Client Law Firm Reviews

Chuck has been there from the start of my ordeal. He was top notch on getting things done with many hoops to go through. Never once faltered on his skills. Best in the business as far as I am concerned. Thank you for all you have done. ~ Patricia, Avvo

I am writing this review in hopes that potential clients will read this. I have never been in trouble or let alone a speeding ticket or never had detention after school. I got myself in an unlike-me situation, and I went online to find a defense attorney to help me. I came across Mr. Gorian’s website, I READ all the reviews, my gut feeling said to use his services. I have NEVER even seen a courtroom in my 44 years. He walked me through everything, made sure I understood everything that was taking place, and then worked on my behalf and also acted as a therapist because, to be honest, I was scared of what the outcome could be. He handled everything with ease, got me the best outcome, and was simply the best all around. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Gorian’s services hands down. You will NOT be disappointed. He is the real deal and I will always recommend him to everyone that needs this style of service. ~ J.S., Google

Chuck got me through the hardest and most stressful time in my life so far. Amazingly professional. Was definitely the right person for the job. ~ Brian, Avvo

He is a true master of his craft and puts the needs of his clients before his own. ~ M.N., Google

I would like to start off by thanking Chuck Gorian from the bottom of my heart. His efforts and professionalism were nothing short of exceptional. Chuck helped me get my record expunged as well as a certificate of rehabilitation granted. I was convicted in 2014, so it’s best to say this was a long time coming. I never thought this day would come so soon and so promptly. Chuck also made sure to always answer my calls, emails, and text whenever I needed him. He is a true master of his craft and puts the needs of his clients before his own. No matter how many cases or court appearances he managed to always be there with a great attitude. I hope to never need his services again and stay on the straight and narrow path. I will definitely be recommending his services to anyone in need in the future. Thank you again Chuck. You saved my family’s life as well as mine. ~ M.N., Google

Chuck solved my case in a very professional manner. I could never thank him enough for what he has done for me. ~ M.L., Google

I cannot recommend Chuck enough!!! I was facing three felony counts that endangered not only my freedom, but also the custody of my children! Mr. Gorian took the time to hear my side of the story, reviewed the supposed facts against me and found so many discrepancies in the police report that didn’t add up and was able to get the District Attorney to drop all of my charges down to an infraction with no fine… ~ R.M., Avvo

…Not only is he passionate about his work. He also takes that extra step to build a relationship with himself and his clients. He is a badass lawyer. He got my 500k bailed knocked down to 70k so I could come home and continue working at my job. I was potentially looking at 11 years in prison. Chuck reassured me that it wouldn’t come to that. It definitely didn’t. No prison time for me, only 2 years felony probation and a little work release. After I complete that I will be partnering with Chuck again to get an expungement going on that. I am so happy that I chose to sign Chuck as my legal representative. Thank you for all you did Chuck! ~ anonymous, Google

Mr. Gorian represented my son on a major case. As a family, we could not believe what our son had done and really felt helpless at first. We didn’t really know what to do or who to turn to for the help we needed. As a father, my first instinct was to let my son learn his lesson in a jail cell. Luckily, I called a friend of mine in San Bernardino County and he advised me to bail my son out ASAP, because with the seriousness of his case, he will learn his lesson soon enough. He also shared with me that since we were in Riverside County that him representing my son was not in the best interest of the case. He then recommended Mr. Charles Gorian. As soon as we contacted Mr. Gorian, he stepped right up and began helping and calming our fears immediately. Throughout the crazy year that Covid brought to us all, Mr. Gorian and his team, was there for us every step of the way. The communication from him and his office was second to none. He guided us through all the court proceedings, and kept us abreast of all the dealings with the D.A.. Yet, the greatest strength of Mr. Gorian was when he stepped in the courtroom. He seemed like a conductor in his element. He maneuvered the proceedings with ease and a comfort level that calmed our fears and apprehensions, as we had never had to deal with this type of situation ever before. And the most important part of our case was that Mr. Gorian got my son and our family the outcome we prayed and wished for, for over a year. We were so lucky to have an attorney that was as professional, skilled, and amazingly good as Mr. Gorian. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you for all you do and have done for our family, Chuck!! You are the Best!! ~ Scott, Yelp

I can not express my gratitude enough for Mr. Gorian. He guided me through an extremely difficult time with professionalism, care and 20 plus years of experience. His knowledge and understanding along with compassion makes him an amazing asset to anyone. ~ Lisa, Yelp

“Gorian did such an amazing job helping us out with my teenage son’s ticket. So happy with the end result!” ~ Mike

“Chuck Gorian is the best! He was really helpful in regards to answering my questions and not giving me the boot to refer me to other attorneys without giving me some feedback. Other attorney offices I had spoken to told me they wouldn’t be able to help me or that I could find somewhere cheaper without even giving me any kind of consultation or feedback. He made my day and helped me to the best of his ability and it was very sincere and genuine and he actually gave me some hope. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this office, he fights for his clients and is knowledgeable and is a very caring individual. 10 stars out of 5 if I could!” ~ Jamie

He walked me through every step clearly and thoroughly, making sure I understood every detail of my case and plans moving forward. I am extremely grateful for his attentiveness and quick response time. Mr.Gorian responded to any texts or phone calls quicker than any professional I have spoken to no matter the urgency of my questions. He has gone above and beyond to not only attain the best outcome possible, but be of great support through the whole process. If you are looking for an attorney whom will provide you with confidence of receiving the best end result and is responsive and attentive to all of your needs, I would highly recommend choosing Mr.Gorian as your representative.” ~ Allison, Lawyers.com and Yelp
