Dental Malpractice

It was challenging finding a reputable attorney for a dental malpractice case, and I went through a few before finally finding Fred B. Goldberg. Working with Fred was one of the best professional experiences I have had -- he is extremely knowledgable and experienced in this field, unbelievably capab...le, responsive, successful - and also has a great sense of humor! The dentist refused to settle this case, so we ended up going to trial 4 years after the injuires occured. We won on all counts, which - I learned after the trial - is not easy or common for dental/medical malpractice. I know that we won because of Fred. Throughout the process, I always had the comfort and confidence that I was in the most capable hands, and that he would do all that could possibly be done to succeed. While I definitely hope I won't be in need of Fred's expertise again, I know that he is the only person that I would consider for future work for myself, family or firends. On a personal note, it was wonderful getting to know Fred - a truly great guy who is also a wonderful attorney!

First class advocate who earned my trust and kept his word.

Before I knew Fred had won the case for me on all counts (while jury was deliberating), I told him I needed to thank him heartily--win OR lose--for excellent representation. My case involved breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation by a professional and a violation of DC consumer protection l...aw. While dealing with lawyers/litigation is never enjoyable, Fred was an excellent guide through the process and a highly skilled representative. He quickly absorbed the details of my case, saw immediately what the critical hinge issues were, and found a statutory claim I had no idea about, but on which he was a great expert. He kept me informed every step of the way in what turned out to be a long journey through trial (other side stubbornly refused to settle, much to my chagrin). At the trial, Fred was eloquent with the jury and made hard-hitting, reasonable arguments that kept jurors looking to him for answers. He won their trust, as he did mine. Fred has a genuine talent for distilling complex issues into bite-sized pieces and cutting through the noise of a multi-pronged case to keep jurors focused on key facts. Most important to me, Fred was scrupulously fair regarding our contingency arrangement. Though I hope not to require a lawyer again, I would hire Fred without hesitation if the need for legal representation arose.

Fred Goldberg is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers that I know. I would turn to him any day for advice on dental malpractice matters. He has handled my case in a professional and ethical manner and I have the highest regard and respect for him. He is dynamic, creative, and successful. Anyone ...choosing Fred Goldberg will be in good hands.

Great team, wise lawyer

I can't say enough about how great Fred Goldberg and his team was. He is not a typical injury attorney that tries to win with outrageous claims, he professionally removes the word outrageous and sets a new level of what is expected in negotiations. Though I am not from MD (actually far from it) I n...eeded someone to represent me after a lower back injury from an accident during a business trip. Though small on the scale of what he normally accepts, he took my case which yielded twenty five times the number that was offered from my insurance. I never felt intimidated and he always insisted on 100% honesty. I hope no one ever has to hire Fred, but if the insurance company tries to minimize claims you pay a lot of money to have, he is an awesome lawyer that makes the process easy and rewarding.

Very pleased with attorney, Fred Goldberg.

Fred is an excellent lawyer. I hired him right away ater the consultation. He explained the whole legal process, including length of this particular case, prons and cons of preparing for and going to trial, and I knew ahead of time what to expect. There were no suprises at all at the end. What I wa...s told at the beginning is what I got at the conclusion of my case. I highly recommend Fred if you want an attorney to tell you the truth and be honest about your case and its outcome.
