Posted by Earthwalkharmony | February 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Debt Settlement

Stellar. I have Deep Gratitude for this Bright Being.

Outstanding. I'm so happy and grateful for being connected with Attorney Jeremy Golden and his team. He provided excellent defense for me which resulted in the best possible outcome. Attorney Jeremy Golden, nominee for one of San Diego's Top Attorneys of Consumer Defense exhibited excellent knowledge... of his field and was a pleasure to do business with. My case jurisdiction was in San Bernardino, California and we were able to conduct most business via distance communications. If you require legal assistance regarding alleged student loan debt or other consumer related issue, I highly recommend you contact Jeremy S. Golden and his team at goldencardona.com. He and his team specialize in many legal areas so visit the site to see if they may be able to help you. I consulted with eight different firms before I chose Attorney Jeremy Golden and I am grateful every day for my decision to do so.

One of a kind - excellent attorney

Jeremy represented me over a year ago in a case that went to arbitration and ever since then he has helped me countless times by providing me with helpful directions and insights whenever I am in a bind and even with situations unrelated to the case he represented me for. His help is reliable and tru...st worthy and even if he doesn't know an answer to my question, he puts me in contact with someone who does. He takes time to really listen and I get a true sense that he really cares about helping people over his own financial gain. I have worked with and contacted a number of different lawyers and he is by far the most superior in terms of professionalism, expertise, reliability and responsiveness... And he's down to earth, calm and quite simply... A comforting person to talk to in times of distress. That's such an unexpected and refreshing quality to see in an attorney. Aside from those great qualities, he also works fast and gets quick results. Once hired, filing occurred quickly and it all happened without ever meeting him in person until the actual date of arbitration. I would highly recommend Jeremy to anyone. I too, have consulted with him regarding overwhelming school loan debt including collections and I would without a doubt, feel confident in his representation. I've read these other reviews and they are all spot on. Jeremy is one of a kind.

Attorney Jeremy is highly knowledgeable, he promptly returns all calls and e-mails. He obtained an excellent result for me

Jeremy Golden is, if not the best lawyer, one of the absolute best consumer attorneys I have ever dealt with, he is extremely competent, courteous and professional at all times. He took the time to listen to and address all of my concerns in a timely and cost-effective manner. He kept me updated e...very step of the way; most importantly he obtained an excellent result for me, better than I ever imagined. I would highly recommend Jeremy; I have already recommended him to friends.

Great job by Atty. Jeremy Scott Golden...Without a doubt I highly recommend !!!

If i were in a foxhole left alone fighting i would want Atty Jeremy Golden at my back. He gets things done and would never leave you. Their firm has handled three (3) cases for me and all of them got dismissed. A perfect score. Atty. Golden was professional, corteous and very knowledgeable of... what he does. I spoke to him on the phone and he listened to everything what i said regarding my case. No interrruption. He then asked questions and for me to fax the documents related to the case. Every step of the way i get updated on the status of my case. I always received copies of documents sent out to the other party as well. He gives you the breakdown of the case and options you have and lets you make the decision. When the settlement came the other party at first did not want to erase a complaint on my credit report saying its not their job. Jeremy told me that he will get back to me shortly and after a week or two he gave me the good news. The other law firm gave in to our demand. Before that the law firm was threatening to go to court and i was getting ready for it. We prepared documents and evidences. I later got a call from Jeremy that they retreated and willing to settle. I am very satisfied from the service i received from Atty. Golden and would highly recommend him without any hesitation.

Relationship: Friend

"Jeremey Golden is a very bright, skilled, and on track to becoming a leading consumer rights attorney. He has an impressive track record of accomplishing significantly positive results for his clients, the "little guy" and continues to distinguish himself from his colleagues. On a personal level, Jeremy is a very kind and compassionate person and we are very fortunate to have him lending a hand to those in our community that go either unrepresented or under represented and who are victims of corporate abuse and misconduct."
