Great DUI Defense Attorney

Mr. Goldberg represented me in 2015 for a subsequent DUI that I had received in Rhode Island. I had had a prior DUI more than 10 years before in another state. During one of my first Court appearances I was told not to drive my vehicle and my license was suspended. I did drive after the suspensio...n and I got pulled over. When you have a chemical test refusal in Rhode Island and your license is suspended and you're caught driving on a suspension, it's an automatic 10 days in jail. Mr. Goldberg was able to get me home confinement for 21 days in lieu of jail due to anxiety and depression that I suffer from. He is a very compassionate, caring, dedicated attorney who will listen to you and will get you the best outcome from your litigation. I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
