About Eric
Biography
Eric J. Gold has been a Los Angeles lawyer since being admitted to the California State Bar on December 20, 1999.
Mr. Gold obtained his law degree (Juris Doctorate) in 1999, from the University of LaVerne, College of Law. Mr. Gold opted to attend the four-year, part-time, evening program, so that he could pursue his business interests during the day. While in law school, Mr. Gold was a contributing author to the law review (The Journal of Legal Advocacy and Practice) and received various academic achievement awards.
In 1993, Mr. Gold earned a Master of Science degree in Macomb, Illinois at Western Illinois University. This advanced degree focused primarily on macro-level administration in the recreation and tourism industry. The degree was completed through a professional internship with a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit outdoor cycling advocacy organization. At the conclusion of the internship program, Mr. Gold became the first full-time, paid employee of that organization. Today, Mr. Gold remains an avid cyclist.
He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1991, from Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins, Colorado. His major was Human Development and Family Studies, with an interdisciplinary focus in gerontology (the study of the elderly and the aging of America). This program was through the CSU, College of Applied Human Sciences. This background provides a unique perspective into family related issues and dynamics.
Through his experience and background, Mr. Gold's perspective and demeanor are unique. He handles each and every project personally. When you work with The Law Offices of Eric J. Gold, APC, you are working with him.

Worked quickly and efficiently under a deadline
Eric began working with me nearly 9 months before actual completion of my Trust. Because I was in the middle of putting a house up for sale, then buying and moving, he was very patient with me and occasionally would reach out to ask if I was ready to move forward. Finally, in June I had to have an un...

Needed Estate Planning

Personal and Comprehensive
Eric Gold was a pleasure to meet with and his approach is one that is genuinely kind and attentive. He was very patient and took time to answer all my questions. He is a friendly family man that I recommend to all who don't have an Estate Trust set up.
