I did quite a bit of research to learn this firm is unquestionably the best around. Sidney Gold had well-founded doubts about my uncommon and difficult case. It was small potatoes, as they say, but a major matter of principle to me. It actually surprised me when Mr. Gold accepted my case. I worked with his associate, Bill Reiser, who was very straight-forward and matter-of-fact about our chances. When it looked like the case was heading south, he made a very clever play — something of a Hail Mary– and not only did we win, but we came out much better than we expected. Bill is smart, savvy and honest. We didn’t always agree, but Bill still heard me out about strategy and took the time to discuss his rationale along the way. The various team members at Sidney Gold & Associates were extremely professional throughout the process. If you are lucky enough to win their representation, then you are in excellent hands. Trust that they will give you the finest possible representation. I am so very grateful that Mr. Gold took a chance on me and that Bill Reiser saw me through to a satisfying completion.
