Biography

Steven M. Goldberg founded the Goldberg Legal Co., LPA litigation firm 33 years ago and has practiced law continuously since. Over the years he has successfully litigated and tried complex civil and criminal matters in U.S District Courts, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and various state courts. Mr. Goldberg has briefed and argued dozens of appeals at the state and federal level including in the Ohio Supreme Court, Carpenter v. Consolidated Rail Corp., 69 Ohio St. 3d 259 (1994). Mr. Goldberg’s areas of practice include medical and hospital malpractice, asbestos-related lung cancer (mesothelioma) lawsuits, pharmaceutical drug litigation, and catastrophic personal injury claims. Steven has been a guest speaker at national litigation summits in medical device and drug campaigns involving DePuy ASR Hip Replacement System Class I Recall and Topamax Litigation.

Mr. Goldberg was recently unanimously voted into the American Board of Trial Advocates. The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) is a prestigious national association of the most respected and experienced trial lawyers and judges.

Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Less than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members. For 5 consecutive years, Goldberg Legal Co.

The legal system is enough of a minefield to begin with. Add in corporate bullies, unqualified doctors, citizens who hurt other citizens, and defense lawyers – all of whom stand to lose money if you win justice – and all of a sudden you have a nightmare situation.

The good news is you are not alone, and you can get legal representation that is equal to the gravity of your case.

Steven was very responsive and reassuring in following up on what he said he would do. The lines of communication were great which made going through our ordeal as easy as could be considering. Ultimately Steven under promised and over delivered and we couldn't be happier with the end result.

Attorney Goldberg, and his legal team Christina and Maureen, deliver superb services. The whole team is very personable, and I always felt welcomed and at ease at their office. When I met with Mr. Goldberg to discuss my case, his priority was to send me to medical experts to help me recover from the injury I sustained. He is knowledgeable and very educated about medical issues, which showed me how compassionate he is. I’m grateful for him because, without his help, I may not have found a treatment for my condition.
