Attorney Lorne B. Gold founded his Bloomfield Hills law office, The Gold Law Firm PLLC in 2008, after gaining nearly 15 years of legal experience in Michigan.

Mr. Gold began his legal career in 1994 after earning his law degree from University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and his admission to the State Bar of Michigan. After law school, attorney Gold joined the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office, where he served as an assistant district attorney.
The six years he spent as a prosecutor prepared him well for when his family law cases require litigation. However, Mr. Gold is not only a trial attorney, but also a mediator who is ready to help his clients, regardless of the paths their cases take.

He has a "Superb" rating from Avvo, and he has received a Preeminent* peer review rating from Martindale-Hubbell. In addition, he is a fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, an honor only bestowed upon less than 1 percent of attorneys in the country.
Attorney Gold is an active member of the legal community. He is a regular guest speaker and published author. In addition, he is a member of a number of legal organizations, including the Oakland County Bar Association.
