HENRY J. GORIN is engaged in the practice of law in Seattle.  Mr. Gorin was 
born in Missouri in 1880.  He is a graduate of Washington University.  St. 
Louis, Mo., taking his LL. B. degree in 1902.  He served as probate attorney 
for the Lincoln Trust Company of St. Louis, one of the largest concerns of its 
character in that section of the country.  In that city he was in private 
practice for about five years, during part of which time he served as 
Professor of Medical Jurisprudence in the American Medical College.  It was in 
1911 that Mr. Gorin first came to Seattle and since that time he has succeeded 
in building up a clientele of which any man could well afford to feel justly 
proud.  He prefers keeping clients out of litigation when possible, but when 
he enters trial he neither asks nor gives quarter, maintaining the rights of 
his client.  At no time does he permit technicalities to obscure the justice 
of a case.  He is forceful and sincere, while his attitude in addressing a 
jury is impressive. Mr. Gorin is what I would term a practical man.  By this I 
mean self-made, and the success which has come to him is based upon self 
effort.  His offices are in the Central Building, Seattle.
