Mr. Golden was recognized by the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Section of the State Bar Association for his contribution and achievements in the practice of Workers’ Compensation.

Mr. Golden is a 1962 graduate of the University of Florida and received his law degree from the University of Florida in 1965. Mr. Golden is admitted to practice in New Jersey and Florida.

Mr. Golden started his career in January of 1966 with the law firm of Wharton, Stewart & Davis in Somerville, New Jersey practicing criminal and civil litigation. He represented such clients as Johns-Manville in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Courts. He was then appointed by Governor Hughes as an Assistant County Prosecutor. In late 1968, he joined the predecessor of Golden Rothschild. Mr. Golden did an extensive amount of civil litigation until the early 1980's at which time he devoted his practice exclusively to Workers’ Compensation. Mr. Golden represents employers, insurance carriers, third party administrators and self-insureds in the defense of Workers’ Compensation claims. He has handled many appeals and enjoys Appellate work. Of important note is Mr. Golden’s defense in Tlumac v. High Bridge Stone, 187 N.J. 567 (S.Ct. 2006), in which he attempted to breathe some common sense and life into the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation intoxication defense. Mr. Golden handled the trial and the appeal of this matter. Mr. Golden then obtained a grant of Certiorari from the New Jersey Supreme Court. There are two Bills currently pending in the legislature to accomplish the changes to the law sought by Mr. Golden in his appeal.

Mr. Golden has a distinguished career as an attorney and we congratulate him on this impressive achievement.
