The Gorski Firm pointed me in the right direction in my needs. I went to another office before setting up an appointment with The Gorski Firm and they were charging me an arm and a leg for there services. With The Gorski Firm I had a free 30 min consoltation and made me feel safe and secure about my situation Thank you!

I had a legal matter in which time was of the essence, and the clock was running out. Mr. Gorski was recommended to my by a retired judge. I left a message with Mr. Gorski's receptionist, and he promptly contacted me. He was able to resolve in an hour what I would have taken us weeks. I have worked with hundreds of attorneys throughout my career. Gorski's knowledge of the law, ability to identify the complex issues at hand, and fast resolution were VERY impressive. I look forward to hiring him again in the future when I need expert level legal counsel.

Top notch attorney! Highly recommended! Mr. Gorski helped me through an extremely difficult situation regarding custody of my son. He told me specifically what to expect and was honest regarding what was reasonable. His office staff was always helpful and courteous. Thank you

Mr Gorski was very professional, apologized for keeping us waiting, listened to my situation and advised me. He was kind and wanted to make sure all of my questions had been addressed. In the end, he said your case is strait forward. And advised seeking a paralegal who could do the paperwork and save me money not having to pay his attorney fees. I’m super grateful. Thank you Vincent Gorski. I will certainly refer you to friends and family.

Spoke with Mr.Gorski in January about divorce and child custody, he said he would would file the paperwork and my ex would be served. February came and went then March and nothing had been filed! When I would call the office the girls would say , oh just waiting on the court they’re pretty backed up. Then My ex and I came up with our own agreement and I just needed them to write it. They couldn’t even do that! So here I am in July and I had to go retain a different attorney because my ex got tired of waiting so I got served with paperwork! Worst law firm ever!!

I reached out to The Gorski Firm through Yelp and Vincent responded right away. He answered all of my questions without telling me to call the office for a 5 min appointment. This saved me lots of time. I definitely recommend this firm!

I was extremely nervous to meet with an attorney for a consult but honestly he made me feel comfortable talking to him and provided great service and excellent advice. I would very highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who is looking for a good attorney.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Mr. Gorski and his team. Custody battles can be some of the most stressful moments of any parents life, especially when your time with your son/daughter is cut from little to none. Since the day I met Mr. Gorski at our consultation, and explained everything about my situation, he assured me of what he could do for me and what we would need to do to get there. His staff was wonderful, professional, attentive, and always available with answers whenever I had questions. The custody process can be quite lengthy, but at the end Mr. Gorski delivers results. I was granted 50/50 which is what I wanted from day one. I am more than happy with my result, I am forever grateful. He gave me my daughter back, I had missed out on the last 10 months of her life, and now I’ll have her even more now than I did before. I’m beyond Joy. Thank you Mr. Gorski and Staff.

Vincent Gorski handled my personal injury case better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. Vince made the time to explain the process to me and reassure me that everything would workout. He fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm and attorney. Thank you all!!!”

I had an excellent experience with my custody case. Like many of the other people mentioned, Gorski told me exactly what to expect. I met two other lawyers before hiring Gorski. The information the other guys gave me seemed all to good to be true. I wasn't comfortable with them because it seemed as if they were simply trying to tell me what I wanted to hear to get my case. Gorski told me that my requests were a little unreasonable and helped me develope a plan to get significantly more time with my daughter. I liked that he did not just tell me what I wanted to here. His staff was always polite and friendly. I felt that everyone took time to explain my case and make sure that my questions were answered. Another person stated that they did not like that when Gorski's office asks you to bring in documents they make you make an appointment and bring all documents in at once. I questioned this at first too because I felt that I should be able to come in any time I want to drop off documents and the first time I did I was missing some. It was Jacqueline or Maritza that explained to me that if I bring in documents without making an appointment first then other appointments would be left waiting. I understand that isn't fair for the other people that made an appointment if I didn't make one. She also explained to me that if they take only some documents clients frequently forget what they brought in and sometimes never bring in the rest. This made sense to me and I appreciate that they have rules in place to make my case work quickly. In conclusion, I was very satisfied with the services I received from Gorski. He ended up increasing my time with my daughter. He was always polite and friendly. His staff was always polite and friendly too.

