Review David Golden

David is Golden!

Posted by

David was the lawyer I hired after my fiancé was arrested on a VOP charge; a charge that could have yielded a very long sentence. David was very honest and forthright about the circumstances and outcomes we were facing. David immediately told me what I needed to do to expedite the legal process, and fought extremely hard to reduce his sentence. I am forever grateful for him tolerating my incessant phone calls, emails, and inquiries. He is a lawyer that I recommend with 100% certainty.

Second to None!

Mr. Golden’s effort led to the successful conclusion in a traffic case. He and his staff were nothing but professional during the process and communication was outstanding. There was no guessing or wondering as I was kept advised throughout the case. Hats off to Mr. Golden and his staff for a job well done. I hope you don’t need the services of an attorney but rest easy if you do. Mr. Golden has your back!!

David Golden is the best!

Posted by

This is the second time David Golden has represented me. In both cases his representation was 5 star. He went above and beyond what would be expected to get the best possible outcome for both cases. The staff at his firm were also top notch especially Darci, she gave up to the minute updates on the progression of my cases, and was in constant communication with any questions I had. I highly recommend Mr. Golden and would not hesitate to hire him again, he is definitely the best!

David Golden's response: Thank you Harold for you trust in us, and we look forward to your continued friendship in the years to come. All the best...!

Responsive and professional

Posted by

David handled a misdemeanor case for my son a few years ago He was very responsive and got a favorable outcome. It was our first experience with the court system and David guided us through the process with true professionalism. More recently, I ask David to help us with more serious violations but he had a conflict of interest. However, David graciously referred us to another attorney who was equally competent. That referral was greatly appreciated.

Defense was needed

Thank you for guiding me through a legal process that was very difficult. I could not have done this on my own and your insight and knowledge definitely gave me benefit in getting a better result. I don’t plan on needing an attorney going forward but if I do your the one. I will absolutely recommend you to anyone needing your services. Thank you Chuck

Great Law firm

Posted by

I was referred to this law frim from a bailiff police buddy of mine. He told me that David Golden was up and up type of a guy that listens to your problems and then plans strategy to have a good out come for his client's. I am proof that he did every thing to help me get through my sleepless nights and his paralegal Mrs. Darcy was instrumental in keeping me up to date with all of the court stuff that goes down. I felt extremely comfortable in their hands I would recommend them to any one that got into situations that require an Attorney.
