I Would Hire Him Again In A Minute!

I found Richard Golden to be a fantastic resource when I was facing divorce in a 21 year marriage. His knowledge and many years of experience helped me to negotiate an extremely fair settlement without having to pay support. Richard was also very adept at managing the divorce process through our cour...t system not only in the technical aspects of filing etc., but also having had the experience of previously working with the judge assigned to my case. His ability to communicate with opposing council was excellent and fostered a very “workable” relationship. Most attorneys don’t often receive credit for being good listeners, but in Richard’s case he was excellent and willingly listened to my needs and frequent venting! I would hire him again in a minute!

a complete waste of time

Totally ineffective in the negotiation portion of my divorce case. He was completely out classed by opposing council. The case dragged on endlessly and he made several errors on documents. I think he means well but is not on the top of his game.

Family lawyer | Nov 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Richard Golden for his exemplary work representing clients in Family Law matters in San Mateo and Santa Clara County. I have known Richard for almost ten years and was his opponent in a very difficult dissolution case in Redwood City. He is a seasoned professional whose legal judgment and poise in the courtroom have won the respect of both the judges he appears before and the attorneys who are his adversaries. Richard's ethical standards are at the highest level and it is obvious that his foremost concern is the promotion and protection of his client's interests. I would recommend him for anyone needing representation in a Family Law case, no matter how difficult or contentious."
