Excellent Attorney...

Mr. Goldberg is a great Attorney. He thrives himself on keeping you informed on any and all information regarding your case, and does the very best that he can to provide a great turn around time. When all else failed, I knew I could rely on him getting things done quickly and effectively. Thank you ...Mr. Goldberg!

The Best Attorney ever!!

Attorney F. Goldberg was very helpful ! Attorney Goldberg seen me the very 1st day that I called him to see if I had an case. He and his staff kept me informed on all aspects of my case and took there time to fill me on some of the legal terms and what they meant. I was very impressed with his work a...nd his staff. I know if Attorney Goldberg recommends someone or something he is only passing the best info for his clients!

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.

Great Auto Accident Lawyer

Fred Goldberg handled my auto accident/personal injury case. ...and did a terrific job! He communicated and listened well, and stayed on top of what was happening with the case, fairly representing my interests. His staff were also very supportive, and always prompt at returning calls or emails. I... would strongly recommend him!
