Our family-owned manufacturing company faced a complex transition as my father prepared to retire. We needed an attorney who understood both the legal intricacies of a closely held business and the delicate family dynamics involved. Michael Golden was recommended to us, and his counsel proved invaluable. His recognition in Corporate Law and his specific expertise with family businesses were immediately apparent. He guided us through structuring a fair buyout, updating our operating agreement, and establishing a clear governance framework for the next generation. Michael was thoughtful, patient in explaining our options, and always steered us toward practical, long-term solutions. His background in arbitration was also a subtle asset, helping us navigate internal disagreements constructively. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, response times from his assistant could lag a day or two, but Michael himself was always thoroughly prepared for our meetings. We successfully completed the transition with confidence, thanks to his steady hand.
