PUBLISHED CASES OF MAJOR DISTINCTION 


Mr. Gold is admitted to practice in all New Jersey Courts as well as the 3rd Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States. He was lead defense counsel in State v. Foley, 370 N.J. Super. 341 (Law Div. 2004) the first case in the U.S. to restrict the use of the new “Alcotest 7110″ breath testing device used in drunk driving (i.e. DWI, DUI) cases.  

He then was called upon to represented the amicus (friend of the court) New Jersey State Bar Association in the landmark case State v Chun, 194 N.J. 54 (2008) where the N.J. Supreme Court placed many conditions on the use of the Alcotest as evidence in DWI cases.

The State Bar called on him once again in 2011 to be their amicus counsel before the Supreme Court in State v Ciancaglini, 204 N.J. 597 (2011) where, in accord with Mr. Gold's position,  the Court reversed the lower court's ruling that Refusal to take a breath test should be treated as a "prior" DWI for sentencing.

 

Mr. Gold also represented the CDS defendant in the successful appeal State v. Sparks, 261 NJ Super. 458 (App. Div. 1993) holding the State could not use a lab report  to prove drug defendant’s guilt without complete and strict adherence to the statutory procedure for doing so first.
