Rebecca E. Gulden (known by her friends, family, and clients as
“Becki”) joined Faiella & Gulden, P.A. as a summer associate
in 2014 and accepted her current position as an associate attorney in
2015. Since that time, Rebecca’s practice has been exclusively
focused on zealously advocating for victims of negligence in cases
involving medical malpractice, amusement park negligence, and
premises liability.
In 2019, Rebecca was
recognized as one of Orlando Style Magazine’s attorneys of the year
and was featured in the publication’s October issue alongside her
husband (Peter J. Gulden III, a Partner of the firm) and
mother-in-law (Elizabeth H. Faiella, the firm’s President). She
later received the honor of being voted by her peers as one of Super
Lawyers’ “Rising Stars” in both 2021 and 2022. Rebecca has also
helped the firm to achieve multiple jury verdicts and settlements in
excess of $1 million, including a $3 million verdict, a $3.29 million
verdict, and a $4 million verdict.
Rebecca received her
Doctor of Jurisprudence magna cum laude from the University of
Florida Frederic G. Levin College of Law in 2015, where she made a
name for herself through her academic achievements. There, she won
the Irving Cypen Freshman Scholastic Achievement Award (bestowed upon
the student achieving the highest GPA in her class by the end of the
first academic year). Next, she not only earned a place on the
school’s Moot Court Team but was also recognized as a Final Four
Competitor in the tryouts, earning her a place in the Zimmerman,
Kiser, Sutcliffe, Moot Court Final Four Competition, where she and
her partner won the award for Best Team. Upon graduating from law
school, she was inducted into the University of Florida’s chapter
of the prestigious Order of the Coif honorary society. By that time,
she had earned the distinction of having received 10 Book Awards
(awarded to the student who achieves the highest grade in a law
school course) – more than any other student in her graduating
class.
Prior to entering
law school, Rebecca received her Bachelor of Arts cum laude from the
University of Central Florida in 2012, majoring in philosophy and
minoring in women’s studies.
