Fernando Valley Bar Associations.

Mr. Gorin is frequently asked to serve as a legal expert/analyst for various national and international media outlets and has previously provided commentary on many high-profile criminal prosecutions.

22 Questions Answered
Q. i just got a letter from district attorneys office stating the office filed a complaint charge against me for identity
A: What should you do? First step would be to consult with a local criminal criminal lawyer to review the details and your legal options. Don't make any statements to law enforcement. Remain silent.
Q. How many hours can i work while on house arrest?
A: Agree with Mr. Gribow. You need to call your original attorney and ask them this question since they are most familiar with the details of your case. Good job on staying busy with work.
Q. I was pulled over & searched the cop found multiple checks in my toolbox tht has no lock
A: You might have a valid defense, but will need to privately consult with a criminal attorney to review the specific details and talk about options. You can use Justia or Google to locate a few lawyers in your area. Good luck
