Two weeks prior to her 21st birthday, my daughter made the very poor choice of driving a friends car with 3 other passengers after they had all been drinking and the group decided that my daughter was the least intoxicated. As my daughter was driving in an unfamiliar town, the group was shouting out directions to her and told her to make a left at the last minute, she changed lanes and was pulled over. Unfortunately, this happened by some accounts, in THE toughest jurisdiction in the state of California. After spending the night in jail, my daughter came home beyond devastated and relayed what had happened. We called a family friend who is a respected Prosecutor and immediately Attorney Jeffrey Gold's name came up as someone the Prosecutor does not like to go up against and she highly recommended him to us. We called his office right away and left a message ~ it was Memorial Day and we prepared to get a return phone call from his office the next business day but within about 5 minutes, Mr. Gold called us from his own family gathering. He excused himself from his family to help my family and his professionalism continued all the way through from start to finish of our horrific ordeal. Of course we are beyond grateful that no one was hurt but nonetheless it has still been a most devastating set of circumstances for our family to endure especially my daughter. As it turned out, the court took close to 12 months to file the case which only extended the mental anguish of not knowing what the outcome would be. During the 12 months of waiting, Mr. Gold called weekly to give us updates about the filing as well as to ask about AA meetings that he strongly encouraged my daughter to attend. Those meetings set her apart from others with similar charges at her court appearance as Mr. Gold stayed and fought hard for her for virtually an entire business day resulting in the most favorable outcome possible in that jurisdiction leaving other attorney's present in court upset that Mr. Gold prevailed in such a positive way.
