Great from beginning to end

I hired him on our first meeting and he started working in my favor right away. He knows what he is doing and worked hard to handle my case. He was blunt when needed and always honest and upfront. His paralegal is amazing and made the process even easier. They are a great team together

Post-Divorce Matters

I was referred to Howard Gold by a friend who retained him for her divorce. My initial phone consultation went well, and then I met him in person, and he was abrasive in his conversational style. Notwithstanding my initial impression, I proceeded to retain him based on my friend’s previous experience... about Howard and my belief Howard would represent my best interests. Unfortunately, this was an erroneous belief on my part, in retrospect. I proceeded to pay him a $5,000 retainer, for which I was never given a line-item invoice with dates/hours for services rendered. Interestingly, my new attorney I hired after letting Howard go provides me with these invoices for services rendered. During the course of my engagement with Howard, I had a separate issue arise from the one I initially retained him for, and I contacted him about this issue. I expected his response to be something along the line of “Hey, let’s meet and discuss this and our strategy.” Instead he sent me an email that basically stated to send him another $5,000. I am not a legal scholar, so I have no objective yardstick to measure his knowledge of the law. Notwithstanding this, I think Howard knows the law. But when hiring a lawyer, understanding the law isn’t the only deciding factor. It’s important the person can engage in a meaningful conversation. I had one final meeting with Howard in person and he mistreated me. It was at that time I realized Howard and I were not a good fit, and we needed to part ways

Custody Dispute

Howard A. Gold was retained to represent our daughter in a horrific custody battle. He failed to file certain documents resulting in the case eventually being heard in a much less favorable venue at much greater cost to my daughter. This error could not be corrected after the fact. He did not p...oint out and explain material long term negative consequences of certain clauses included in an arbitration agreement which my daughter did not fully understand.

I hired Mr. Gold in 2002 and again in 2017. My cases we always handled professionally and proficiently. In both cases I achieved my desired results!

Excellent Attorney

I hired Howard Gold last year to help me with a nasty divorce and custody case. Howard Gold was exactly the attorney I needed. He went to bat for me and my child, my finances, and my future. It was refreshing to have an attorney who listened and understood the bottom line.
