Private client review on Leaderslist

He is like the go-to guy in asset protection. He's very good, he comes across very well, and knows his area backwards and forwards. He instills a lot of confidence in his clients; if they go to him they're usually worried about the future, and he can get through technical information and explain it to the client in a concise way.

Interviewee from Chambers HNW Guide 2018

He has a specialty in asset protection; he's really the go-to guy on that. He knows everything on that, and he's also very creative. He's very proactive - you know you never have to remind him to do something, he's on top of things, he's on time and he can deal with complicated issues for clients.

Interviewee from Chambers HNW Guide 2018

Perhaps I should say “ditto” as you are perennially recognized as a “Best Lawyer”. I am sure it is well deserved as we witnessed firsthand. Congratulations again.

Client Email September 2017

I did not realize I was working with a legal luminary! I mentioned casually to my tax accountant that I had signed up with you on creating a trust and she started to tell me how well known you were in NYC in your domain of specialization. Of course I was not aware of your reputation when I decided to work with you but I did feel I was working with someone knowledgeable based on my conversation with you. I am glad we are working together on something that is important for me.

Just a short note to let you know that I enjoyed utilizing your services on the 2 family estate planning projects as well as benefiting from your vast knowledge and experience with occasional dashes of humor to illustrate that not all lawyers are drab and dry.  Should another occasion arise that conforms with your area of expertise, I would be pleased to contact you. The same sentiments heartily apply to Kerrie [Horrocks] as well.

Client email October 2014

Some months ago I came to see you, not sure how to get myself out of a problem.  With your steady professional hand on the tiller you steered me across choppy waters to a successful conclusion.  You deserve my thanks and praise along with unbounded appreciation.

Excerpt from a client’s email to Gideon Rothschild

"As an author of books on similar subject matters and as an attorney certified by the State Bar of California in estate planning, trust and probate law, I applaud the Asset Protection Outline that Gideon Rothschild authored. In my opinion, it is the best and most comprehensive listing of the concepts and tactics of which I am aware."

F. Bentley Mooney, Jr. JD LLM (tax)

"I prefer Mr. Rothschild’s Asset Protection courses to those chaired by other faculty as they are better organized and generally have better quality faculty. I would sign up for another Asset Protection Planning update if Mr. Rothschild ran it."
