About

Born in Utica, NY, one of 4 sons, the only Gorski to go to law school,  I graduated in 1981 from Antioch School of Law in Washington, DC, moved to Tennessee to begin my legal career, and moved here to Oregon in 1987, and have been here ever since.My chilren are grown, my wife Lynda and I have 4 Australian Shepherds, and we love to boat and be on the water as much as possible.  I love beer, which helps being a duii lawyer, and music ( I'm somewhat of a stereophile ).  I have had law partners, clerks, assistants and secretaries, but for the past several years I have found that being a one man operation, while exhausting, and hard work, is the best way for me to practice law. I answer my own phone, and do everything there is to do on a client's case.  You hire me, you get  just me.  ( My wife does all the behind the scenes work on the business end of this shop, thankfully!)I love what I do and I have worked many years and very hard to develop skills as a courtroom lawyer in traffic and criminal cases in Oregon state courts.  I believe my best asset as an attorney is that I am a people person who cares very much about my clients, and I think that shows in what a lawyer does - to a judge, to a DA, and to a jury.  There are many lawyers, there are very few skilled courtroom lawyers.  I am a courtroom lawyer and I'm very proud of that.  Thanks for reading!

I appreciate how informative Mr.Gorski was , I had a lot of questions regarding my speeding tickets and not only did he offer me the best price out of the lawyers in portland I called but he gave me genuine advice if I were not to go with him . To plead not guilty (in my case) and to fight it . He gave me the pros and cons of my case and gave me a genuine answer on if it was worth it to hire him . I’m wrote this review because he was straight foward and gave me my options with no pressure to hire him . Thank you very much for your time Mr.Gorski!

9 hours ago I hired Mark before and it was hard to tell how he did because ticket was a dismissal due to the officer not showing up to court. Got two more tickets, pretty nasty one's and decided to hire Mark again. I'm here to tell you I most definitely got my money's worth. Whether or not you will have the same results, I don't know that. All I do know is this man put in the work and again I don't know what he did or how he did it but my two nasty tickets are in thin air. Also gave me a discount for being a returning customer. My experience has been very good with Mark, I'm definitely recommending him otherwise, I wouldn't be leaving this review. Also I don't think this review is really justifying of how good he is, all I know is he really, really saved me big time and hopefully I don't get anymore tickets but if I ever did I'd call this man firsthand hand without a doubt.

Mark was so great and was my knight in shining armor. Not only taking on a hard case for my younger brother and winning but also for me. He is officially my to go to guy for traffic law. His communication is flawless, is honest and straightforward. who can ask for any more in a lawyer. Thank you so much Mark!

I was referred to Mr Gorski for helping one of my drivers with a traffic ticket. He was straight forward and told me that he would not be able to help and a "simple" traffic violation-for me, actually is hard to beat. I've dealt with many different lawyers and never seen such an honesty. It would be really easy for him to say that he would try and get paid, but instead he said that he can't win this. Definitely you will be the attorney who I will contact next time I need!

When I hired Mr. Gorski, I was in a terrible legal position and needed immediate representation. He made the time and the effort to fit me into his schedule and represented me as hard as he could. When we came to trial he fought and did an amazing job representing me. I was cleared of all charges and I am forever in his debt.

I felt comfortable with Mark representing me after our first meeting. He truly cares and will explore all possibilities when it comes to your defense. I was very happy with the outcome, and had the same experience whith Mark with a record expungement years later.

Mark has helped me in the past with DUI cases and always has been amazing. This time my son was arrest for murder (case was dismissed) I did not know where to turn, so I called Mark and he was there for me. This was not his normal expertise, but immediately went down and helped my son. He was amazing. If you ever need someone on your side, knows what they are talking about, is a straight shooter, and is not afraid to fight for you, he is the one!!! This man is my families hero!!!!

I was charged with trespassing while protesting an event. I found Mark, gave him a call and he called me back that same day. It was the weekend... Mark immediately told me the next steps and what he was going to do. He kept in touch with the district attorney, keeping me up to date, and in the end got the charges dismissed. My experience with Mark was nothing short of phenomenal. He asserted calmness in a moment that I wasn't so calm, and assured me (and proved to me) that he would handle it. Once I have over my information, he for the rest of the work. If I, or anyone I know, get into legal trouble in Oregon, I'll definitely recommend Mark. Thank you so much Mark, you're truly a godsend.

Getting a speeding ticket that’s over 100 mph blows. I got mine in the Clackamas County, where the police officers are stuck up and unforgiving. I did some research online, and I found myself at the bottom on the ocean with cinder blocks around my feet. I heard about Mark Gorski from a friend, and I ended up hiring him. Gorski was doing everything in a professional manner, and he explained the most possible outcomes from the beginning. I was looking at a $1,200 ticket, license suspension up to a year, a hand full of classes, and expensive insurance. At this point, decreasing the speed and the price of the ticket would have been enough for me. Instead, Gorski called me after the trial, and told me that the ticket got dismissed. Apparently the police officer left out minor information during the trial, which Gorski noticed, and later used the missing details against the case. The judge ended up dismissing the case. Gorski told me when he was talking with the deputy, the deputy said there was no way that he was going to drop the ticket, or lower it. Gorski saved me thousands of dollars. I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Gorski.