Mr. Gorski was such an amazing help with my case. I first contacted him over Yelp and he responded almost immediately. His response time is very quick! He was able to help me so much over Yelp (I don't live close enough to just go in for an appointment) and then when I finally felt like he truly cared about my case and my situation, I made the trip to his firm and was able to meet with him. He was even more helpful in person and I am now planning to hire him for my family law case. Mr. Gorski also served in the Air Force and I have plans to do the same. This made it even better for my case as he understood the rules about entering military service with family law matters still being addressed. My wife and I could not be happier that we met with this lawyer as he has done his best to help us save our son. I would give him more than 5 stars if I could and I definitely recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance for family law matters!

I hired Gorski back in November of 2018. At first he sounded very confident and made me feel comfortable. Then his office was late on filing the paperwork and serving my ex wife. When I would call I would speak to Jacqueline his office manager who is also his girlfriend. She is very rude and tries to talk over you. Its actually the same with Maritza. We moved forward to the hearing in January and when i arrived in California (cause I live in Florida) I still hadn't heard from Gorski as he said he would call me to prepare for the court hearing. When I met him at court the look on his face was kinda surprised, almost as if he didn't remember that I would be there that day. Gorski wanted to prolong the hearing but i was sure we had enough to win so I told him to continue on that day. I did win the case that day and got custody but the judge based her decision off of speaking to my son not anything Gorski did. Fast forward to July. My ex wife files for custody. So since i still believe we had money left with Gorski and he was familiar with the case plus I'm all the way in Florida it was easiest to call Gorski to see if he could help. Gorski called me in the middle of the court hearing and I told him to just get this over with as soon as possible. The actions he took were the opposite. When I called the next day to speak with him about why that happened his assistant Maritza tried to start talking over me while I was trying to explain why I was upset . I told her that I would like to speak to Gorski or I was firing him. I received a call back from them 5 minutes later saying he was quitting my case. Everyone in that office is rude and they don't return calls and take forever to return emails. Also Gorski is unethical and his advice actually hurt my case rather than helping it. Also I have never received any receipts or invoices from them which I have asked for many times to understand what I was paying for, yet they have no problem calling me and asking me for more money. Guess I shouldn't be surprised about this with the past record he has. My fault for not doing my homework on this guy.

I am completely amazed with the professionalism and responsiveness of this firm. Vincent Gorski did a phenomenal job, he sat with me and really got to know my situation to represent me in court. His paralegal, Jacqueline, was extremely helpful, she would always answer all my questions (and I ask ALOT of questions). This firm is much more affordable than other local family law firms. I highly recommend The Gorski Firm for any family law matters. Thank you so much!

Absolutely professional in his field and honest. Takes his time to explain thoroughly all aspect of possibilities. I’ve known of Gorski back when he was the bankruptcy Trustee, all and all he’s extremely knowledgeable. If you want someone with a good reputation formerly a trustee you must trust in the Gorski firm. I do!

Attorney Vincent was very open and compassionate, he let me know a few options for me to take and the consequences of each of those choices. Not your typical Attorney, and I have know many over the years. Please meet him and you will agree, his heart is in it.

When I hired Mr. Gorski in 2015-2016 he help me out and gave me good advise on our first meeting... He also said that he had never seen a case like mine because it was so detailed.... But wanted to take a shot at it and it was different and new to him... Then when time came closer to my court date I hired him and he won my case... I Definitely will referred him to others that are dealing with custody issues ....

I consulted with most of the divorce lawyers in Bakersfield before hiring Mr. Gorski. My prior divorce lawyer continued the case many times which caused significant frustration because it felt like we were not getting anything accomplished. This is the main reason that I decided to hire a new lawyer and interviewed many before deciding on Mr. Gorski. When I met with Mr. Gorski, he was considerate and listened to my concerns. He was honest with me as to what I could expect and how he could move my case forward. His pricing was fair and I did not feel that he was simply trying to generate fees. This was a significant change from my prior divorce lawyer. Mr. Gorski was able to resolve my case in a reasonable time after getting into it. The results were extremely favorable. Some of the reviews on this site talk about his staff. My experiences were always favorable with his staff. They provided detailed lists of information that was needed from me and were always helpful with any concerns/questions that I had when it came to matters that I did not understand. I give Mr. Gorski two thumbs up and would recommend his office to anyone that is looking for a divorce lawyer in Bakersfield.

