Incredibly lucky to find Peter M. Goldberg

After being involved in a serious rear-end car accident caused by a negligent driver, I found myself overwhelmed. I had to deal with insurance companies trying to minimize their payout and healthcare providers who weren't guiding me toward the best recovery plan and were making billing errors beyond ...my understanding. Realizing I needed help, I asked a couple of attorney friends for recommendations on the best personal injury lawyers on Cape Cod. Attorney Peter Goldberg's name came up multiple times. The first attorney I contacted had the most ratings online, but he opted for an initial phone consultation instead of an in-person meeting. He mentioned handling the most personal injury cases on the Cape and would assign an associate to work with me. My impression was that I was just a number to him, and when I reread his reviews, it seemed I wasn’t alone in feeling this way. The second attorney I reached out to was well-credentialed and came with strong professional recommendations. However, it was clear from his reviews that personal injury cases were only a small portion of his practice. I wanted someone who primarily specialized in personal injury law. My third call was to Attorney Peter M. Goldberg. After our initial phone call, he quickly made time to meet with me. During our meeting, I explained my situation, and he listened carefully, responding with empathy, consideration, and honest professionalism. It was clear he was highly knowledgeable in the areas of law I needed for navigating the insurance and medical aspects of my case. He made no promises or guarantees but assured me that his firm would represent me to the best of their ability. I trusted my intuition and hired him. Seven months later, my case was settled. Attorney Goldberg and his team, especially Ashley, who managed my case, were incredibly kind and professional. Whenever I had issues with aggressive insurance reps or billing errors, they were there to guide and protect me. I am extremely grateful for their support. They went above and beyond what I expected, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. From the time of the accident, it took me almost a month of physical pain and pressure from insurance companies to find my way to Attorney Peter Goldberg. Once I did, my problems quickly disappeared—no more billing or insurance issues. The case settled above my expectations, and I would wholeheartedly endorse Peter Goldberg and his team to anyone needing personal injury representation.

Extremely Pleased

I was extremely pleased that i reached out to Peter Goldberg to represent me after i incurred an injury. In the initial meeting Attorney Goldberg listened closely to the details i provided. I was impressed with questions he asked to both understand and validate what had happened to me. His approach ...to me during that first meeting was very personable... very easy to talk to... very thorough... completely non-intimidating yet presenting a toughness that i was looking for. I was pleased that he agreed to represent me. Attorney Goldberg handled all the on-going details while i was able to just concentrate on getting the medical care care i needed. During this recovery Attorney Goldberg always put my well-being first... never any pressure to bring closure to the case. Recently the case was resolved in a settlement far beyond what my expectations had been. I very highly recommend Attorney Peter Goldberg and the professional and courtesy staff at Goldberg and Weigand.

Professional and knowledgeable!

My business had an issue with a customer that required me to consult an attorney. After speaking to a couple of different attorneys I chose to work with Atty. Peter Goldberg at Goldberg & Weigand in Hyannis. Mr. Goldberg was always quick to return to my calls which was very important to me since I w...as under a deadline. He took the time to learn more about my specific business and dug deep for details about the issue I was having. Based on his experience, knowledge and guidance, I was easily able to make the right decisions that helped me win my case!
