TLD Law is proud to announce that four of our attorneys have been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, honoring their work across Family Law, Trusts and Estates, and Litigation – Trusts and Estates.
What makes Best Lawyers recognition especially meaningful is how it is earned. For more than four decades, Best Lawyers has relied on its Purely Peer Review® methodology to identify attorneys whose work has earned the confidence and respect of other leading lawyers in their fields.
The process begins with nominations, followed by confidential evaluations from currently recognized attorneys who assess the professional abilities of their peers within the same practice area and geographic region. Best Lawyers analyzes that feedback and conducts an eligibility review before determining its final selections.
With approximately 5% of practicing attorneys in the United States receiving Best Lawyers recognition, inclusion represents a significant distinction within the legal profession.
For 2027, we are pleased to celebrate four TLD Law attorneys who have earned that recognition.
Daniel R. Gold — Family Law
Recognized by Best Lawyers since 2021, Daniel brings more than three decades of experience to his family law practice. His ability to combine strategic advocacy with practical perspective also inspired his book, The Divorce Quarterback, which helps readers make sense of the legal and personal complexities of divorce in California.
Monica Goel — Trusts and Estates; Litigation – Trusts and Estates
Managing Partner Monica Goel has been recognized by Best Lawyers since 2024. A Certified Legal Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law, Monica has more than 23 years of experience and is particularly skilled at finding a path forward in complicated trust, estate, probate, and conservatorship matters.
Jennifer Lumsdaine — Litigation – Trusts and Estates
A Best Lawyers honoree since 2020, Jennifer brings a seasoned litigator’s perspective to complex trust and probate disputes. Her experience handling fiduciary claims, Will and Trust contests, and other contested matters also helps her advise clients on ways to anticipate risks and prevent disputes before they escalate.
Brian Ramsey — Litigation – Trusts and Estates
Recognized by Best Lawyers since 2024, Brian focuses on probate litigation involving Will and Trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty claims, and contested conservatorships. He is committed to helping clients move through difficult disputes with a clear strategy, whether the path leads to negotiation, mediation, or trial.
Lauren Doyle – Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law, and Trusts and Estates
Lauren’s practice sits at the intersection of business, family, and legacy planning. As a second-generation business and estate planning attorney, she advises families and business owners on everything from estate and tax planning to trust administration, business succession, and the transfer of assets between generations.
While their practices and experiences are distinct, Daniel, Monica, Jennifer, and Brian share a commitment to skilled advocacy, thoughtful counsel, and serving clients through matters that are often deeply personal and complex.
Being recognized by fellow attorneys makes this distinction particularly special, and we are proud to see four members of the TLD Law team included among The Best Lawyers in America® for 2027.
Please join us in congratulating Daniel Gold, Monica Goel, Jennifer Lumsdaine, and Brian Ramsey on this well-earned recognition.
