Alan S. Gold has been practising law since 1978.  Throughout the past 27 years, he has developed a sterling reputation among client and peers, earning the highest rating possible in the Martindale-Hubbell National Law Directory.

A Phi Beta Kappa student who graduated magna cum laude from Dickenson College in 1973, Alan earned his alw degree from the University of Virginia Law School in 1976, and served a two-year clerkship with U.S. District Judge Malcolm Muir.  Early in his career, Alan handled commercial litigation and insurance defense along with hundreds of plaintiff's personal injury cases.

By the late-1980's, Alan's practice had expanded to include defense of casualty loss, premesis and general liability claims, RICO and Section 1983 claims, and insurance coverage litigation.  He has also litigated hundreds of tort cases falling outside the professional liability sphere, including scores of defamation, invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fraud and abuse claims.

Prior to the founding of Gold, Butkovitz & Robins, P.C. in 2001, Alan was a founding partner in the former firm of Monaghan & Gold, P.C. for over ten years, where he both litigated and supervised hundreds of defense cases running the gamut from personal injury and professional liability claims (including medical, psychiatric, podiatric, ophthalmologic and legal malpractice), premesis liability and products liability, to insurance coverage and defense, dram shop liability and general defense litigation, to civil rights, employment law (including discrimination and harassment-related claims), corporate and D&O (directors and officers) liability, and general commercial litigation.

Over the years, Alan has also developed extensive appellate experience, both defending successful verdicts, and accepting numerous assignments as outside appellate counsel.  Alan has argued successfully in every federal and state appellate court in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including the both states' highest courts, as well as the Third Circuit.
