Saved me so much money

Wrecked a motorcycle & ended up with 3 tickets all carrying points. Attorney very accurately informed me about my situation, my options, and got all charges reduced and set me up on a payment plan with the court. Very honest and straightforward, fair price as well. Got me out of a bad situation

Josh is an exceptional attorney to work with

Josh is an exceptional attorney to work with! I discovered his contact information online when my daughter received a traffic ticket. He was honest, fair, and demonstrated expert knowledge in his field. Thanks to his help, we were able to reduce the traffic violation. Additionally, he refunded part o...f the agreed-upon fee since he handled the case efficiently in another early court visit. I highly recommend Josh to anyone needing assistance with a traffic case.

Attentive and Thorough

In a consultation about a moving violation, Josh was attentive to the issues of the case, and got back to me promptly with a citation of the relevant law. Should I ever need help with a similar issue, he is the first person I will call.

Great outcome!

I found Attorney Josh Goldberg on line. I was specifically looking for someone for my son that had experience in traffic tickets. He was able to get a speeding ticket moved to an equipment violation. What I liked in particular was all of the information that Attorney Goldberg shared prior to goin...g to court. My son had all of the documents necessary to show he had a good driving record. We would haven't thought to have any of that for court. He even made sure to tell my son to dress up. His traffic violation wasn't a big deal but in the long run it could have had consequences for insurance rates going up and possibly effecting his employment regarding his CDL. I would highly recommend Attorney Goldberg. He communicated well and worked with my son directly.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Attorney Goldberg and I worked together on a criminal law/Orphan's Court matter in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for a mutual client. Attorney Goldberg was an integral part of the team over the approximate 18 months of the representation. Ultimately, Attorney Goldberg provided appellate case law to another lawyer on the team which was the turning point in securing the result the client was seeking. I would recommend Attorney Goldberg and would seek his counsel and work with him again."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Josh Goldberg as a fellow attorney for over 10 years. Throughout that time, Josh has shown that he treats each client's case as a unique personal challenge. Josh is set apart from the crowd not just because of the way he stands up for the unjustly accused. Josh is unique for his desire to expose the ways in which our criminal laws are biased against individuals and in favor of a criminal justice system that seeks quick and easy convictions. If you or somebody you know is at risk of becoming a victim of the process, or simply need somebody to stand up and make sure you are treated equally under the law, contact Josh Goldberg."
