I endorse Don Golden. I had the pleasure of working for Don for several years, early in my legal career, and I could not have asked for a better mentor. He is very knowledgeable, has high ethical standards, and is an excellent advocate for his clients.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I know Donald through a Lawyer Mastermind Group that focuses on continually finding new and better ways to provide excellent service to our clients. Donald is just one of the nicest fellows you would want to meet. Add to it that he has a command of the Bankruptcy Code and how to make it work for his clients and you have a winner of a combination! He really cares about helping his people, which really matters to me. I feel comfortable recommending Donald to anyone having financial issues needing resolution through the Bankruptcy system.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Being a bankruptcy attorney in the same community, I am often meeting with clients who I can not represent because of a conflict. Don is always the first person I recommend to assist. He is dedicated, bright and very knowledgeable. I know that Don can provide the same level of service that I strive to provide for my own clients each day.
Don is a sharp legal mind and has compassion for his clients. He'd be my recommendation for anyone with a debt problem in the area.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
During my career, I have had the opportunity to litigate cases with Mr. Golden. I have always found him to be very well prepared, organized and in command of his case. Don knows the law, and he uses that superior knowledge to his advantage. He works well with opposing counsel, yet never compromises his client's position. He is an excellent advocate.
David Bromley, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 13, 2013
Relationship: Co-worker
I endorse Don as he has superior knowledge of the law and any client would benefit from having his representation. Don cares for his clients and strives to provide them with excellent service and attention.
