FIRM OVERVIEW

Korean is spoken

The Law Offices of Fred B. Goldberg is a civil litigation law firm dedicated to aggressively representing clients who are physically injured by others’ negligent acts or economically injured by professional negligence such as medical, dental or legal malpractice.

Since 1981 we have represented individuals and small businesses before the courts of the District of Columbia and throughout the State of Maryland.  We have also appeared in federal courts in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia and before Appellate courts including D.C., Maryland, Federal 4th Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States of America. 

We take our responsibility to our clients seriously.  We know that clients have a wide variety of choices when they hire an attorney and when they retain us they are placing their trust and confidence in our ability and our judgment.  We try to place ourselves in the client’s shoes and offer both advice and counsel with regard to our clients’ interests.  We try to be both efficient and responsive.  We always return telephone calls and emails within 24 hours.  We also pride ourselves on providing useful information to our clients as it is obtained so clients are involved in decisions that affect their cases.  We try to help our clients to decide when it is in their best interests to settle a claim or go to trial. 

Fred B. Goldberg is a graduate of the University of Maryland and the John Marshall Law School of Chicago.  He began his career as a consumer advocate with the National Consumer Law Center, a low-income consumer advocacy group connected with Howard University and funded through the Office of Economic Opportunity.  He worked as an Aid to Congressman Benjamin S. Rosenthal of New York, arguably the father of consumer protection in the US House of Representatives.  He worked as an Attorney-Advisor to Esther Peterson, then Special Assistant for Consumer Protection under President Jimmy Carter.  In that position, Fred B. Goldberg was responsible for creating and establishing the Inter-Agency Litigation Project, called by Ralph Nader, “the most important thing that office has ever done.”  After the White House, Fred B. Goldberg served as General Counsel to the District of Columbia Office of Consumer Protection, where he was responsible for the largest settlement in the history of that office. 

When he entered private practice of law, Fred B. Goldberg continued working with state and national consumer organizations.  He was General Counsel to the National Association of Statute Utility Consumer Advocates, Special Counsel to AARP, and to the Peoples Counsel of Maryland, Public Advocate of Florida, and the New York State Consumer Protection Board. 

In 1989 when his first son was born, Fred B. Goldberg opted to slow down his travel schedule and transformed his practice into a local based practice representing individuals and small businesses in litigation aimed at restoring fundamental fairness to transactions and obtaining compensation for victims of negligence such as automobile accidents, slips and falls, unsafe products and professional negligence such as medical malpractice, dental malpractice and legal malpractice.  He has been a member of DC Trial Lawyers Association, DC Bar Association, Maryland State Bar Association, Montgomery County Bar Association, American Association for Justice and the Brain Injury Association.

His hobbies include ballet, horticulture, bicycle riding and tennis.
