I have known & worked with Geoff for over 25 yrs with him either advising me on legal matters or him going to battle for me personally or for my companies to protect our interests. there is no one else I rather have in my team when it comes to legal matters.
Geoff is a very knowledgeable and hard-driving attorney. He's a fighter and a winner. He has helped our family successfully resolve tricky cases. Definitely a great person to have on your side if you have to litigate.
Geoff Gold is amazing, He settled my case and saved me tons of time, money and emotional stress!!
Geoff is our go-to litigator. He's super sharp and does a great job at reasonable rates. Highly recommend him!
I very rarely write these but in special cases I make an exception. I'm an ex-lawyer and I'd like to believe I know quality legal services when I find them. Not only is Geoff an excellent lawyer with a command of the law, he is also a fine strategist and counselor. Although he's primarily a litigator, he kept us out of that rut. Geoff gave excellent advice and always kept perspective. I would highly recommend him in helping to resolve a dispute.
i could not have referred a better attorney to my client to handle a dispute on a commercial real estate transaction.
I have referred clients to Geoffrey on complicated litigation matters and I trust him to handle these matters in a diligent and competent matter. I will continue to make these referrals.
We just finished a trial with Geoffrey Gold representing another defendant. Geoff is a very good trial lawyer. He understands the law and knows how to argue it. He makes the case very clear to the jury. He is very experienced and it was a pleasure to see him in action. I highly recommend Geoff as a trial lawyer.
Geoff demonstrates all the qualities you want in a business litigator. He is personable, diligent, hardworking, detail oriented, responsive, knowledgeable, creative, articulate, assertive, and he is a tough negotiator. I am a long time California lawyer with a fair amount of business litigation experience myself. When my commercial landlord clients ran into what looked like it would be a very difficult breach of lease case it was important to engage someone with significant experience who knew his way around the LA Superior Court and had handled similar commercial lease problems. I was recommended to Geoff by a lawyer in another firm. My clients were very pleased with Geoff's approach to their problem and engaged his services. Geoff brought in excellent expert witnesses and was adept at dealing with opposing counsel. I was involved in the case as an intermediary helping lawyer and clients communicate with one another. The case was fully prepared for trial and was settled two days after the initial trial date on the proverbial courthouse steps. I can happily recommend Geoffrey Gold.
I have very much appreciated Geoff's efforts to guide me towards decisions that are based on what is best in terms of business and everyday practicalities, rather then insisting on advocating to prove how "right" we are where this is no beneficial outcome for doing so.
Geoffrey is highly responsive and sensitive to our needs. Geoffrey's number one concern is the success of the client, and he will go to extraordinary lengths to deliver high-quality work in a timely manner. Geoffrey's passion and energy for his work are unmatched.
I have engaged Geoffrey several times. I have then referred him repeatedly to several other individuals as I know they would be in fantastic hands with Geoffrey. He gets results and knows his stuff and is not one of those attorneys who will over bill. He will tell you honestly if you have a case worth pursuing and may even tell you to quickly settle rather than being concerned over his fees. He is fantastic.
Geoff and I met as students at the University of Rochester. With his big smile and generously offered points of view, I immediately recognized him as a leader who was able to bring out the best in those around him. I chose the school mostly for what it could offer me. What I didn't expect was to meet a guy like Geoff whose intellectual curiosity, positive attitude and unyielding determination would set such a lasting example. I am proud to call him my friend.
Geoff was (and is) a a great student, scholar, and friend.
Geoff is the most special of lawyers--he gets great results for a fair fee, and is completely straightforward--you can understand what he says! An all-around superb commercial litigator.
Geoff is an aggressive, efficient and effective litigator with experience and knowledge in many different areas to help clients achieve favorable outcomes. He is a zealous advocate for his client while remaining open to favorable settlements or win-win solutions whenever possible. Geoff is tough and outcome-oriented. He takes emotion out of the legal process, maintains his cool under pressure and stays focused on protecting clients' interests. He also keeps his clients fully informed of developments at every step, makes himself available, and works jointly with them to create efficient and effective strategies that are tailored to each client's specific needs and controls costs at the same time. Geoff is a trusted attorney with highest integrity; he is very good at what he does. I heartily recommend him.
Geoff is always available with timely and relevant advise on many matters. His knowledge is seemingly endless when it comes to resolving issues between people that do not get along. I go to Geoff first on all legal matters and he always puts me on track.
In the heat of any battle, you want Geoff on your side!
Geoffrey is a fantastic lawyer. I strongly recommend him for business legal needs, both transactions and litigation.
I have worked with many lawyers during my career, and the first two question I ask a lawyer before I hire them are always the same: 1. How long will it take to return my phone call? 2. Will you care about my case and will i receive your attention on the legal issue we are working on? My experiences with Geoff Gold is he cares about your legal problem, returns your phone call promptly, actually he answers the phone and he is attorney who works on your case. If the case evolves into another area outside his legal expertise, he will immediately inform you and assist with retaining additional counsel inside or outside of his firm. Geoff, does not abandon you when the case evolves he become the caretaker for your matter, insuring continued excellent representation and that your matter receives the attention it deserves. The most recent case i had with Geoff, was a business matter, that should have taken several years and $100,000's of thousand of dollars to resolve, due to Geoff's great legal advise and strategy it will be resolved in our favor in less than 6 months. Great Attorneys are hard to find, and Geoff is a Great Attorney that will work efficiently and effectively towards the favorable resolution of your case.
Geoff took over a case we had been struggling with for over 18-months and did such an amazing job in the deposition the other side was suddenly willing to come to the table. Geoff handled the negotiation for us and brought it to a successful conclusion. I'm glad he was on our side and not theirs. He gets my highest recommendation.

