In 2015 Gorin defended paparazzo Paul Raef, who was charged for chasing Justin Bieber. The case contained a First Amendment issue - Gorin and his legal team argued that the law, which was the first case to be prosecuted under California's 2010 Anti-Paparazzi Statute (CVC 1708.8), unfairly targeted members of the press. The statute was struck down as unconstitutional, and was later upheld on appeal.

In 2017, Gorin represented comedian Kathy Griffin in a Secret Service investigation due to her photoshoot with a mask styled to look like Donald Trump.

Gorin has also defended Los Angeles Dodgers player James Loney, soap opera actress Jensen Buchanan, former Glee star Mark Salling, and the fiancée of hip-hop mogul and executive Suge Knight, Toi-Lin Kelly, and boxing champion Sergey Kovalev.