Gorski outstanding bankruptcy attorney. If you are looking for someone to handle your bankruptcy, he is the one to call. He goes above and beyond and will take you through each step of the process explaining and clarifying everything along the way. He is quick to answer your questions and stays on top of everything. His rates are very reasonable. My wife and I highly recommend him.

I have had to consult with Vince twice since 2013 , on both occasions
he and his staff went above and beyond what could simply be referred to as a "free consultation" going as far as retrieving old court documents dating back three and four years. I would highly recommend the Gorski firm to any that ask.

We hired Mr. Gorski to handle a routine (for him) family business matter, and the service was outstanding. He explained everything in plain English and was very patient, despite the fact that we had TONS of questions. His honesty and expertise were apparent at our consultation, and the follow-through did not disappoint. We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Gorski for any and all things related to family and business law.

These people are great at taking your money, my daughter thought she was going to need to be represented by an attorney, I paid the retention fee of $750 and the next day she found out she wouldn't need an attorney, she asked for a refund and was told that it would only take 7 to 10 days, it's been over 30 days!! and every time my daughter calls they tell her that's they'll call her back when the attorney has the refund ready. We've even gone in to talk to them and they still haven't refunded the money, I would never recommend this place to anybody, to me these people are theives!!

They are the best lawyers in town. I hired them to plan for the care of my children. It was a brief meeting, but they understood my situation, they immediately work on the case. Thank you Gorski Firm for the big help. Will recommend.

I was in a terrible mess and embarrassed to even need his help! I contacted Vincent Gorski for bankruptcy assistance because someone I work with had used him before. I had already talked to two other lawyers that I didn’t think even listened to my concerns. The other lawyers were more concerned with just getting me to sign up and it was clear that money was his sole motivation. Mr. Gorski met with me for free and took all the time I needed to explain bankruptcy and how it could help me. When I left his office the first time, I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. My case has been done for a couple of weeks now and I was very happy with Vincent as my lawyer. He is the best. Period!

I had an excellent experience with this firm. Unlike many of the divorce attorneys that I contacted in town, from the first consult, Mr. Gorski told me exactly what to expect and did not give any "pie in the sky" statements of how my case would turn out and that he was the only one that could achieve those results. In fact, Mr. Gorski was straight forward in telling me that my chances of success on certain issues was unlikely. I greatly appreciated his straight forward and honest opinion. While most of the reviews here are positive (and, in my opinion, well deserved based on my experiences), I think the biggest problem most people may have in family law cases are unreasonable expectations. Mr. Gorski and his staff worked hard for me from the beginning to end of my case. I know that some of my expectations at the beginning of my case were unreasonable. I appreciate the open and honest assessment of my case and all issues. I knew exactly what to expect. I was well informed from beginning to end. I remember Mr. Gorski telling me at the first consult that the first few months are always the most difficult. During those months you have to figure out where you are going to live (if you haven't moved out yet), how you are going to afford to live on one income instead of two, a schedule for the children, and making sure that all of the children's needs are met.

He was always prepared for court. If this is your first divorce or custoday case, as it was mine, Mr. Gorski will do a good job of explaining what to expect. He correctly informed me that the court sets 15 to 20 matters at the same time and whatever is not finished by noon is either set for another day or brought back at 1:30 p.m. He correctly informed me that the cases that reached agreements at mediation typically were called first and those needing a contested hearing, in many instances, are not set the same day but require the parties to come back at another time. He took the time to talk with me in the hall before court to make sure that there were no changes from what we stated in our paperwork and to confirm that what I was requesting remained the same. Even though the other side was not represented by an attorney and the fact that I consider myself a good public speaker, it was very comforting to have Mr. Gorski there to speak on my behalf and present the proper arguments to the judge for me. I found Mr. Gorski and his staff to be extremely professional and courteous to me during the entire process.

I am hopeful that I never have to go through a divorce or child custody matter again, if I do, I will certainly retain Mr. Gorski.

