"I have worked with Andrew Golden for fifteen (15) years, both in jointly defending employment litigation claims and as my firm’s opponent in employment litigation matters. Andrew is an exceptional legal strategist, positioning cases for the optimum resolution for his clients. In his current practice, Andrew represents individuals in bringing employment claims. Andrew knows how corporations think, having served as an in-house employment counsel for a Fortune 500 company managing complex employment litigation matters and top outside counsel across the country for 15 years. He knows how to maximize claim recoveries for individual employees because he knows how corporations value cases and knows what concerns corporations. Andrew consistently demonstrates the highest integrity. When Andrew gives his word, people people count on it. I would not have any hesitation in having Andrew represent me or any member of my family. I recommend him without reservation."
"Andrew possess significant traits that are not learned at law school. He is compassionate and honest. He is also smart, patient, and deliberate. Although he is a litigator and a strong advocate, he seeks to avoid overly adversarial encounters - he is a gentleman lawyer who counsels instead of fighting for the sake of fighting. I strongly endorse Andrew."
"Andrew is a bright and talented lawyer with deep expertise, and extensive experience in this space. He brings a practical perspective, focused on resolving issues, not driving up costs. His background and education in counseling make him a stand-out lawyer in this space, enabling him to create connections with both clients and adversaries and bring matters to a quick and efficient resolution. Finally, his desire to making a positive difference in his clients' lives make him a passionate advocate."
"Andrew is a zealous, but thoughtful attorney and advocate. He also brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to counseling his clients on the best path toward a satisfactory result."
"As a fellow plaintiff-side employment lawyer, I endorse Andrew wholeheartedly. He brings a unique perspective as a former in-house attorney that few can match. As importantly, he is fair, compassionate, honest, strategic, and incredibly smart."
