    I hired Darryl and paid him in full to take care of any problems that would come when I had police knocking on my door. Well turns out I wasnt in much trouble, but he did make sure I filled his pockets. He isn’t interested in your well being. I felt robbed and played hiring him as an attorney. When it was time to file paper work and show up to court, he wanted another 15k on top of the 10K I had given him weeks prior. For a misdemeanor. Please save yourself time, money, and the stress. Not a man of his word. I wish I had gotten it in writing. I felt robbed doing business with Darryl Goldberg.

    Where do I begin? Simply put: This team did what I hired them to do. If it wasn’t for Darryl and his assistant Jeff, I don’t think I’d be here typing this right now. Darryl truly puts the work into putting you in the best possible position given what your case might be, I know that he did that for me. He doesn’t sugar coat things, if you are looking for a Lawyer that’s going to blow smoke up your a$$ and promise you some fairy tail ending, look elsewhere. Darryl always put the seriousness of my crime into a scope that kept it as real as possible but also provided me with the information and tools I needed to get the best possible outcome when I had to speak at all of my hearings – and it paid off. Darryl & Jeff combined offer something that I would consider “Fire & Ice” Darryl comes in with the fire and the facts, Jeff is much more relaxed but serious – this blend of teamwork made it very easy for me to feel like I was getting all the facts and being prepared but also calm, cool and collected enough to say what I needed to say when I needed to say it. In my situation, per my points – I was looking at 4 years in federal prison. Darryl worked for me and got the government to lower their stance to 18 months, and when sentencing day arrived, Darryl was fully prepared to fight for me and get me the lowest possible sentence. I’m typing this from my home right now, doing 3 years of supervised release. I think that’s all I really need to say. And a word of advice: Darryl isn’t going to magically make everything alright, but what he will do is tell you what you need to do in the meanwhile before interviews and sentencing to get the best outcome possible. DO NOT SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING. This is your chance to prove to the judge that you actually want to turn your life around, don’t waste this time. The more good you do in your life, the more ammunition you are providing Darryl and his team to fight for you.

    Attorney D. Goldberg assisted me in a Criminal Legal proceeding and was able to get all charges dismissed and I was able to avoid a trial. Attorney Goldberg assisted with a great price and legal guidance that is top notch and above board. His legal knowledge and guidance has placed me in a better situation and has helped my career stay on the right path. I recommend Attorney Goldberg to anyone in a legal bind. He is quick, efficient and understandable of all situations. Contact for legal advice and legal guidance ASAP. Highly recommended.

    Got myself into a bit of a jam as a result of a speeding ticket. Darryl came highly recommended by a couple trusted friends. In our first conference I could tell that this was “the guy” and I cancelled my other consults. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and appropriately connected. My case was small potatoes compared to what Darryl normally handles, but he attacked the issue with vigor and did all the legwork necessary to get a favorable result. That included on day of the hearing, escalating to the “bosses” at the courthouse and eventually having a conference with the judge and states attorney to finish things up. Couldn’t be happier with the results!

    Mr. Goldberg was always totally honest with me and very confident my case would turn out in a positive way for me and my family. I f attorney Goldberg didn’t do a great job while working on my case. I would have died in jail he saved my tenuous life!’
