About Jerry Goldstein

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I received a B.S. degree in 1966 from The University of California Berkeley, and a J.D (Doctor of Law) in 1974 from the University of San Francisco School of Law in San Francisco, California after serving for over four years as a Captain in the United States Air Force. Initially, I worked as an associate with a medium-sized but highly prestigious law firm in San Francisco, California, before joining a small firm as a partner.

From 1980 until 1982 I served as an associate with a large corporate law firm in Los Angeles, California, before leaving to focus on managing a boutique winery in Napa, California which an associate and I had formed in 1979 prior to selling a publicly traded winery in 1986, and subsequently at a restaurant and brewery in Los Angeles, California, established in 1990. In 1992, after an earthquake closed the business, I left to open my own solo practice in Los Angeles, California, before opening an office in Orange County, California, in 1996, and subsequently moving to and opening an office in Palm Desert, where I remain to this day. Although situated in the Coachella Valley of California, I have and continue to represent business clients in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Francisco, and Alameda Counties in California as well as business clients in Arizona, Texas, Florida and New Jersey.
