About Steven
Biography
For over three decades, Steven M. Goldberg has devoted his career to advocating for individuals and families harmed by medical malpractice, defective products, catastrophic injuries, and corporate negligence. As the founder and principal attorney of Goldberg Legal Co., LPA, he has built a reputation for taking on complex, high-stakes litigation and delivering results in both state and federal courts nationwide. His experience includes appearances before the United States Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, as well as leadership roles in multi-district litigation involving pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and toxic torts. Among his notable appellate victories are Carpenter v. Consolidated Rail Corp., 69 Ohio St.3d 259 (1994), and Estate of Cook v. Montville Township, et al., 2024-Ohio-5690, argued before the Ohio Supreme Court.
Widely recognized for excellence in trial advocacy, Steven M. Goldberg has earned sustained national recognition for his leadership and results in complex civil litigation. He has been featured in The Best Lawyers in America for multiple consecutive years across medical malpractice, product liability, personal injury, and mass tort litigation, and was honored as "Lawyer of the Year" for Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs. U.S. News & World Report has consistently named Goldberg Legal Co., LPA among America's Best Law Firms, recognizing the firm's high-caliber work in medical malpractice, product liability, personal injury, and mass tort cases. Steven also holds the highest Martindale-Hubbell AVA Preeminent Rating (5.0/5.0) and has been repeatedly selected by The National Trial Lawyers as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer, Top 25 Mass Tort Lawyer, and Top 25 Brain Injury Lawyer. He is further distinguished as a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an honor reserved for attorneys who have secured million-dollar verdicts and settlements.
Steven is a Fellow of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) and a Senior Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, distinctions limited to the top 0.5% of trial lawyers nationwide. He is admitted to practice before multiple federal and state courts, including the United States Supreme Court, the Ohio Supreme Court, and U.S. District Courts across Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. He is also an active member of leading professional organizations such as the Federal Bar Association, American Association for Justice, Cleveland Academy of Trial Lawyers, and the Mass Tort Trial Lawyers Association.
A graduate of Capital University School of Law, Steven is equally committed to his family. He is a devoted husband to Amanda R. Goldberg, an Official Court Reporter, and a proud father of three daughters: Taylor, Jessa, and Lily. Outside the courtroom, he enjoys spending time with his family and their beloved pets: Duke, Sam, Monsieur Pussycat, and Darla.
