Howard A. Gold

I will be recommending Howard to any friends/family that are looking for a family law attorney. He helped me through a very difficult and confusing case and came out with a positive, fair outcome. He is professional and also understands the psychology behind family law. His paralegal, Matt, was so ki...nd and understanding. He's incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, and attentive. They make a great team, and I felt confident being represented by Howard. I went from being upset and confused to empowered and confident about my case because of Howard and Matt. If you want an experienced attorney with not only the best legal relationships, but a paralegal that is absolutely the top of his field, hire Howard.

I went to Howard the summer of 2017. He kindly welcomed me and asked about my case, firmly telling me to only answer what he asked. He received a phone call from a client and he yelled at his client during all the conversation. That should have been an indicator for me of how he was about to treat m...e, but I trusted his reviews, the fact that he says he had been a psychotherapist, and his internet claims that he had defended special needs children. I am a teacher and a single mother who was fighting for the custody of her teenager with Asperger's. I hired him giving him a $5000 retainer. During our second meeting, a couple weeks later, he welcomed me kindly again. He closed his office door and started questioning me about my case information. I told him that I had sent him the information in my emails for which I knew he had already charged me but he said he did not remember my information since he had many cases. I tried to tell him the information that he did not remember and he started yelling and told me that my "f------" information was not important to the case. He asked me questions loudly and continuously screamed at me directing me to only answer what he asked me. At one point I stopped looking at him because I was terrified of the monster he had become. He yelled saying LOOK AT ME with his hand shaking. He continued screaming and questioned me if I spoke English. As I got up to leave, he changed completely and smiled kindly saying that I had good information for the case. He sent me to his assistant who kindly asked me for a second $5000 retainer to continue with the case! Howard called me the next day to apologize and to ask me not to give him bad reviews in the internet. A couple days later I sent him a letter asking him to withdraw from my case and he did. I am here to warn any one like me who trusted how nicely he portrays himself on the internet. He may mistreat you, he may have a hard time remembering your case information when he has already charged you for it, and he may take your money with no mercy. He claims to have been a psychotherapist, but I truly feel he needs a psychotherapist himself. He intimidated me, humilliated me, and charged me for that meeting, as well as for emails that if he read, he sure could no longer remember their information.

Mr. Gold represented me in my contested divorce and a fraudulent domestic violence in Forsyth county. He truly is an attorney who knows the law - cared about me, and worked hard to ensure my clean image is restored back by winning both cases. For me Howard is a super lawyer who can get things done. T...hank you very much!!
