Law Office of Irene S. Gold

"I would recommend Irene for assistance with a name change. Irene demonstrated clear expertise in the name change process, and their guidance was valuable in navigating the legal requirements. They were also professional and courteous in their interactions. However, there were times when I felt uninformed about the progress of my case, and updates were infrequent. Proactive communication, including estimated timelines and clear explanations of delays, would have greatly reduced my anxiety during this time. Ultimately, Irene delivered the desired result, and I am grateful for their legal services."

"I recently worked with Irene and i was impressed by her expertise and professionalism. She guided me through the complexities of creating a comprehensive estate plan and addressed my concerns and many questions with clarity. Her attention to detail and personalized approach made the process smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend their services for anyone."

"I recently went through a difficult divorce, and I hired Irene Gold Law to help me navigate this challenging process. I had high hopes that they would provide me with the necessary support and legal expertise to make this transition as smooth as possible. Unfortunately, my experience with this law firm was nothing short of a nightmare. From the very beginning, Irene and Jessica Hawley (associate) were incredibly slow to respond to my calls and emails. It felt like I was constantly chasing after them just to get a simple update on the status of my case. Whenever I tried to reach out to Jessica or Irene, I'd get a promise that they'd call me back, but it rarely happened. I'd have to follow up with them 3-4 times before they would even answer, resulting in unnecessary delays that extended the divorce process by weeks. Furthermore, Irene seemed to be on vacation more often than not. Her frequent absences further hindered progress on my case, making an already difficult situation even more frustrating. This lack of responsiveness left me feeling frustrated, anxious, and completely unsupported during an already emotionally taxing period in my life. Instead of guiding me through the legal aspects of my divorce and addressing my concerns, Irene and Jessica seemed disinterested and unwilling to invest the necessary time and effort into my case. Their lack of empathy and understanding only added to my stress and anxiety, making the entire process even more overwhelming. I had hoped that hiring a legal professional would alleviate some of the burdens that come with divorce, but Irene and team did the exact opposite. Instead of making things easier, they made my life even more difficult. We had to resubmit my case 3x because the firm kept making mistakes in the submission. I couldn't trust their work, and I constantly questioned whether they knew what they were doing. I strongly advise anyone going through a divorce or any legal activities to avoid Irene Gold Law at all costs. Their slow, non-responsive, and unhelpful approach only made an already painful experience that much worse on top of the mistakes they made. I hope that others can learn from my unfortunate experience and find a more reliable and compassionate law firm to guide them through and of your proceedings."

"I'd avoid this firm. For one thing, at least 1 of the "5 star reviews" on this page is from an existing employee, so that should say something. I had a call scheduled with Irene Gold and she didn't attend. Not only did she not attend, no one at the office let me know. We rescheduled twice and each time it was the same, no call no show and I had to chase the team down for a reschedule. Emails went unanswered, communication was poor. It was an underwhelming experience from start to finish. I'll be filing a complaint w/ the California State Bar, Better Business Bureau and taking my business and time elsewhere."

"I am incredibly grateful and impressed with Irene and her team's work. I had a 64 page document that needed to be reviewed within a very short time frame over the holidays and no other lawyers were taking it on. Irene took on the work very quickly and within a week was able to go through it with me, provide me with lots of guidance, and give me a ton of examples to work through and think about. She was promptly in touch with the other party's lawyer and was always available on short notice to meet and get things over the finish line. Irene helped me finish something that typically takes at least 3 months in just 3 short weeks. I truly don't know what I would have done without her. In addition, I felt that I had very strong representation and a very knowledgeable lawyer behind me. Irene has a ton of experience and she was able to negotiate a deal that was very fair for both parties. Afterwards she provided a very detailed and accurate fee breakdown. Overall I would recommend going to Irene first if you want something done quickly, fairly, and with great attention to detail!!"
