Best attorney in town
Berry is not only an awesome attorney, but he is also a noble human being. He is professional, caring, yet aggressive. He will fight for you and he will not stop till he wins the battle. We were so desperate when our insurance company dumped us and rejected coverage. Our whole life collapsed in front of our eyes. Barry, stood tall and strong and helped us fight with with the insurance company for our rights and brought them down on their knees. We closed the case and our little business that feeds our family is up and running again. Me and my family love him and are thankful to him for life. Thank you Barry. God bless you.

Results Oriented, Trustworthy and Knowledgeable
I suffered through a not-my-fault auto accident in January of 2010. Unfortunately the opposing insurance company is well known for it's habitual delays of paying plaintiffs. Barry Goldberg did an excellent job of pursuing Mercury on my behalf until we reached a more than fair settlement. He is fair, knowledgeable, kept me well informed through the months of interaction with opposing Counsel and acheived a great result considering all the circumstances. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a personal injury lawsuit! Should a prospective client wish to speak with me about working with Mr. Goldberg, please contact him for my information.

Even for a quick second
Barry was kind, direct and reassuring. In my admittedly limited experience dealing with attorneys, that's not always the case. Barry took my call and gave me 15 minutes of his consultation time and asked nothing in return. Fortunately, it sounds like I won't need to retain his services but should that need arise, I'll certainly come right back.

Excellent Injury Attorney
Barry Goldberg is a great injury attorney. He is very personal with all his clients, the entire staff were readily available for any of my questions, and the entire process was explained and Barry made sure I understood everything I was signing. I had hired a previous attorney and they did nothing for me. I fired them, hired Barry, and I couldn't have been happier. Barry got me a great settlement, lowered his fee, and ultimately took care of me as his client. I highly recommend Barry Goldberg for anyone involved in a injury case.

Responsive Communicator
Barry and his entire team have been great about responding to messages and communicating my wife's case status throughout the entire process. They were more than willing and able to answer our questions and spend the time necessary to make sure that we adequately understood the answers. Not only would I recommend Barry and his team, I'd use them again, if we had another PI claim.

Quick answers and good explanations with confidence
I am very easily confused and overwhelmed. My brain doesn't work in that left brained way that lawyers do. I feared going to talk to a lawyer would be intimidating and I would be hurried along with impatience. But that is not what happened. The gentlemen was easy and approachable. He explained things in a straightforward way and made me feel comfortable. I received some excellent advice to guide me through the next steps. It's so important for an attorney to encourage one's confidance in his competence at the beginning when things are the most unknown and tenuous. He did this for me. I'm at the beginning stages and can update my review again in case there is more to add. I would not want to miss crediting him for each piece of the task.

Surpassing Expectation
Over the past year I found myself in a couple of situations where I needed legal assistance and didn't know where to go. I found Barry on Yelp and there were some very positive statements about him recorded. I took a chance and I must tell you that my high expectations were actually surpassed. Barry really cares about his clients on a personal level. He has been practicing law in this area for decades and knows his trade well. He was very comforting to my wife and me while dealing with some fairly emotional situations. Barry provided a high level of expertise, compassion and wisdom in each situation. I would say that if you are in need of an attorney you can trust who walks with integrity and can get the job done, you will be happy that you called on Barry Goldberg.

Exceptional Legal Service
My wife had been involved in a car accident. The specific circumstances created a complicated issue with the insurance. I reached out to a few so-called experts but everyone gave us different advice. Dealing with the insurance company was even worse; it was nearly impossible to get someone useful on the phone and they sent us letters filled with a lot of legal content. It was a frustrating, to put it mildly. We found Mr. Goldberg online and went to his office in Woodland hills. He swiftly deciphered the entire insurance matter for us and explained exactly what needed to be done and what could be expected. Even though it was our first visit, my wife and I felt like Mr. Goldberg had been our attorney for a long time. He has a comforting and extremely professional style. Most importantly, Mr. Goldberg has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience with all matters having to do with insurance and car accidents. We left his office armed with the information we needed to resolve our situation. Highly rerecorded.

A Lawyer Who Goes Beyond the Bare Minimum; Truly On Your Side
Barry was absolutely wonderful. He and his staff kept me informed about every aspect of my case, taking the time to answer any and all questions I had and making sure I understood what was coming on. Barry came to see me in the hospital at 6:30 in the morning because I was due to be transferred to another hospital out of town that same day. He gave me his cell phone and his email so I could communicate with him directly and he flew up to see me to speak face to face about my case. He sent me a gift basket when I had to go back into the hospital and even took a smaller fee than he was legally entitled to because he felt that the insurance amounts available would not fully cover all my medical needs. I never felt that he was out for his own gain or that he didn't truly care about me; every word out of his mouth felt genuine and I truly believed that he had my best interests at heart. I would use him again in an instant.

Awesome
Attorney Barry Goldberg and assistant answered my questions whenever had any, I was comfortable knowing I was dealing with an attorney of integrity and handled business the way I would have. As far as keeping me informed the only issue with that is often times I would have to contact the office and see where things were and or needed but overall I would still say he is excellent and per my friends if im saying it, you can definitely believe it!

Insurance conundrum
I had a issue with my insurance company and wasn't sure what was legally required by me. I consulted Barry and he provided straight forward legal advice. He explained the laws as they pertained to my situation and provided clear concise information on how to deal with the issue. My situation was probably an easy legal problem but Barry set my mind at ease.

The Best possible lawyer you can get!
After several Horrible experiences with Lawyers in the past, I was convinced the only thing WORSE than a Lawyer is a Politician. I was OVERJOYED with the entire experience and professionalism of Mr. Goldberg. He and his staff exceeded all my expectations. He fought for me and treated me with respect and dignity. He fought hard for me and got the BEST POSSIBLE settlement. I would rate him 6 stars out of 5...plus I hear he's a pretty darn good Trombone player. If you need a Lawyer, call Barry P. Goldberg.

Allstate? - You better pray your in Barry Goldberg's hands!
Almost after a year of trying to resolve a case where I was rear-ended, a friend highly recommended Barry Goldberg. I wish I had done this a year ago, it would have saved me a lot of time and grief. Barry was so helpful in answering questions that I had previously been given ambiguous answers to. He took his time explaining the case and putting it into layman's terms but most importantly, gave me the confidence to move forward! I feel confident knowing that I am finally in good hands. Thank you Barry!

Honest Attorney
Last year, I was involved in a car accident and not knowing much about auto insurance, I found out that I was under-insured, meaning I carried the minimal policy but I owed the difference exceeding in damages. I was not sure of the events to happen as this was my first car accident ever and I put up a question on this site as I was unsure of what the outcome will be. Barry was the first attorney to answer and gave me some comforting advice on the events to happen in my case, giving me the will to fight and anticipate what is going to happen, in my case. His advice was free of charge and I appreciate his experience and honesty. He concluded that legal counsel would not be necessary in my case.

"In the world of personal injury litigation and practice we all know the real attorneys who do good work vs. those who are just in it for the quick buck. The quick buck attorneys give personal injury Trial Lawyers a black eye because they cut corners, provide poor representation & do things the rest of us abhor all to put money in their pockets as quickly as possible, usually to the detriment of the client. The good news is there are also attorneys out there, like Super Lawyer Barry Goldberg, who do it the right way and not only help rehabilitate the poor image personal injury attorneys have by his devotion to being the best attorney he can be, which translates to representing his clients very well, but also furthers our collective efforts in making sure the system works for those who are injured.
