David Really Cares about his Clients

I was in a car wreck in 2012. An elderly lady did not see my car when she turned in front of me. The tremendous impact knocked me unconscious. The airbags deployed. My car was a total loss. After I was transported by ambulance to the hospital, I called one of the BIG TV ADVERTISING INJURY LAW FIRMS. ...They sent me to their favorite chiropractor who ran up a bill greater than $10,000.00. Once the chiropractor released me, that big firm sent a demand letter to the insurance company. But I was not well yet! How dare they try to settle my case when I was still in great pain? I fired that big law firm and hired David Gold. David got me treatment with many REAL doctors and because my case was complicated, we ended up having to file suit while I was still recovering from my injuries. Eventually, I did get better, but, not all the way better. David and his associates successfully mediated my case for a confidential dollar amount that will provide me with plenty of money for a future surgery if I choose to have one. What I really liked about working with David and his staff is that they really care about me and my health. I am a real person and not just a number to them. I highly recommend the Gold Law Firm if you get in a car wreck.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Suspension issued in TN, 2009

updated on 09/19/2017

Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

David’s comment:

“This suspension was actually in 2005 but was not set until 2009. It involved a client who lied to me and the police. Rather than face a worse punishment, I accepted a suspension.”
