Above and beyond the call and wins the day

I was being sued for 35 million dollars on an alleged breach of contract case. The other party lies, and even the other parties’ attorney on the primary case would recraft the truth to their liking, of course the challenge is to prove it all in court and to a jury. This case lasted over 2 years and d...uring that time Seth drove the truth home, made the truth seem so obvious, and even pointed out how the opposing side was misrepresenting the truth of things during the trial. The opposition tried every legal "trick" they could to obfuscate the truth, but in the end and especially after Seth's fantastic closing, after only 3 hours the jury returns a verdict in our favor and ends up awarding us damages and attorney fees! The opposition won nothing! Score one for the good guys and another win for Goldberg! Thanks much my friend!! Oh yes I definitely recommend him!

Goes Above and Beyond

Seth did the Terms and Conditions and Rental Agreement applications for my web-based business and they are outstanding. He also recommended a credit card processing company he personally works with for me as a merchant to process our cc payments. I really enjoy personal connections for business and d...eveloping good business relationships and Seth is the man to talk to for developing a good business relationship with and possibly helping with referrals.

Outstanding! Recommend without hesitation!

Fortunately I do not have much experience with using attorneys and was very nervous about whom to contact and what cost would be. Seth was very professional, patient, understanding. He helped me through my dilemma and put my worries at ease. Spot on with the quote he provided, but first and foremost ...got the result I was hopping for. I would recommend Mr. Goldberg in a heart beat!!

Client Consultation

I met Seth for a consultation regarding a legal issue where I was really emotionally invested. Seth was very forthright and appeared to be very knowledgeable on the legalities of the topic. Seth listened to what I wanted to do and where I was going with it. After listening to me Seth responded very h...onestly. He directed me on what I should do on my own. Other lawyers may have tried to make a federal case out of what was troubling me and sign me up for a hefty retainer, Seth did not do this when the opportunity was there. Seth was honest, did not charge me for the thirty minute consultation and set me on the course of reality. The result of Seth's forthright and honest approach to my legal issue will be the reason that Seth will be my first call when a legal problem arises where I need an attorney . Thanks Seth! Tom

Understandable, Approachable, Knowledgeable and Patient

Seth helped me understand some of my real estate sales paperwork. He did a very good job translating it for me---putting my questions into context and relating the meaning. He answered my questions patiently---pointing out options and contingencies I had not thought of---in a friendly and level-hea...ded manner. His knowledge and calm matter-of-fact nature helped me understand my position much better and process the information effectively.
