Alan J. Gould

Alan J. Gould, Esq

IN MEMORIUM

Mr. Gould’s career began in Washington, D.C. with a position inside the Government Contractor Corporation, TRW. This position grounded him in the process of negotiating contracts with federal government agencies. Mr. Gould continued to represent small and large corporations in their relationship with various federal agencies over the performance of government contracts. Eventually, Mr. Gould became the primary contract and licensing attorney for a major Silicon Valley corporation and further transitioned to California State administrative law when he partnered with Robert Hahn to form the Law Office of Gould & Hahn.

Mr. Gould, a United States Army veteran, passionately provided pro bono services to veterans in reference to their claims for benefits with the Veterans Administration. He was licensed to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and appeared in the U.S. District Courts in Washington, DC and San Francisco on behalf of Philippine Veterans of World War II. During his lengthy career, he conducted extensive research into the status of documentation on which such claims are consistently being denied and has made his research available to senators and congressional representatives addressing the injustices experienced by these veterans. He remained a zealous advocate for all veterans throughout his career and into retirement.

In addition to his professional success, Mr. Gould was also an accomplished wildlife photographer and author and enjoyed traveling the globe in hopes of preserving the beauty of our world in action.
