Hired Attorney 2025Mr.Golden is very thorough and responsive. I reached out to many lawyers before we decided on him, because I was so impressed with his approach. I feel reassured knowing we will have his firm to guide us!

Hired Attorney 2025Mr. Golden assisted my sweet nieces at a difficult time. They have no parents, their grandparents who raised them after their parents passed away had just died as well. He has the highest peer review rating of AV by Martindale, as well as being among the top 5% of attorneys as a Super Lawyer so I felt very confident recommending him. Mr. Golden was compassionate and worked with them to accommodate their circumstances. Thank you so much.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
