Easy to work with
Not knowing really what I needed, I enquired locally for advice on estate planning and trusts, After being quoted many thousands of dollars, I was referred to Rodney by our regional church. He worked with me online and over the phone and got the job done at a reasonable price.

An excellent lawyer!
I came to Rodney several years ago to revise my outdated Living Trust, and have returned to him for updates as needed. Despite my complicated family situation, he has always taken the time to listen carefully to what I want, and has drafted documents that are much clearer and more concise than my or...

Excellent Attorney
I have worked alongside Rodney with a mutual client for many years and have always been impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and friendly personality. Recently, my husband and I hired Rodney to do our family trust. I had no idea it would be as easy as it was. The preparation was the part t...
"DMV isn't fair nor do they follow the law 100% of the time. Sometimes, you need a writ attorney to step in and fight the DMV on appeal. Rodney Gould is the only attorney I will refer possible writ cases to. Every one of my client's Mr. Gould retained for writ has resulted in a reversal of the DMV decision as well as a stay of suspension. I endorse Mr. Gould and look forward to working with him in the future."
