Hired Attorney Lorne B. Gold

Lorne Gold came highly recommended by another local attorney, who vouched for Lorne as “the best divorce lawyer in Detroit.” During initial consultations, Mr. Gold spoke frankly and identified potential strategies, strengths, and weaknesses in my case. As a seasoned and experienced lawyer, Mr. Gold clearly understand the divorce process and anticipated and positions of the courts, as well as likely rebuttals and arguments from the opposing counsel. Subsequently watching Mr. Gold in action was a true work of art, as he was a masterful and diplomatic negotiator from beginning to end. In Machiavellian terms, Mr. Gold can be both the lion and fox in courtroom and when dealing with the opposing counsel! Mr. Gold negotiated a final settlement that was fair and exceeded all of my expectations, while simultaneously facilitating an amicable divorce and cordial relationship with my now ex-wife. Mr. Gold settled my entire case from beginning to end in about five-weeks.

Hired Attorney Lorne B. Gold

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lorne during a challenging time in my life—my divorce. From the very beginning, it was clear that I was in capable hands. Lorne's expertise and professionalism truly set him apart. What I appreciated most was his availability; Lorne was always reachable, ready to address my concerns, and guide me through the complexities of the process. His communication skills made me feel heard and supported, which is crucial during such a trying time. More impressively, he went above and beyond to ensure that I received the outcome I hoped for, all while navigating the proceedings in the quickest way possible. His dedication to his clients is clear, and it played a significant role in easing my stress during this life transition. I highly recommend Lorne and his team! If you find yourself in need of competent support during a divorce, look no further—Lorne is the professional you want by your side.

Lorne is a very easy attorney to work with. He understood my needs as a client and worked to complete my divorce without creating unnecessary turmoil and additional costs. He is very fair and works very hard for his clients to make sure that they are treated equitably by the courts. I strongly recommend Lorne Gold and The Gold Law Firm.

I have been working with Lorne for years with custody matters since my divorce where I was represented by Lorne's father who did an amazing job. Lorne gives great practical advice and advocates for me and for my children.

Hired Attorney Lorne B. Gold

The overall service I got from Lorne was excellent and I have no complaints. What I prized most about him, though, was his ability to express his opinion on my case, and explain the law/my rights, while also respecting my decisions and feelings. In a divorce proceeding, which is such a sensitive thing, I believe this to be an invaluable quality in a lawyer. Knowing he had my back in such a way made a very difficult time more tolerable.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
