About Corey
Biography
Guided by the principle that every injured worker deserves a strong advocate, Corey dedicates his practice to representing individuals who have been hurt on the job and are navigating the challenges of the Workers’ Compensation system. He combines legal skill with compassion, ensuring his clients feel supported and informed every step of the way.
At Postman Law, Corey’s practice focuses exclusively on Workers’ Compensation, where he helps clients secure the benefits and protections they deserve under the law. His work includes managing all stages of litigation—from initial claim investigation through hearings and appeals—while maintaining close communication with clients to understand their medical, financial, and emotional needs. Corey’s approach is hands-on and client-centered, rooted in his belief that trust and empathy are the cornerstones of effective advocacy.
Before joining Postman Law, Corey practiced law for over 17 years, representing individuals in a variety of
injury matters. His experience taught him that true fulfillment in law comes not from financial success, but from helping hardworking people rebuild their lives after unexpected hardship. This philosophy continues to guide his work today.
Corey earned his Juris Doctor from DePaul University College of Law and his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois. Inspired by his father, the late Michael B. Goldberg—who founded a law firm dedicated to fighting for those treated unfairly—Corey carries forward a family legacy of integrity, compassion, and commitment to justice.

amazing
Corey was my lawyer after I had to fire another attorney and he made everything better. My case was only worth about 6k, and I know he didn't make more than 1200 on me, but he worked diligently for 2 years and countless hours to make me feel special. I probably sent him over 50 emails and called h...

Thanks
I have to thank Corey for keeping me informed and doing his best on a crappy case. My injury happened at work, but I had other issues that he smoothed over with the insurance and got me a great settlement.

Happy
Corey was able to get my case settled quickly despite the insurance company being very hard to deal with. I did not have a huge case, yet he treated me with respect and attentiveness. I hope to never need an attorney again, but I will def call Corey if I need it.

Very hard time in my life, but he made it as good as it could be. He had to go to court 3 times on my case and I had to testify 2 times but he prepared me and made it go well. We won each trial and also on appeals and I finally got paid...
