Mr. Gold and his team helped me with my will and my girlfriend’s will, and they were great to work with. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. I was so happy with my experience that I reached out again about getting a will done for my parents. Mr. Gold let me know they don’t handle elder law, but he still took the time to point me in the right direction for finding a firm that does. I really appreciated that extra help. Overall, I’ve had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend Karp, Norwind, Gold & Karp, P.A. to anyone looking for a reliable attorney.

I retained Mr. Wigodsky to handle an injury case. I cannot put into words how happy I am with my results, but will try: when you need the best, this firm should be your first--and last--stop. Thank you so much for representing my best interests and advocating for me, when I couldn't fight for myself. I can finally start to put this behind me, and focus on the rest of my recovery. I hope I never get into another accident, but I would hire Mr. Wigodsky again if I did.
Lee Norwind and Lisa Riggins are hands down the best!!!!! Due to a pending seven figure civil lawsuit, I decided to acquire the services of Lee Norwind and Lisa Riggins, which today I can say was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a result of Lee Norwind and Lisa Riggins efforts, we were able to settle out of court for a small fraction of what the opposing counsel were requesting. This nightmare is over and I can finally move forward with my life. I would defiantly recommend

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.
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.