Horrible experience.
Verify dissatisfied, would never recommend this office to anyone. I had a child custody issue. Consultation went well the day I met with Mr. Gorski. Office receptionist/ paralegal were always rude and never helpful. Retain him as my lawyer 2 weeks prior to my court date. Called office many times and girls would always say I would get a call back in regards to my questions, never did. Asked to speak with Mr. Gorski directly they said they would have him return my calls. Never got a call back. I called almost every other day for a week and a half. Called the day prior to my court to confirm. He met me there. The day of court they wanted to ask for a continuance on my case that I was told was going to be easy. I declined as of there was no reason. A response was never filed on my behalf to my case. During court, information that was incorrect in regard to ex spouses income was not corrected, so the incorrect amount for child support is now incorrect. Have to continue it myself through DCS. I have been told that paperwork for after hearing was sent to my ex spouse, which it has been 11 days and he has not received it yet. My after hearing paperwork is suppose to be filed on November 7. We will see if it gets done. As I still continue to call the office and I am always told I will get a call back with answers to my questions and never do. Today I asked the girl for the # to the Bar association. She says she can not give it to me as she does not have it. Although. It was on my payment information sheet. Scheduled payments were to be taken out on the 23 of every month 2 weeks later it has not been taken out. I cant get any answers. Hiring a lawyer is suppose t give you a sense of relief, all it did was stress me out, unable to sleep and eat correctly. Biggest mistake I ever made. I hope maybe they don't take out the money seeing how nothing was even done for my case besides the 30 minutes he spent in court. If I could not grade a star at all I would.

I had a great experience with gorski and his staff maritza and Stephanie where the ones dealing with my case always letting me know the update on my statues on my case very respectful and professional always answered my questions and concerns. When I went to court gorski was very supportive and put all his best into the case and I was very satisfied with the results. I would definitely recommend to anybody filing for divorce or any help you may need.

I hired Mr. Gorski to handle my bankruptcy case. My experience was excellent. Every question that I had was promptly addressed. At the consultation there was no pressure to retain. The process was thoroughly explained to me and I took a few weeks to decide whether it was the best option for me. Once I decided to file bankruptcy, Mr. Gorski's staff was helpful in making sure that I got all of my documents turned in. The process went extremely smoothly and I am now following the tips Mr. Gorski provided for rebuilding my credit after filing bankruptcy. I am seeing an increase in my credit score on credit karma :) Thank you Mr. Gorski for everything.

I had a free consultation with Vincent Gorski today and it was wonderful he provided me with all the information I needed and answered all of my questions. Due to my case's jurisdiction being held in a different state I was not able to retain him. I was so disappointed because I knew Mr.Gorski would have been the best choice for legal representation. I highly recommend anyone needing legal advice in relation to cases in family law to meet with him. The office was also very nice and the receptionist Martiza is very welcoming and very professional.

Mr.Gorski and his office did nothing but help and get us through the bankruptcy process quick and easy. If there was ever a moment we didn't understand something they would take the time to help us no matter how long it took. They take pride in there clients and you feel very welcome at that office rather than feeling like just another person walking in. I would recommend this office to everyone.

Mr. Gorski was able to help me after I retained him the evening before my hearing. Retained him at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. He represented me the following day on Wednesday at 8:30 am. Did his research and learned all the facts. A Lion in Court! Everything went my way.
Very pleased with the outcome and with Mr. Gorski and his staff.

I would not have been able to get through this very difficult period of my life without the incredible service I have received from The Gorski Firm. The Gorski Firm was there with me every step of the way. When there was any update or change regarding my case, The Gorski Firm (Jacqueline Bahena) was right on top of it to keep me in the loop. I pray that I never have to go through this again, but I know if I it was unavoidable the first call I would make would be to The Gorski Firm.

Thank you

The Gorski Firm did an outstanding job with my case. Vincent is very courteous and professional and his staff was always pleasant. I spoke with many attorneys in Bakersfield before deciding to hire The Gorski Firm. My matter involved relatively complex issues and other attorneys stated that they could not help. Without any hesitation in wanting to help me, Vincent Gorski told me that while it was a bit of an “uphill battle” I did have a chance. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and recommend Vincent Gorski and his law firm, The Gorski Firm, for anyone looking for a quality and competent Bakersfield lawyer.

Does not pay attention to Detail or Dates which is what he is paid for in a BK filing, I was left with a huge debt that he did not include which is what we had discussed! He will not return phone calls nor look at me when I see him in public!! Totally incompetent and I would not recommend to any one breathing!! Researching the Bar to file a complaint now!!!!
