OUR NEUTRALS

Retired Federal Bankruptcy Judge

After 20 years of service, Judge Goldberg retired from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 9th Circuit, Central District of California, where he handled all types of bankruptcy related issues including but not limited to class actions involving multiple insurance coverage issues, complex commercial matters involving real estate, banking/lending, title insurance, collateralized debt obligations, securities, patent and copyright issues. On the bench, Judge Goldberg earned a reputation with both the bench and the bar as the “go-to” guy for mediation of all bankruptcy related matters. During the year since his retirement, he utilized his people skills exploring new avenues of service such as hospice care, teaching and working with children. All the while his passion for mediation has remained front and center so much so that it led to him teaching an advanced course in mediation. He found it so invigorating, he ultimately decided to serve the community as a private mediator. Judge Goldberg has been a featured speaker about bankruptcy, transportation, real estate and family law, plus mediation and effective communication skills. He was a panel speaker at the International Conference of Judges sponsored by World Bank and Pepperdine University at which over 40 nations were present. Many of our clients who have worked with Judge Goldberg over the years have commented that although their experience with him as a mediator was through the bankruptcy court, his skills are obvious to all and translate well into all other areas of civil litigation. One noted, “He is simply an excellent mediator.”
