Testimonials

I believe in what Goldberg does so much that I asked him to go behind the scenes with me and contribute a chapter to my book. That’s how much trust I place in his insight and his work. You’ll find him right alongside Willie Nelson and Darrell Royal — people I consider legends in their fields. I worked with Goldberg on cases where the stakes were as high as they come, and I can tell you: he has a gift for cutting through noise, finding the truth that matters, and shaping it into a story a jury can believe in. Rick doesn’t just consult — he partners with you, and he makes your fight his fight. That’s rare, and it’s why I count him in the same company as the greats.

Our office retained Rick Goldberg and his crew in a complex litigation matter. We needed advice and a new approach in analyzing the case materials and the positions of the parties. I respect someone with 32 years of diverse litigation experience, and Rick brings exactly that. He’s not a ‘yes’ man—he’s an outside-the-box thinker who provides insightful evaluations and tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. His focus group research was unique. We were able to further understand the strengths and weaknesses of each side’s case in ways we had not yet  considered. His insights and write-up gave us and the carrier the clarity we needed to position ourselves strategically.

I have known Rick as a friend and jury consultant for more than 20 years. Rick conducted a mock trial giving us a significant insights about how to try the case and what to look for in jurors. He assisted us at voir dire, and ten days later – the jury found in favor of our defendant client, despite it being an extremely plaintiff-friendly venue and a case in which the plaintiff was extremely sympathetic. Rick was a very insightful member of our team, and helped us pull a rabbit out of a hat for our very, very happy client.

Goldberg has a very detailed, integral understanding of litigation—what matters and what doesn’t. Rick loves what he does, takes his job very seriously, and is excellent at it.

Over the past 12 years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with Rick on several cases. His ingenuity in simplifying arguments and finding new ways to persuasively present evidence are complimented nicely by his refining touch. he is an invaluable member of any litigation team.

I utilize Rick Goldberg because he has the uncanny ability to narrowly tailor complex, convoluted fact patterns into themes and issues that prove to be truly dispositive. In both witness prep and focus groups, Rick has demonstrated the ability to recognize troublesome facts and craft a cogent action plan in response. This is why Rick is on my speed dial.

When you take a case to trial, it’s easy to lose perspective. That’s why Rick is so valuable: he helps you see the case as the jury will see it, anticipate what questions the jury will ask, and develop themes that will resonate with them. Rick uses creative and innovative tools and techniques to make you the best advocate for your client that you can be.

Rick is the most well-rounded, insightful, and effective jury and trial consultant I have ever worked with—and continue to work with to this day.

I’ve seen Rick’s ability to prepare witnesses for depositions and trial, but what really stood out to me was a recent two-day mock trial he orchestrated involving five co-defendants, 14 witnesses, and countless moving parts. He kept it on time, on point, and on budget. His insights and analysis were vital in helping us evaluate risk and steer the case where it needed to go. Rick also has a rare talent for distilling complex legal arguments into clear, persuasive messages that juries can genuinely grasp. Combine that with his mastery of cutting-edge trial technology, and you have a consultant who is truly indispensable if you want to stay ahead in the courtroom.

I have worked with a lot of consultants and Rick and his team are the best I have ever worked with. He takes a personal interest in seeing that witnesses are the best they can be. He and his team 1) arm us with ideas on how we can best present our case 2) give incredibly valuable feedback on many levels about the witnesses and our presentations. His ability to turn a witness around in a relatively short period of time is what I believe separates him from other consultants.