As a forensic accountant for 30 years, I have worked with hundreds of litigators and found Mr. Geoff Gold to be a particularly highly skilled litigator. Overall I have worked with Mr. Gold on a number of business litigation cases and I have found him to be quite capable and sharp when dealing with highly complex financial issues. He is also a very persistent litigator. In one case involving financial fraud, Mr. Gold took the extra step in subpoenaing certain financial records that turned out to be significant in proving that defendant perpetrated the alleged fraud. Mr. Gold's persistence in discovery paid off as the judge found that the defendant did in fact commit fraud. In another matter involving a real estate development company, Mr. Gold's client alleged that his partner mislead him when he agreed to the sale of his interest in the company (real estate). In this case, Mr. Gold was very active in dissecting and uncovering various layers of financial transactions that clearly demonstrated defendant's fraudulent manipulation of financial records. I was also impressed with Mr. Gold's demeanor in high stressed situations. Both in court and in depositions, he kept his cool, stayed the course, and did not allow anything to impede his clear and well balanced thinking. What makes Mr. Gold particularly effective in business litigation is his ability to digest significant amount of detail and complex financial information and subsequently when the occasion arises, retrieve relevant elements of that data. This particular skill makes it difficult for the opposing side to take confusing and misleading positions.
Geoffrey handled a real estate contractual dispute for my family about five years ago. He was thoroughly professional, and we ended up with a satisfactory result. As the issue was urgent, he jumped in with little advance notice. His legal work required getting up to speed with the issues at hand, and some very intensive negotiations over a few days. He correctly evaluated the situation, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of our position, and helped us take a more realistic posture. He handled the negotiations, which were very intense over a short period of days, and made himself available to discuss the issues at our convenience during off hours. Utimately, he provided us valuable consultation, and negotiated a resolution which resulted in a much better outcome than had we tried to resolve the dispute on our own. I can completely recommend Geoffrey.
Geoff is the consumate professional. He is knowlegable, thorough and ethical. Geoff's expertise in complex real estate transactions has saved us more than once. We will continue to refer Geoff to our clients and use his services personally as well.
I hired Geoff to represent me in a case against the builder of my condo development. Geoff was very upfront and honest about the fact that the case would be a challenge to get a positive outcome even though the facts were clearly on my side. We were facing a developer who was basically MIA and an insurance company that was stonewalling at every opportunity. Geoff was a relentless advocate and even though it took almost 18 months, he stuck to the strategy we had laid out when we first spoke. In the end, his efforts won out and I received a nice sized settlement from the insurance company. I highly recommend him. He's honest, he's an excellent negotiator, and overall just a top notch attorney.
I am an attorney, licensed to practice law in the state of California. Not only would I recommend Geoffrey Gold, but Geof had been recommended to me by a fellow attorney who had opposed Geof in a legal hearing. When I asked my friend why he was recommending Geof instead of agreeing to take on the assignment himself, my friend said, "because I was very impressed with Geof, and frankly, he was the better attorney." After over 6 years of working with Geof, my friend and fellow attorney was right, Geof is an excellent attorney. And I would not hesitate to recommend him and/or to hire him myself.
When you refer a client to Geoff to handle a matter within his area of expertise, both you and your client will be extremely pleased with the way he handles it and the result he obtains.
Lawyers often tell their spouses: "If I'm ever in deep trouble, call XX." Geoff is one of those guys.
Geoff is an extremely conscientious and detrmined litigator who is dedicated to getting the very best results for his client. He throws himself into his client's matters with intellect and energy, but he is also very cost conscious so that his client is never over-spending on projects. I highly recommend him.
Geoff is a practical and seasoned litigator who understands how to achieve his clients' goals. He understands the balance between forceful advocacy and strategic negotiation. Geoff's practice covers a variety of industries which adds tremendous value for his clients. I would highly recommend Geoff to anyone who needs litigation counsel.
I have worked with Geoff in my role as mediator on several cases involving difficult and complex partnership issues in the context of dissolution or buy-outs among partners. Geoff has been a zealous and effective advocate for his clients and their concerns, while remaining open to creative ideas for resolution in his clients' best interests. I would recommend Geoff highly as a lawyer for handling any such matter.

