Goldberg Legal are the top of their game! They are extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
Steve Goldberg takes a "back-to-basics" approach to every case. Even with his advanced knowledge of an area of law like medical malpractice or products liability, he approaches with a "beginner's mind," an open-minded approach which, despite its name, allows him to frame and communicate complex concepts in a way that is understandable and compelling to his audience. The audience, of course, might be a mediator, opposing counsel, his client, the judge, or a jury. As he does with his medical malpractice cases, Steve has hands-on knowledge of every file, and every file is meticulously organized. With his crack paralegal Christina, Steven is able to handle the most complex cases with agility and finesse.

Thomas Bailey
Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs
Steve Goldberg is a first-rate TRIAL LAWYER who KNOWS medicine. It's second nature to him. I've seen him work up medical malpractice cases from initial screening and intake to verdict, so I am intimately familiar with his process and organization. He has hands-on knowledge of every file, and every record is meticulously organized, tabbed, highlighted, notated, and summarized by him and Christina, his trusted and exceptionally competent paralegal of 15 years. Clients I've referred to him call to thank me, and the comments are almost always the same: Steven is a fighter who is tenacious, focused, and fearless but also compassionate. Those clients also praise Steve and Christina for how quickly they return calls and respond to emails.
Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs

Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs
When mess and chaos enter our lives, Steven Goldberg is the man to call. The acumen found at Goldberg Legal is adroit and impressive.
Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs
Steven Goldberg is one of the best litigators I have ever experienced. When he takes on your case, he becomes your best friend, protector, and big brother. He makes his clients total priority. If you need to speak with him, he has a 24 hour return call policy if he is busy with another case. I have never had issues contacting him, which is always a plus when someone is representing you. Steven fights for your rights. I always say, if he is going into a fist fight, he's taking a Bazooka with him. He's always ready, prepared, and always on time. He legitimately cares about his clients, and is the most ethical attorney I have ever had the privilege to work with. He prides himself on winning the ethical way, the right way, and shortcuts are never an option. He doesn't settle cases quickly for his own benefit, he settles or fights for the benefit of his clients. He's always doing the right thing for his clients, and that is what separates him from the average attorney. In regards to his medical knowledge, it's second to no one. In the past I had him on the phone speaking with Dr's to look for issues that they could not find. I have heard stories about his other clients that had issues that medical professionals could not find, and he was able to figure it out. His ability to research and figure out the root cause is amazing. He should have been a Dr. himself. Steven Goldberg is your advocate. He will fight and do what's right for you; period.

He is a superb brief writer and oral advocate. Steve is not afraid to take on a difficult case to best serve his client's interests. His clients love him for not only his legal skills but his empathy for what they are living through with their injuries. He is a wonderful family man who has been able to achieve that hard to find balance between the practice of law and being a complete father and husband.

I initially worked as an adversary of The Goldberg Law Firm when I was a defense attorney. I respected their honesty and work. My experiences against this firm, and in matters concurrently handled with this firm, have been uniformly positive and exemplary.
Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
Steven Goldberg is one of the best lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have hired many law firms in the past for a host of issues including real estate transactions, medical malpractice, civil issues, etc., but I have never hired and worked with an attorney who fights for his clients and is always accessible like this firm. Steven Goldberg is extremely knowledgeable and always instructs his clients with the highest level of integrity. He has represented friends of mine, whom I referred, and they all say the same. When you hire Steven Goldberg, you know that your best interests are well kept and that you couldn't have a better human being fighting for your rights. I am blessed to have met this man.
chris yozwiak
Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
Our family was devastated when my husband was unexpectedly diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2011. My husband went from healthy one day to no hope and passed away within 3 months! Mr. Goldberg entered my home to discuss our options, and we felt like he was family from the first meeting! How he handled our family during this very difficult time was both admirable and appreciated. The professionalism by Mr. Goldberg and The Goldberg Law Firm is above excellent! From explanation to execution of our case, we felt supported and confident that we were in the right hands. Our case continues today and most likely will for many years. Each time we must deal with anything regarding my husband’s case, we are met with the same wonderful care! We will continue to recommend Mr. Goldberg and The Goldberg Law Firm for many years to come!
Claudette Plavan
Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
I have found The Goldberg Law Firm to be extremely well-versed in the areas of personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, mesothelioma & products liability. Attorney Goldberg is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also so are Paralegal Christina Miller and the rest of the staff. They are very caring and sympathetic to the human emotions often associated with difficult cases which is often times forgotten by many law firms. I would highly recommend them if you are ever faced with needing a competent law firm to represent you.
Eric DeZee

