I was born and raised in Alaska. After high school I served in the United States Navy on active duty from 2000-2004. I was assigned to USS Comstock (LSD 45), where I completed three deployments overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was honorably discharged after completing my enlistment. After the military I attended New Mexico State University, graduating with Honors in 2007. I attended law school at the University of New Mexico School of Law in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I was an editor of the New Mexico Law Review and President of the Federalist Society. Throughout law school I worked at the law firm of Guebert Bruckner PC where I focused on defense side litigation. In 2011 I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where I worked as an insurance defense litigator before founding the  law firm of Connor & Connor PLLC with my wife and law partner, Amanda N. Connor Esq.

I am a trial attorney with extensive experience in taking cases from the initial pleading stage, through discovery and trial.  I have been in front of 15 juries---for 12 of those cases I was the lead attorney.  That experience has made me very effective and efficient in recognizing risks for litigation in many areas of the law.  I understand which discovery and trial preparation activities are a good investment of time and resources and I recognize the appropriate time to discuss settlement.  I have taken many personal injury defense matters to trial for companies such as AIG and Farmers and ranging from breach of contract to professional liability and many things in between.. I truly love being in the courtroom, but I also provide valuable risk assessment services related to the burgeoning medical marijuana industry.  Employers face new challenges in accomodation and medical marijuana establishments are learning how the product they sell can impact other industries, patients and even those who do not inentionally use the product.  It is a great time to be a lawyer in Southern Nevada!

As a co-founder of Anthem Injury Lawyers and a dedicated car accident attorney, Anthony B. Golden has devoted his career to helping individuals navigate the complexities of motor vehicle accident law with skill, compassion, and a personal touch. What sets Anthony apart is his firsthand experience. At just 16 years old, he was involved in a serious car crash that wasn’t his fault. He was driving alone, unable to call for help in the pre-cellphone era, and relied on a witness to contact emergency services. The crash totaled his mother’s car, and while he received some medical care, it wasn’t enough to fully treat the back injuries he sustained—injuries that continue to affect him decades later. His family didn’t seek legal guidance at the time, and they were left to manage the financial and emotional consequences on their own.. That experience shaped Anthony’s perspective and his approach to law. His deep personal understanding drives him to treat every client with genuine care, respect, and dedication. His client-centered approach, combined with extensive legal knowledge, has led to significant results, including recent settlements exceeding $10 million and $800,000. Earlier in his career, Anthony served as a judicial clerk to the Honorable Nancy A. Becker during her tenure as Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court. This experience provided him with valuable insight into the judicial process—knowledge he now uses to effectively advocate for his clients. Outside of his legal practice, Anthony is deeply committed to his family and community. He knows that a serious injury affects not just the individual, but their loved ones as well. This understanding fuels his commitment to helping clients recover and rebuild with confidence and support.
