Sid Gold is a pillar of our local legal community and perhaps the best-known Plaintiff's employment lawyer in the City of Philadelphia. He deserves it. He is smart and talented and his long years of practice are evident in the comfort he displays when executing every litigation task and his velvet smooth delivery of perfect arguments and advocacy. It is always a pleasure to have him or his firm on the other side of a case.
