Awful Lawyer

This lawyer is completely untrustworthy and does nothing but create billing for doctors receiving kick backs. He is unresponsive and has a very rude staff. The more you ask questions, the worst it becomes. You never see him, nor will you ever met him. He handles everything through surrogates and so r...equesting a meeting for updates is impossible. I had to get another lawyer to replace him who was able to deal with my case responsibly and quickly.

IThis is a fake review posted by an employee that I fired. All of my clients can reach me 24/7. My personal cell phone number is given to my clients and is listed on my office voicemail. Please choose your lawyers by personal recommendations and reputation in the community, and not by nonsense you find on the internet.

Great lawyer for my whiplash case

I had another lawyer who didn't take my case seriously because i didn't have any broken bones or surgery. Mr. Goldberg understood the nature of my injury and handled my claim to get me a good settlement from a difficult insurance company. I would recommend him to anyone!

Great results and professional work!

I would really recommend Michael Goldberg as an injury lawyer. He knows what he does, prompt with responses and helped me with the statements to win the case. The office was very helpful with the questions I asked and the lawyer was clear during the process. I'm very thankful to Michael Goldberg and ...his crew. If you are looking for a professional in this injury field- that would be it.

Very Experienced lawyer

I am so grateful and happy that I chose M. Goldberg for my case. I had a difficult situation, and I had to change few lawyers before Michael. He took his time to explain to me every detail and every step for my case. The whole process went smoothly, and I definitively recommend him.

Excellent Lawyer!

Mr. Goldberg is an excellent personal injury lawyer. He clearly explained things to me from the beginning of my case and there were no surprises throughout the process. He got me a good settlement for what I went through. He even gave me his cell phone number so I could reach him after hours! I... recommend him to anyone needing a personal injury lawyer. Especially if it is soft-tissue case!

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.
