Highly Knowledgeable
I was referred to Mr. Gould by a lifelong friend for assistance with a Probate case. Mr. Gould's expertise and guidance provided me with much assurance during a year's long process that included the court's closing due to COVID-19. I'm greatly appreciative of him!
"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."
