Immediate Understanding of Legal Problem, Excellent Judgment, Compassionate, Responsive, Reliable, Pragmatic, Excellent Results

Attorney Jack Gold understood my legal problems, and took immediate action to avoid any adverse consequence to me or my family. As a Judicial Officer, Commissioner Gold was extremely courteous to all Lawyers and Litigants who appeared before him. His rulings were well-reasoned, and tailored to pro...duce realistic results and outcomes for each particular case. His presence is missed by both the Bench and Bar. I trust that Jack Gold's instruction, by way of example, will continue to influence the Los Angeles Judiciary in perpetuity.

personable, excellent professional

Mr. Gold helped me through a potential legal situation. He carefully walked me through the whole thing in detail with potential arguements pro and cons. I have never met a attorney like him. I was taken back by his knowledge and logic. I had not yet retained him and through his guidance he counseled... me that I did not need to. His honesty, guidance, direction, legal advise was what captured my attention about him. My past experiences with attorneys (divorce/custody) in the past have been "come on in" but pay your way before I speak to you. So to have Mr. Gold counsel me without retaining him as my attorney was incredably kind. In fact he reviewed what I had when he was at home. Yes he was at home! I hate to say this but now I have a new found trust and faith in the legal system thanks to Mr. Gold. He is HONEST, kind, intelligent, straight forward and VERY knowledgable. I would most definately recommend him as an outstanding attorney. (I never hired him but had to write something when it said when did you last hire him)

Review of Jack J. Gold

Jack Gold has shown himself to be the kind of Lawyer who is always trustworthy. He kept us informed at all times and he was responsive to all our questions on a timely basis. To say Jack was knowledgeable when it came to our case is not enough. Jack's sense of timing, knowledge of the law and communi...cation skills saved the day for our family. We put our trust in Jack and He came through for us. We won our case Our son was set free, and we will be forever indebted to the excellent defence Jack Gold put forth on our behalf. We will be forever grateful to Jack for his service to our family.

Jack Gold Review

Jack was an excellent attorney. He always kept us informed about every aspect of our son's case. He explained how juvenile law worked and was always available for questions. He is very well versed in criminal and juvenile law.

THE MAN -

Most attentive, immaginative and activated! His knowledge of the multi-complex court systems in the Los Angeles area is remarkable - yet, with Jack's experience, most understandable. Because of his perserverance, my case was dismissed.
