Wonderful Attorney

We found ourselves in a very bad situation with needing a criminal defense attorney for our son, and we had the fortunate circumstance of another attorney calling us and telling us that he had already contacted Rich on our behalf. That was a ray of sunshine for us. We already had scheduled an initial... consult with a local attorney for us and had the fortune of meeting with Rich prior to that appt. We left Rich's office that day feeling like he would work for us and with us for the best possible outcome for our son. The next attorney was rude, arrogant and did not make us feel as comfortable as Rich did. We left that office feeling that it was all about the money. We retained Rich that night and have never regretted that decision. I feel that Rich is very professional, courteous and easy to speak with. He always called with any new developments in the case and was very prompt at returning our phone calls and emails. He also has patience in dealing with the family and the multitude of questions that came up. At this time Rich has represented my son for over a year and he continues to finalize the process. Rich has gone out of his way for us, and my whole family is truly grateful to have been referred to him. I suspect that by now you have realized that he gave us the best possible outcome for our son. We are truly grateful to him. I would highly recommend Rich to anyone who needs an excellent Criminal Defense Attorney.

Excellent - Richard Goldberg

My family hired Richard to represent my brother in a criminal case. I called him on a Sunday morning and just a few hours later he was meeting with my brother at the jail. He represented him at two hearings - both times thoroughly impressed with his work. We felt confident that we were going to have ...a positive outcome with Richard handling the case. Communication was excellent - a rare find with an attorney...he would readily answer calls or text as well. Unfortunately, my brother passed just a few weeks after hiring Richard. At this point; Richard felt like family. He attended his service and supported us throughout our horrific ordeal. Richard definitely goes above and beyond!! Good people are hard come by these days....without question Richard is one. He is very good at what he does, but is also caring and compassionate.

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
