Howard A. Gold

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

I was having difficulting with an ex-wife overturning my pro se divorce with the help of her attorney. After the overturning my divorce, I hired a passive attorney that was being railroaded by the other attorney. My ex-wife purposely never agreed to any court order or mediation, which cost me money, ...time away from the job and etc. After almost two years of back and forth, I used my last resources to hire Howard Gold Law. Howard entered into the case and almost instantly my ex-wife's attorney withdrew from the case. Howard immediately understood my case goals and went to work like a Jaguar. He cornered my ex-wife from stalling for so long and got me a divorce and saved me another $30,000 of debt, low child support payments and closure to one complex case. I thank Howard for an excellent Job! I recommend this law firm! I suggest for everyone going through a divorce to put the hurt and the painful emotions to the side if you want an effective divorce. Howard's Psychotherapy background allows for him to see in between the lines of your emotions. He kept me on point and driven to completion.

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!!
