Client

Mr. Goldberg is a superb attorney, a consummate professional, and an expert in personal injury law. He is honest, trustworthy, accessible, and responsive. He patiently guided me through the often confusing and complicated world of my personal injury claim and secured a maximum settlement within eigh...t months of my accident. Throughout, Mr. Goldberg kept me current with the progress of my case, promptly responded to my questions, and advocated on my behalf as needed. His communications are clear, concise, courteous and specific – no legalize or jargon. Mr. Goldberg succinctly provided the information I needed to make informed decisions. I always felt that he had my best interests in mind. Although I rarely write reviews and I make referrals judiciously, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Goldberg to members of my family or close friends.

Straight Shooter

Goldberg is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. From the first time we spoke to the settlement of my case, Goldberg always kept it real, gave me reasonable expectations and delivered exactly as he said he would! The other lawyers i dealt with before Goldberg always BS'd me in the beginning ...and then disappointed me in the end. I highly recommend Goldberg for any injury cases.

Michael Goldberg

Michael Goldberg is a very honest, trustworthy, and caring lawyer. From day one I felt cared about and in good hands. He walked me through every process and guided me in a way that I could understand. I was able to reach him every time I wanted to get in touch with him. His staff was always professio...nal. Most importantly, you will feel represented and defended with him as your lawyer.

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.

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.

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.
