Fianlly a reliable lawyer

I have used the services of this lawyer several times. I like the fact that he educates you as you go along so that you know exactly what is happening as it happens. I have never had any problems with his services. Remember, as with anything you get what you pay for.

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.

Review of Frederick Goldberg, Bethesda, MD

My husband and I found Fred Goldberg to be a most thorough and engaged attorney for our case. He was attentive to our questions and ideas and gave us enormous amount of time and attention--often off the clock. Most important, his strategy was effective and we were most pleased with the outstanding ...outcome. His demeanor was always most pleasant and, yet, very professional. I wish I had not wasted time and money with other attorneys on my case. He handled everything expeditiously and without a lot of fanfare. Great job!

Fred saved my mouth and life

I was that rare dental malpractice horror story. I had been victimized over 15 years by a dentist who eventually lost his license for many reasons, but mostly incompetence. I am going to lose all my teeth, as a result. Fred walked me through the process of suing him for malpractice. In just 9 month...s, I had a check for $97,000; enough to completely restore my mouth. Fred and his staff were professional, thoughtful, and answered the phone (or called me back) within minutes, each time I called over the entire process. As I was nearly despondent at times, Fred not only saved my mouth, but probably my life, as well. I will always be grateful. I cannot recommend him to you enough.

Best Lawyer in Bethesda, Maryland

Frederick Goldberg is the finest Lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to meet and work with. He took my case when on one else would, not even our personal Company Attorney's were any help. Since I live in another State, Fred worked with me through e-mails and phone calls and kept me on my toes. I w...ould almost consider myself one of his worst clients; do to my ADHA and how I procrastinate about everything, if it wasn't for his patients and understanding, I would have never made it throw a successful medical settlement. Since my Son and Husband have several businesses, I have discovered that other Competitors, Companies, and Businesses will pay people to leave negative responses to discredit good people's reputations. Frederick Goldberg never requested a penny from me and as we all know, personal injury cases are a long drawn out affair. He invested his time, his money and his patients in me and I invested nothing until settlement. I can't thank him enough for restoring my faith and trust back in the human race. I highly recommend him and if the occasion ever arises, he would be the first one I would call.
