Posted by Greg | April 03, 2019 | Domestic Violence

Amazing, outstanding, competent, and above all has a high level of compassion and empathy.

Mr. Golden is fair, a straight shooter, compassionate, and shows a genuine love for his craft. ++++++ If he were closer to Kenosha I'd consider myself blessed to have him represent me in a non violent domestic abuse case. I yelled at professional victim with a long history of having men arrested for ...abuse to leave my home. Men are under fire right now and Mr. Golden would be a wonderfully competent men's champion.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Andrew both as a fellow law student and as a practicing attorney working primarily in criminal defense. As a law student Andrew was both dedicated and able to distinguish himself enough to win one of Marquette University Law School's prestigious fellowships. As a practicing attorney he continues to be a trustworthy and dedicated resource for my own work and potential referrals. Andrew is the first person I refer people to, because I am confident that they will be represented by a high quality and dedicated attorney. I would place Andrew as a top attorney in his field based on my interactions with him, and the legal community of Milwaukee over the past 5 years."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
