Hired Law firm 2020-2021Michael has the patience of a saint and the skills and knowledge of a genius. My fiance was facing 37 years and 2 months on some pretty serious charges. From the minute I called Michael, he made sure not on,y my fiance understood completely but that I did as well. I have alot of anxiety and I wasn't going to stop checking and rechecking laws n no matter how insanely annoying I was with Michael with my constant emails, fone calls and text messages, he always reassured me and took the stress off me as well as my fiance. Michael has become a very special friend to our family. My hubby to be ended up with 13.5 years bcuz Michael fought the system on his career criminal status and now I will have my hubby to be home in 8.5 years alive instead of never getting out unless in a pine box. Thank you Michael, you are thee best and worth every penny we paid you!

Hired Law firm 2014-2021Mr.Goldberg represented me and knew exactly what to do. He was straight forward with the whole process. I felt confident he would represent me well, and thats what he did. I felt comfortable talking to him as he guided me through the case. He promised to help with my expungement process, and he kept that promise years later. Now I can proudly say my expungement was granted thanks to Michael Goldberg. I am truly grateful and wish him continuous success. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an expert attorney who will represent them the right way.

Hired Law firm 2019-2020It would be an understatement to say that this firm and in particular Michael Goldberg are simply the best at what they do. I would trust my life with Micheal Goldberg he is that good. "Simply the best" . I faced insurmountable odds and yet Micheal Goldberg persevered relentlessly and convinced the judge to essentially dismiss my case. I don't believe any other lawyer could have obtained this positive a result I highly recommend this firm and Michael Goldberg.

Hired Law firm 2018-2020Michael Goldberg is an outstanding attorney. His knowledge and expertise is hands down the best in North East Ohio. He represented my friend on serious drug charges 3 times and the outcome was successful.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
