Posted by anonymous | July 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Medical Malpractice

Fine legal mind

I've had the misfortune to need and work with several lawyers over the past few decades. How I wish I had known of Donald Goldberg before. He is hands down the finest lawyer I've ever known. He has a superb grasp of complicated legal issues. He also has a heart. When nobody would represent my 95 year... old grandmother in a horrific malpractice incident due to her advanced age and the power of her legal adversaries he accepted the case and ultimately prevailed. He has earned my highest respect and I recommend him without reservation S

Professional, Knowledgable and Straight Forward

I was referred to Mr. Golberg by another attorney. After consulting with this attorney, I found that he was upfront, honest and extremely knowledgable. In the event that I decide to pursue my civil suit, I am confident that Mr. Goldberg will perform his duties, in my interest, to the fullest extent..., and prove to represent me above and beyond the majority of attorneys. - E.M. - Brooklyn, NY

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.

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.
