Former Senior California Court Commissioner, Jack J. Gold, has joined the LibertyBell Law Group team of criminal defense attorneys. After 26 years in the Criminal and Juvenile Departments of the largest criminal court in the country, Mr. Gold has come away with a library of knowledge and wisdom in the art of criminal defense.

Mr. Gold also handled the famous "film pirate cases" wherein his clients were being criminally charged with intellectual property theft and copyright infringement in Federal Court. His handling of the case resulted in a dismissal on all counts for his client.

In 1982, Mr. Gold was appointed to the Superior Court as a Commissioner and was immediately assigned to preside over Juvenile Court matters. Over the course of his 26 years ruling on cases he has heard in excess of 40 cases a day.
