Connecticut’s #1 Employment Attorney

In a few words, Attorney Andrew Golden is the best of the best. He successfully resolved my complicated employment issue. I am very fortunate that I hired such a brilliant lawyer to resolve my matter. Attorney Golden provided clear, helpful, exemplary, and thorough legal counsel during the entire pro...cess working with him. All case details were put in simple, easy to understand terms and he walked me through all the steps from start to finish. Any concern or question I had were answered within minutes. Not only did Attorney Golden’s excellent communication help expedite the whole process, it also allowed me to remain calm at all times. Hiring an employment lawyer to represent you is such an important decision. Taking the time to do your research can quickly become overwhelming - if you are ever in the position of looking like I was - trust your gut and put yourself at ease by contacting Andrew Golden. Connecticut is lucky to have such an honorable, employment attorney who makes it a priority to deliver desired results for his clients.

Employment Law Superstar

To put it simply, Attorney Golden is an extraordinary attorney. If you’re looking for an attorney with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in Employment Law there is no need to look further. Andrew is pragmatic and efficient. Due to his background working for major law firms in the past, he was quickly ...able to dissect my situation and offer many options. I came to him very last minute, and he promptly prioritized meeting with me and even set up initial contact with my previous employer within days. He is honest, and explained all steps of the case very clearly, even including a proposed timeline that happened exactly as he outlined. That’s just how good he is. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous when trying to decide what step to take with the deadline I was given. But Attorney Golden never seemed pushy or impatient when it came to my endless mood swings or anxious episodes. He was always calm, patient and very transparent on all of my options to the point where I decided to take a chance on him and ultimately myself. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Every promise was fulfilled, every prediction came to fruition, and even when things did go off track he was always proactive in keeping me updated whether via email or phone. So if you’re looking for an attorney who does not communicate, is only in it for the money or will treat you like you’re not a priority then this is not the attorney for you. However, if you’re looking an Employment Law Superstar who is well-informed, patient, efficient and yields real results in a timely manner then Attorney Andrew Golden is the only one to call. I have nothing but great things to say about this attorney, and would recommend him a thousand times over. Thank you for everything truly!

Attorney Andrew Golden Review

We recently have had the pleasure of retaining Attorney Andrew Golden as a labor attorney. Attorney Golden not only displayed the utmost of professionalism, but also had such compassion for me. He always listened to me and contributed positively to our discussions. He was such a team player. He was... also willing to take the extra time to accomplish these goals and to accommodate us. He was compassionate and understanding, showing true empathy to my situation. I would highly recommend him as an attorney as he would be an asset to any legal case.

Highly Recommended

I had an amazing experience working with Attorney Golden and can't recommend his services enough. He was clear in his communication and took time to lay out the process and set expectations along the way. Attorney Golden took the time to understand my situation and made an effort to get to know me pe...rsonally as well. His follow up was excellent and he was able to make an unfortunate situation quite a positive experience.

Posted by Client | March 23, 2023

Clear and Concise

Amazing and understanding, Attorney Golden listens and understands and evaluates in an exemplary fashion. Rare to find this, friendly and professional in every way, he was able to break down my case and explain in simple terms my options and possible outcomes in a clear and concise manner and provid...ed many avenues that are options for me. Highly recommended if anyone happens to have a case in his field of expertise, top class.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
