Sarah is a pro-active problem solver with great people skills. She has an analytic mind and brings creative solutions to the table. She is also an incredible researcher and finds legal arguments on point very very quickly. On a personal level, she has a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to work with.

Sarah is excellent in every way. Helpful, trustworthy, nice, great attitude, patient, and knowledgeable too. I'd have no hesitation at all in hiring Sarah or sending my friends and family to her. She's a rarity: a lawyer who makes up for those out there who give lawyers a bad name. I wish there were more like her.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Sarah Gold for any and all people seeking legal advice on a range of different topics, as well as for any and all attorneys who are looking to expand their contacts. Sarah is a remarkably knowledgeable and thorough attorney who is most dedicated to answering questions, giving legal advice, and advocating for her clients in a truly comprehensive manner. What's more, Sarah is such a kind, friendly and principled person who is so eager to help people in any way that she can, obviously deriving great personal satisfaction when her advice and/or recommendations benefit those she counsels. It is without any reservation and it is with full confidence that I recommend Sarah Gold for those people with any of a host of different legal questions and for those attorneys and other law practice professionals who wish to add, to their list of contacts, a most ethical, hard-working, eager to help, and thoughtful colleague.
