Dear Mr. Gold, We would like to express our extreme gratitude to you for the topnotch, insightful, compassionate and highly professional legal services you recently provided to us during our resolution of a critical and pressing legal matter. There is nothing more important than finding an expert legal advocate to guide and assist when negotiating a situation involving something as sensitive as sexual harassment by a University professor. As lawyers ourselves, we performed much research prior to selecting you, an expert in this field, to provide us with legal consult and services. You came to us highly recommended, from numerous sources. Your reputation within the legal community precedes you as being the most accomplished and talented Plaintiff’s (victims) discrimination lawyer in Philadelphia, one who has vast expertise in the area of sexual harassment litigations and/or negotiations, who will pursue representation/advisement of a legal matter in a way that benefits your client the most in reaching his/her personal goals. We had been advised that you are a talented and masterful legal bull dog, one who will not quit in fighting for the rights of your clients, be it through reaching a negotiated settlement or bringing a case to trial. Our own personal experience with you supports every recommendation that we had received about you. It is all true. Thank you for reworking your own schedule to provide us with an initial consult, when you became aware that time was of the essence. You provided us with your (and your Associate’s) undivided attention for a lengthy initial consultation, while hearing the story, validating claims from a legal standpoint and providing us with your initial recommendations on how best to proceed. Being lawyers ourselves, we know the value of your time, and know that this is not the level of service most lawyers provide in an initial consult. We also know the great value of a shrewd, brilliant lawyer, who is top in his field and on top of his game as a fierce adversary. Another critical piece to the puzzle, that we soon learned about you, is that you care so incredibly much about fighting on behalf of an individual that you feel has been wronged, the underdog, and are very passionate about making a victim feel affirmed and heard, and a University (or a company) accountable in the case where you determine that Federal laws have been breached and a legal cause of action exists. You also have vast experience handling sensitive legal issues with the discretion and care required. Equally important is your ability to assess the overall picture from a legal standpoint, and to file a lawsuit on a behalf of a client or encourage trying to first reach a negotiated settlement, if, and only if, you feel that it might be in the best interest of the individual involved. You have shown us personally that you are not about the money, you are about providing the best legal advice and service. You are about helping someone who has legitimately been wronged. You are an awesome person and top legal advocate, Mr. Gold. We are so thankful that we have you in our legal corner moving forward. Sincerely Yours, Choosing Anonymity due to sensitive nature of this existing claim

Sidney L. Gold and Associates is an outstanding Employment Law firm. They are consistently ranked as the best Employment Law Firm in Pennsylvania, and Mr. Gold is consistently honored as a Super Lawyer. These accolades are well deserved, for many reasons, as I discovered first-hand in my case. First, they provided me with a free and thorough initial consultation. This is their standard practice. Many other firms demanded upwards of $500 for an initial consultation, with no assurance that they would even accept me as a client. You can count on Sidney L. Gold and Associates to give you a free HONEST and REALISTIC assessment of your situation. If your chances of prevailing are actually very low, this will be explained to you. (Some firms, badly in need of clients, seem to be willing to take any case regardless of the merits. The LAST THING you want to do is pay legal fees in a case where you actually stand little or no chance of winning. See Sidney L. Gold and Associates first and you will not have to worry about this happening. I suspect that most of the unfavorable reviews on this site are from people who were told the truth regarding their situation and their realistic options, and that this was not what they wanted to hear.) Once I became their client, Sidney L. Gold and Associates took the time to really listen and understand my situation. Some other firms either concluded prematurely that I was wasting my time, while others suggested some immediate course of action before even considering many of the relevant details of my situation. (The devil is in the details, as they say!) In due course, working together, a realistic strategy was developed. If your situation has a chance of being resolved favorably, Sidney L. Gold and Associates is the law firm that can succeed, even in complicated situations that other firms are not capable of handling. As events in my case unfolded, Mr. Gold and Associates worked diligently on my behalf, and made sure that they thoroughly understood my somewhat unusual and complex situation. They stayed on top of my situation and adapted their approach as events progressed. All parties involved obtained a clear understanding of the situation, and of the reasonable options available. All parties could evaluate the matter from fully informed points-of view. In the end, a just and fair solution was reached in a professional manner that was acceptable to all. This result has afforded me the opportunity to prepare for a new professional career (now progressing successfully) without having to face the undue financial hardships that would have occurred had I "gone it alone", or hired the wrong law firm. The experience, knowledge and client dedication of Mr. Gold and his firm made it possible for me to make a new start in life. Seeking the best legal representation possible in employment matters is one of the best decisions a person could ever make, and Sidney L. Gold and Associates are the best.

They have all this talk on their site as to helping in matters of harassment in the workplace but are absolutely no help in even listening to your employment problem in having a senior citizen employee intimidated and having to leave a place of employment for simply reporting on an incident that took it own life and the said employee who was under doctors treatment put in after incident in a toxic and unhealthy envirnoment where he had to either leave or perhaps fall out sick on the property..but this involved Sugarhouse casino and it seems every lawyer firm seem to not want to go up against them or in their back pocket. I did not get even the dignity of a consultation.

I had an employment discrimination experience regarding a preexisting condition that was exacerbated by overtime. The employer laid me off and then terminated me. After successful litigation by Sidney Gold and associates I won my case. I am a physician and since we have no union representation in these matters, having a well- experienced and assertive attorney helped me have a satisfactory outcome. I highly recommend Sidney Gold and associates for your legal matters. Dr. Paula Patton

I recommend Sydney Gold and Assoc as representation for employee discrimination. I worked with attorney Valerie Weisman. She was very knowledgeable about my case and very accessible (responded to emails right away). She took my case seriously and I would hate to go up against her in court! You definitely want these guys on your side!

When I faced age discrimination at work, I spoke to Joan Gold, who provided excellent and reassuring advice. The E.E.O.C. mediated an out of court settlement that was fair. Even though I did not use an attorney, I would not have been able to proceed without the wise counsel from this attorney and law firm.

They are not much help at all. They do not call you and update...they do not push your case. They ignore your phone calls...etc. They are only concerned with non government tort cases. Waste of time.

Kyieshia Johnson

I called for a free Consultation, and the whole time the lawyer argued with e about what i should have done to avoid this matter. I would never recommend anyone to go to them.

Ashley Fusetti

Helpful throughout the entire process. Kept in constant contact and helped me through the mediation process.