Geoffrey Gold handled my case with extreme care and attention to detail. He was appropriately aggressive in dealing with difficult people and always did what it took to protect my interests. I was extremely pleased with the results of his work. I would recommend Mr. Gold if you need an aggressive attorney for a case that may end up it courtroom litigation. He is also fair in his billing.
Geoff quickly and artfully resolved a protracted litigation matter for my family. When the process around our law suit began to cause us great agita, we asked Geoff to step in on our behalf. Within weeks the matter was completely resolved, and we were able to move on from it. I trust Geoff's counsel, and he is the attorney that I will always reach out to in order to resolve any contentious and/or complicated dispute(s).
Geoff represented me in an arbitration concerning disagreements about dissolution of a medical partnership and a medical corporation. This was a very complicated dissolution and he handled the case exceptionally well. He was able to clearly understand the multiple inter-related business entities pre-existing the dissolution and the personalities of the contestants, as well as to present the information logically and truthfully to the arbitrator. As a result of his legal representation, a fair and equitable settlement was achieved.
I have hired Jeff to deal with various legal matters and I have been very satisfied with the results. I continue to retain Jeff and recommend him to friends where possible.

Geoffrey has helped me with multiple real estate needs including a contested specific performance case that ended in my favor.

I have referred him to many collegues and their results have also surpassed their expectations.

You want Geoff on your side at the bargaining table. He is motivated, hard working and takes your call when you need him most.
Geoff is an incredible litigator. We have worked together representing a number of different individual and corporate clients. What strikes me most about Geoff is the completeness of the package you get when you work with him: he's incredibly creative in conceptualizing and strategizing all aspects of a case from its inception to conclusion, he's detail oriented, he's forceful but reasonable and purposeful, and projects an air of being capable of taking a case all the way if he needs to (which he can). He's simply a top rate, A+ lawyer who's an asset to anyone who works with him. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Geoff handled a minor litigation in a quick, low cost, and efficient manner. Well done.
Geoff obtained an almost complete arbitrated victory representing my firm against a slime ball lawyer who refused to pay his litigation support fees. Geoff converted the arbitration award to a judgment which he successfully defended thru appeal. We are now in the process of trying to convert the judgment to cash.
Geoffrey was a pleasure to work with and was able to achieve the results we hoped for in each of the situations he helped us with.
If you need an amazing attorney that you can trust and achieve an excellent result than look no further than Mr. Geoffrey Gold. Recently, Mr. Gold helped me to obtain the settlement I wanted and we were able to avoid trial. It was the other party that came forward to settle at my demand and without a doubt, Mr. Gold's no-nonsense manner coupled with his extensive knowledge helped move this to a settlement faster. He was always aware of my costs and always included me in these decisions. He is professional, experienced and someone you definately want on YOUR side. I recommend him without reservation.
In conjunction with a real estate matter set for trial in 60 days, my client retained Geoff to work with my firm to spear head all of the last minute preparation for trial and to take the matter to trial. We were up against an international firm that was playing out all of the litigation tricks to delay and interfere with the orderly preparation for trial. Geoff brought a team of experts together and orchestrated an offense that resulted in a settlement within four weeks of his engagement. The results were excellent and the clients were very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Geoff and his firm.
Geoff Gold is more than a very competent attorney. He is a collaborator and savvy strategizer who keeps his client informed in all stages. In working with him for over a year on a complex legal matter, I came to appreciate his ability to effectively anticipate the oppossing counsel and effectively defeat their actions in numerous judicial proceedings. Such representation caused the other side to retreat and settle to my complete satisfaction before a pending trial.
Geoff has been hired by myself, family members and friends on numerous occasions. He has never let any of us down. He is very professional and handles all aspect of legal issues with excellence. Extremely highly recommended.

Geoff Gold and I have worked as co-counsel in lawsuits where we represented different clients whose interests were generally alligned. He is a talented business trial lawyer and rates my high recommendation.
Geoff provided my company with great advice during a contract dispute that ended in litigation. Geoff was able to quickly grasp the key issues between the parties, and to help advise us as to the best way to get the situation resolved in the most expedient and cost-effective manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend Geoff to anyone looking for legal representation for litigation matters.
I used Geoff to resolve an employment litigation matter and was impressed with his knowledge of the field, creativity and result.
I have known Geoff for more than 40 years. Since 1993, he has advised me on a variety of legal matters. I always found him to be patient, articulate and wise. I highly recommend him. And this recommendation has nothing to do with the fact that he is my brother.
I have worked with Geoff on numerous occasions, and have always left with a better then expected result. He has been very dilligent, courteous and pretty agressive at times. His approach to take emotions out of the proceedings and get us all down to the letter of the law has saved us time, immense amount of anguish and a lot of money. Will continue using him and his firm as the need arises
