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!

Recommend Without Reservation!

I contacted Seth Goldberg following my being involved in an auto accident which left me with significant injuries. Seth traveled to the hospital to meet with my family and I, and he quickly assessed my legal situation and discussed options and probable courses of action, keeping us informed along th...e way. Seth was not only professional and courteous, he was also caring and compassionate with each phase of the legal process. I was extremely pleased with the final financial settlement that Seth negotiated on my behalf. If you want one of the hard-chargers, who keeps your personal and legal interests at the forefront of his efforts, Seth Goldberg is your man.

Seth Goldberg is an honest, outstanding Attorney

In 1998 Seth represented me in a libel suit against a defense contractor, Smith v Orange Blossom Lines, tried in Torrance CA. The jury awarded me 2.5 million dollars after a 6 day trial. What else do you need to know? Well, Seth in also a Lieutenant Colonel in the California National Guard, on the ...promotion list for full Colonel, and a graduate of the prestigious U.S. Army War College. He commanded an Armor battalion in Iraq for a year and brought back all his soldiers alive and in one piece. They ran convoy security missions up and down Iraq, including the infamous "Route Irish." I know - I am a combat wounded veteran of Iraq and a retired Lieutenant Colonel.

A Compassionate and Professional Attorney

I had a case that a number of attorneys refused to handle because of their physical fear of the opposing party (he was both mentally unstable and physically fit, with a history of violence). Seth Goldberg signed on as my attorney, walked me through the process, and achieved a result that I was more ...than satisfied with. I highly recommend him.
