    Steven M. Goldberg founded the Goldberg Legal Co., LPA litigation firm in 1989 and has practiced law continuously since. Over the years he has successfully litigated and tried complex civil and criminal matters in U.S District Courts, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and various state courts. Mr. Goldberg has briefed and argued dozens of appeals at the state and federal level including in the Ohio Supreme Court, Carpenter v. Consolidated Rail Corp., 69 Ohio St. 3d 259 (1994). Mr. Goldberg’s areas of practice include medical and hospital malpractice, asbestos-related lung cancer (mesothelioma) lawsuits, pharmaceutical drug litigation, and catastrophic personal injury claims. Steven has been a guest speaker at national litigation summits in medical device and drug campaigns involving DePuy ASR Hip Replacement System Class I Recall and Topamax Litigation.

    Mr. Goldberg was recently unanimously voted into the American Board of Trial Advocates. The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) is a prestigious national association of the most respected and experienced trial lawyers and judges. Membership is by invitation only and is highly selective. It is limited to only those attorneys who have attained the requisite level of jury trial experience. Steven is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum®, The Top Trial Lawyers in America® (which includes the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum), one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Less than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members. For 5 consecutive years, Goldberg Legal Co. LPA has been ranked in the U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” list regionally (Cleveland) in 2 practice areas including, Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs and Product Liability - Plaintiffs.

    The legal system is enough of a minefield to begin with. Add in corporate bullies, unqualified doctors, citizens who hurt other citizens, and defense lawyers – all of whom stand to lose money if you win justice – and all of a sudden you have a nightmare situation.

     The good news is you are not alone, and you can get legal representation that is equal to the gravity of your case.

The best law firm
Steven, Christina, & Maureen were exceptional in handling my case. Steven helped guide us through my injury and offered detailed knowledge on my ailment from accident. I would highly recommend the team for any/all legal help needed and would not go anywhere else.

Excellent, respectful firm
Maureen and Christina were exceptionally patient with me as we went through the process after my father’s passing. They were very helpful and thoughtful, always answering my many questions in a very timely manner. Before his passing, my father spoke very highly of this firm and how they worked with him and my mother, especially how they treated both of them with high respect.

Steven was very responsive and reassuring in following up on what he said he would do. The lines of communication were great which made going through our ordeal as easy as could be considering. Ultimately Steven under promised and over delivered and we couldn't be happier with the end result.

Personal/Injury
Attorney Goldberg and his legal team Christina and Maureen deliver superb services. The whole team is very personable, and I always felt welcomed and at ease at their office. When I met with Mr. Goldberg to discuss my case, his priority was to send me to medical experts to help me recover from the injury I sustained. He is knowledgeable and very educated about medical issues, which showed me how compassionate he is. I’m grateful for him because, without his help, I may not have found a treatment for my condition. He is thorough and always available to answer all of my questions and concerns. His integrity is indisputable. I had a positive experience with Goldberg Legal office, and I highly recommend them.

I just finalized my work with Attorney Goldberg and his staff and am 100% satisfied. They walked me through everything and prepared the requisite documents to close this out in an expeditious and professional manner. I loved working with the staff and had the chance to visit their office. The work environment (attorney Goldberg even brings his dog to work) was fantastic and everyone seemed happy and were very accommodating. I will use them in the future if any other needs come up.

Steve Goldberg is the best!
I worked for a major package delivery company. While delivering a package I was attacked by a german shepherd. I suffered severe injuries to my hamstring. The people who owned the german shepherd, their insurance company was only offering me a couple thousand dollars for my injuries. My husband who is not an attorney, was dealing with the insurance company himself, was asking for $6000 just so we could cover our out of pocket expenses. I was referred to Steve Goldberg and I was shocked at what he did for us. Not only didn't we settle with the insurance Company, Attorney Goldberg filed a lawsuit and in the days leading up to the trial we received a settlement for over 8 times more than we asked for and 25 times more than what the insurance company offered. I was floored. Here is the most interesting part. In the package delivery industry - dog bites are very common. I had a handful of co-workers suffer similar injuries. I referred Steve Goldberg to all of them. None of them took my advice. My co-workers received minimal compensation ($2000 - $4500) for their injuries and a couple of them suffered injuries more severe than mine. 100% of them eventually told me "I should have went to your guy". Attorney Goldberg is professional, honest, and direct. More importantly once you get to know him it is easy to see that he has values and morals and is the type of person that if he were your friend, you would be lucky.

Thank You Mr. Goldberg
Not long ago I was involved in a serious car accident that turned my life completely upside down. I received significant injuries as a result of this accident which was caused by another's negligence. Attorney Steven Goldberg and his amazing assistant Christina were a tremendous resource to myself and my family with navigating thru this difficult process. Attorney Goldberg was extremely honest and up front, he and his staff were always accessible to me to answer any of my questions or concerns and they were so very professional throughout the whole process. Attorney Goldberg worked diligently on my to ensure that I received a very fair resolution in my case. I am very happy with my decision to choose the Goldberg Law firm to represent me and am more than satisfied with the representation that I received. I would recommend the Goldberg Law firm to anyone in need of legal representation.

Great Job
The Goldberg Law Firm did excellent work for me. It truly was a seamless legal claim. However, as good as Mr. Goldberg was, his staff, including Christina DeZee were attentive, kept me up do date on the proceedings, and closed the case with efficiency. Highly recommended.

His detailed feedback is reassuring and appreciated as your needs are made a priority. Thank you, Goldberg Law Firm.

I highly recommend without hesitation
“The Goldberg Law Firm is one of the finest law firms in Ohio and Steven Goldberg is a lawyer’s lawyer whose trial skills are exceptional, as can be seen by his case successes. I have found Steven to be a passionate advocate for his clients and the causes they represent. Combine that passion with his experience and skill as a litigator, and you have a formidable combination. Steven is prepared and focused and has the ability to dissect a case much like a skilled surgeon, with absolute calm. Nothing seems to rattle him or distract him from his goal on a case, which of course, makes him extremely tough to beat. His firm is not intimated by the size of the corporation they are suing, or the size of the law firm that is defending the case. Integrity and dedication are the two words that best describe this terrific law firm. As a California resident, I was referred to the Goldberg Law firm to take on my case. My situation was extremely complicated and dealt with Real Estate Law and the theft of a large property in Ohio. After a long and stressful fight we received a successful verdict. Working with Steven, Christina De Zee (Paralegal) and the rest of his team was a very positive experience for me and I would refer them without hesitation”.

Very positive result from case
I was injured in an accident that was the fault of another driver. My expectations were exceeded with the final result of the case. All correspondence and dealings were straightforward and professional. My settlement was much higher than originally planned.
