Michael was the Best

Michael handled my case excellent. When I first met with him he was extremely confident that and seemed to truely care about my case and thats what I was looking for in a lawyer. I met with many attorneys in the cleveland area and none of them seemed as confident as Michael did. I was charged with a ...F2 felonious assault carrying a sentance of 2-8 years prison and he got it dropped to a disordly conduct misdemeanor with only 3 months nonreporting probation and no jail time. I could not be more happier with the results. He is the best and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you

Worked magic with stubborn prosecutor!

Michael Goldberg represented me in a felony drug case where I was charged with 8 felonies & 4 misdemeanors which had me looking at many years in prison, but Michael got them knocked down to where I didn't go to prison & received only 18 months probation, 10 days in jail, & some fines. The prosecutor ...wanted me gone for years in prison, but Mike convinced the judge otherwise & he's gone above & beyond since for me. Yeah he may be late to some hearings, but the judge & prosecutor were never on time either, so Michael was helping his other clients in the justice center because his services are so sought after do to his success rates of keeping people out of prison. I'd recommend him to people & say to those that post bad reviews, "if he kept you out of prison, then he did his job & if you're not happy with the results of plea bargaining, maybe you should have went to trial."

Michael Goldberg is THE BEST of the best. Want to stay out of prison? Hire Michael Goldberg.

Michael Goldberg has represented me several times in both Cuyahoga County and Summit County. He has had my felony charges dropped to misdemeanors in more than one instance. I probably should have went to prison at least once but Michael has kept me a free man! Michael Goldberg delivers upon his pro...mises, and I would recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges. If you retain Michael to represent you, I promise you will not be disappointed....Hands down, the best criminal defense attorney in Northeast Ohio. I will never be able to thank Michael enough for all he has done for me.

Representaion

Michael is a top notch attorney who has never lied and would do anything to help. I hired him for my son who got mixed up in the wrong crowd. He went above and beyond to help my family. I also hired him for a custody dispute, and again, he went above and beyond. He took the time to talk to me on a ho...liday weekend when he was vacationing with his family. He took every call I made to him on his cell, and even texted me back with answers to my questions when he was busy with court. I highly recommend Michael Goldberg. Thank you!!

Mike kept me a free man!

I kept my job and my home, never spent a single moment in a jail and was not even arrested! Mike achieved the best possible outcome for the charges that were against me. the prosecutors and the police are not your friends, the only things that they care about is their own personal advancement. The pr...osecutor in my case did not ever talk to me even one time and they did not even care what the truth was. If you find yourself in trouble the first thing I would do is get on my knees and get Jesus on the mainline then I would call Mike .when you meet Mike He comes off like a regular guy but when you get in court that's when you find out that he is the real deal! the prosecutor in my case was visibly upset and stomped out of the room when everything was said and done. At the end my family was in tears and Mike said some very nice things to us that we really appreciated. If you need an attorney I would not hesitate to call Mike!
