I recently had the privilege of working with Mr . Steve Goldberg, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was exemplary, marked by a high degree of professionalism and a profound sense of humanity.
From our first meeting, it was clear that Mr. goldberg operates at the pinnacle of professional standards. The team demonstrated an impressive depth of legal knowledge specially Christina, ensuring that we were well-informed about all aspects of my case. They meticulously explained each step of the process, ensuring that I felt confident and well-prepared. Their strategic approach was evident, showcasing a thorough understanding of the intricacies of the law and an ability to navigate complex legal issues with ease.
What truly set Goldberg Legal apart, however, was their genuine human touch. In a field often perceived as impersonal and detached, they brought a refreshing level of empathy and compassion. They took the time to listen to my concerns, understand my situation, and provide tailored advice that truly reflected my needs. This personalized approach made a significant difference, not only in the outcome of my case but in alleviating the stress and anxiety often associated with legal proceedings.
In summary, MR. goldberg exemplifies what it means to be not just a great lawyer, but a great advocate and ally. His blend of professional excellence and heartfelt compassion is rare and invaluable. I am incredibly grateful for their assistance and would wholeheartedly recommend Goldberg Legal to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation.
Special thanks to Christina that sweetly handled our frustration and always filled us with joy and comfort.

After 2 years From credit being ruined because of when I was out of work with having to use credit cards just to pay bills, to thinking I would be getting something back for time and suffering including back pay I lost for missing work. None of that really mattered in the end. I should’ve forced myself to work because I wouldn’t of been out any money for that long. I regret not going with another attorney. They also made a crucial mistake in my case. I had told them all my information at the beginning that my son had Medicare and I had Cigna and my son was in car with me. For most of the time of dealing with my case he had me as having Medicare.
UPDATE 1/20/2022
This is the message I received today from Podor Law Offices. “Good morning, I reviewed your file because we’re going to place it into storage. We keep files for seven years. I’m happy that the case ended to your satisfaction. Although we had to file a lawsuit to protect the statute of limitations I did not charge you the 40% attorney fee instead as a courtesy I only charged the pre suit fee of 33 1/3%. I’d appreciate it if you could remove the negative google review or even better give us a good one. Your call.
If you ever need advice in the future I do that as a courtesy. For example if you or someone in your family gets a traffic ticket I will be happy to give some free advice. Thanks again. “
I was only happy I received a check finally because anything aside from nothing was badly needed but I was not satisfied and never gave them the impression I was satisfied.
So decided to Update this review to 3 stars still not 5 star service to me in the least bit my credit is still ruined and I still waited forever for them to even acknowledge my case and they had inaccuracies due to not being attentive and only dealing with me when they had too. I don’t know if they take on too many cases or just don’t care about small cases. I didn’t receive any updates until I left a negative review on them. That should raise a red flag. I finally received a payout after more than 2 years since the accident where the other woman was at fault and they made it seem like they did me a favor for not charging me extra due to them having to file so the case didn’t go past the statute of limitations. Or they could’ve been attentive and got the case done way beforehand? When I did the math, they received more money on the payout than I did in the check and I guess I should be grateful I got anything. If I had to do it all over again I would’ve went with a different law firm. Do your research and tread carefully.