The degree of excellence you can expect from the Goldberg Law Firm is unmatched. They are professional, confident, and experienced. You can expect timely, thorough responses demonstrating quality care and attention to your needs.
Ashley Richards
Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs
My experience with The Goldberg Law Firm was top-notch. After you meet him it is easy to see that Attorney Steven Goldberg takes his practice and his cases seriously, and he cares. He is professional, responsive, attentive, and his office will always respond promptly. Attorney Goldberg will always be up front and truthful with you -- I don't think he is capable of any other way. I know he practices across many aspects of law and in particular medical/malpractice. His experience in this field has garnered him with so much knowledge that I prefer to ask him about medical issues involving myself and my family than my own doctor. This is no exaggeration. His conclusion and adamant - adamant advice - to cancel my mother's surgery to remove a hematoma two days before her scheduled surgery saved her life. The misdiagnosed hematoma was actually a rare form of cancer. My mother ended up having 6 weeks of radiation and 5 surgeries at the Cleveland clinic over a 6 month period in 2004 and she is still alive today. The Cleveland Clinic confirmed that if she had the surgery for the misdiagnosed "Hematoma" she would have had about 6 months to live. I and my family are forever grateful to Attorney Goldberg for saving her life. Just know that if you represented by him he will fight for you. If he cant take your case he will refer you to the right attorney who can. I along with other people that I know have referred clients to Attorney Goldberg and not one person has stated anything but thankfulness for the referral because of their experience.

Steven Goldberg of Goldberg Legal has been handling medical malpractice cases for 30 years. He knows medicine. He works up his clients' cases with the best experts and is comfortable in the courtroom.
Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
Steven Goldberg is one of the best lawyers that I have ever encountered for many reasons. He has a strict 24-hour return call policy, which means that you will get a return call within 24 hours regardless, but usually is much less than 24 hours. Steven makes you feel like you’re #1, and he handles your case as if he totally works for you. He is passionate about your case, lives your case, and works to do everything in his power to take care of his clients. As a client, there was never a moment that I felt in the dark, confused, or abandoned. It was always the opposite. I was always well informed, highly educated on the process, totally well equipped for depositions and ready for anything else that would come my way. He is one of the most capable attorneys’ I have ever encountered. I have referred him many cases due to the great job he has done for me. He has rendered huge verdicts and represented clients in Medical Malpractice, Criminal Defense, Gas and Oil, and is currently representing my friend on a very complicated divorce that will probably be documented because of the complexity of the issues. My friend has thanked me countless times for referring him to Steven, because the divorce attorneys that he hired previously were nothing more than mediocre and appeared to be highly rated. Another reason to appreciate Goldberg Legal, is for the wonderful and amazing staff that is always ready to work for you. The service that they give their client is unparalleled and is even more a reason to feel secure doing business with them. I work in the Retail Fireworks business owning several stores throughout Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Indiana. I also own real estate and had many dealings with the gas and oil companies. I have worked with countless attorney's over the years and have rarely encountered an attorney that represents his clients better than Steven Goldberg of Goldberg Legal. Hands down, I would refer him to anyone that I know.

Although the Goldberg Legal did not ultimately take my case, they thoroughly reviewed all medical records and performed all due diligence to ensure that there unfortunately was no case. Attorney Goldberg and his team were very professional and always kind when it came to explaining the facts of the case. Attorney Goldberg also made himself available to recommend an out of state attorney for a different legal matter. I would wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Goldberg and his team to anyone in need of a medical malpractice attorney.

In terms of availability, I have always found him to be responsive. Once a relationship with Mr. Goldberg is established, he displays a deep devotion and commitment to his clients and works solely in their best interest. His integrity as an attorney is very high. I have recommended Mr. Goldberg to friends and family and he has not disappointed.
