I hired him after my husband had a three year affair. He was recommended from an acquaintance. I was young, naive, and very vulnerable. He would yell at me, talk down to me, and even told me to shut up in front KC my soon to be ex and his lawyer. There were so many more things I could have gotten if I would have known what to ask for. But he was supposed to be my protector… not the case!

After a social worker friend referred me, I retained Howard Gold for my divorce and custody dispute. He was rude, made sexist and suggestive comments, came to court late (and charged me for the extra time since we were bumped to the back of the log) and charged me to give me information he’d already told me about. I later found out from two different women that they had similar experiences to mine. Think before you hairs this man!

I will be recommending Howard to any friends/family that are looking for a family law attorney. He helped me through a very difficult and confusing case and came out with a positive, fair outcome. He is professional and also understands the psychology behind family law. His paralegal, Matt, was so kind and understanding. He's incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, and attentive. They make a great team, and I felt confident being represented by Howard. I went from being upset and confused to empowered and confident about my case because of Howard and Matt. If you want an experienced attorney with not only the best legal relationships, but a paralegal that is absolutely the top of his field, hire Howard.

Howard helped me through my divorce and did all he could to get the best outcome! He fought for my case. Staff was highly responsive and organized.

From the consultation to the hiring process Mr. Gold and staff gave detailed information, listened to our complex case as well as our overall needs. Was very timely and organized. Mr. Gold supported us through the process and fought very hard for my teens needs during our custody modification case. He was also very good when speaking with my teen. Many thanks.

I hired him on our first meeting and he started working in my favor right away. He knows what he is doing and worked hard to handle my case. He was blunt when needed and always honest and upfront. His paralegal is amazing and made the process even easier. They are a great team together

I was referred to Howard Gold by a friend who retained him for her divorce. My initial phone consultation went well, and then I met him in person, and he was abrasive in his conversational style. Notwithstanding my initial impression, I proceeded to retain him based on my friend’s previous experience about Howard and my belief Howard would represent my best interests. Unfortunately, this was an erroneous belief on my part, in retrospect. I proceeded to pay him a $5,000 retainer, for which I was never given a line-item invoice with dates/hours for services rendered. Interestingly, my new attorney I hired after letting Howard go provides me with these invoices for services rendered. During the course of my engagement with Howard, I had a separate issue arise from the one I initially retained him for, and I contacted him about this issue. I expected his response to be something along the line of “Hey, let’s meet and discuss this and our strategy.” Instead he sent me an email that basically stated to send him another $5,000. I am not a legal scholar, so I have no objective yardstick to measure his knowledge of the law. Notwithstanding this, I think Howard knows the law. But when hiring a lawyer, understanding the law isn’t the only deciding factor. It’s important the person can engage in a meaningful conversation. I had one final meeting with Howard in person and he mistreated me. It was at that time I realized Howard and I were not a good fit, and we needed to part ways

Howard A. Gold was retained to represent our daughter in a horrific custody battle. He failed to file certain documents resulting in the case eventually being heard in a much less favorable venue at much greater cost to my daughter. This error could not be corrected after the fact. He did not point out and explain material long term negative consequences of certain clauses included in an arbitration agreement which my daughter did not fully understand.

I hired Mr. Gold in 2002 and again in 2017. My cases we always handled professionally and proficiently. In both cases I achieved my desired results!

Howard Gold represented me in a contempt case last year. He was thoughtful, considerate, and professional. He and his paralegal are an excellent team and they took very care of me. Well worth it.

I hired Howard Gold last year to help me with a nasty divorce and custody case. Howard Gold was exactly the attorney I needed. He went to bat for me and my child, my finances, and my future. It was refreshing to have an attorney who listened and understood the bottom line.

I was having difficulting with an ex-wife overturning my pro se divorce with the help of her attorney. After the overturning my divorce, I hired a passive attorney that was being railroaded by the other attorney. My ex-wife purposely never agreed to any court order or mediation, which cost me money, time away from the job and etc. After almost two years of back and forth, I used my last resources to hire Howard Gold Law. Howard entered into the case and almost instantly my ex-wife's attorney withdrew from the case. Howard immediately understood my case goals and went to work like a Jaguar. He cornered my ex-wife from stalling for so long and got me a divorce and saved me another $30,000 of debt, low child support payments and closure to one complex case. I thank Howard for an excellent Job! I recommend this law firm! I suggest for everyone going through a divorce to put the hurt and the painful emotions to the side if you want an effective divorce. Howard's Psychotherapy background allows for him to see in between the lines of your emotions. He kept me on point and driven to completion.
