He fought hard for my case and I feel as though I ended up with the best possible results…very good lawyer.

I had 5 years fighting a case and thanks to Golburgh law charges were dropped. After all that time now i'm free thanks to Golburgh law.

First off I wanna say!! The best money you can invest in! Lloyd is very aggressive in getting results for his client.... very communicative treats you like family unlike some law firms. if I could give 20 stars I would... I had another lawyer on my case, waste of time in money!!! Unlike Lloyd very honest & reasonable 1000% Recommend. Save time and headache looking for the best lawyer money can buy. Lloyd Goldberg is the one. Thanks again buddy!

I have used Mr. Golburgh on three different issues in the past year that I needed help with including needing advice in a bad accident and a ticket and more, he went out of his way to always answer my calls and text messages and was there when I needed an attorney the most. I would highly recommend him and continue to use him if ever needed. Thanks again Mr. Golburgh for your professional advice and help as I needed a great attorney and I found one. I have used Mr. Golburgh on three different issues in the past year that I needed help with including needing advice in a bad accident and a ticket and more, he went out of his way to always answer my calls and text messages and was there.

I wish I would have reached out to Mr. Golburgh earlier. The first law firm I paid butchered my case. My previous reputation never updated me and I went in blind every time to court. Mr. Golburgh kept me informed, he called/texted constantly with updates and let me know what needed to be done. I appreciate what this firm has done for me and highly recommend. I wish I could give more stars. This law firm knows what they are doing and no one in southeast Florida should use a different law firm for a DUI. Thank you again. Eternally grateful.

If you're looking for an honest lawyer, Lloyd Golburgh is the man for the job. He's straight forward in the way that he looks out for your best interest. Couldn't have chosen a better lawyer to not just handle my case, but befriend. Thank you Golburgh Law Group!

My husband and I were referred to Lloyd by another attorney in the Atlanta area where we live. We strongly recommend him for all your legal needs. He was informative and provided us with confidence that an “innocent hardworking man” doesn’t always lose! Our case was dismissed. We can’t thank you enough!

Lloyd was extremely professional and courteous, always replied to our emails, always on point and most of all super straightforward with his fees, I would recommend his services 100%.

Lloyd I can’t thank you enough you are the man! It's been a long grueling journey and fight but in the end we prevailed.After last Friday I do have faith in our judicial system and I do believe there is hope for good fathers everywhere out there!

Very pleased with the communication and the time and work he not only gave to me but on my case. Best Lawyer I've ever had and would 100% refer him not only for Family Law but Criminal as well.

Lloyd was extremely helpful with a legal matter I had. He answered all of my questions and basically took care of everything. Very thankful I contacted him to help me on this.

I felt like he was a support partner beyond the law. Quick responses to text messages (and this method of communication fits my lifestyle) and he followed up often if not daily. Would keep him on my side for a multitude of things (just in case). I'd recommend for sure hands down.

I’ve had Golburgh Law handle multiple cases for me over the last few years. Always helpful and professional with great service.

A friend of mine referred me to Mr. Golburgh and I'm so happy I reached out to him. He walked me through the process of my case, answered all my questions and was incredibly patient with me. I was unsure of the outcome but he was able to get me a better result than what I had originally hoped for. I would highly recommend Golburgh Law.

Mr.Golburgh Did An Amazing Job On My Case. Very Professional And Always Kept Me Informed. I highly Recommend Him.

Highly recommend!! So quick and efficient. I had an issue hanging over me for years and it took 2 months to fix the problem and the case was dismissed! He's fantastic.

Lloyd is an amazing attorney. Highly recommend.

Super prepared, very diligent, and understands the minutiae in the case as well as the 360 degree view...Thanks again!!!

Very pleased with Lloyd's services. has his clients best interests in mind, he's very prompt and informative. He got me exactly what I hired him for. highly recommend his services to anyone.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness.

Attorney Golburgh is excellent to work with and brings tons of experience which is vital for quick resolution of a case. He is proactive and always a phone call away for his clients. You will feel a sense of assurance while working with him. I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for quick and easy settlement of separation cases.

I want to thank LLOYD GOLBURGH for helping me with my case. He is a very responsible, attentive, and a person that you can trust with your eyes closed with any case.

If you hire Lloyd you will rest assured he is all over your case. He will call every Monday morning to keep you up to date on whatever motions or hearings are upcoming. He pays attention to details. My baby's mothers legal rep looked clueless while talking to Lloyd. I never even went to trial because my case was so good. baby mama knew she was gonna lose. Thanks Lloyd!!!!

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start and how to emphasize just how much Mr. Golburgh has done for my family and myself over the years. I was given Mr. Golburgh's name through a former work colleague as I had relocated and was no longer residing in the area. From start to finish he was knowledgeable, beyond reasonable and most importantly honest; I also think it is important to relay that he is not only reliable but responsive as well. Being in the loop and following up means so much when dealing with the stress and worries of daily life and not having to worry about your divorce proceedings and if you’re well represented or not. This review is the very least that I can do because I wholeheartedly believe this man is a certified gift from above. My children and I thank him. You won’t be disappointed.

While no one wishes to find themselves in a custody case, I want to express my Gratitude towards you Mr Golburgh for your hard work and top notch professionalism during the time you handled my case. You made it so simple and gave me confidence, it was definitely a relief to have you as my attorney. Whoever is reading this review trust me he is the best of the best don’t hesitate to contact him as your attorney.

I was introduced to Attorney Lloyd through Nolo.com and I was beyond impressed with his timely and effective communication in assisting me. My case was somewhat hopeless, sensitive, and very unique to begin with, but he gave me hope the moment we spoke and he believed that victory could be my portion. He took me on immediately as his client in good faith and got to work ASAP and in a matter of weeks he helped me restore my marriage hassle free. Wow! Hence, my overall experience with Attorney Lloyd was impeccable, professional, positive, and indeed worth every penny. So, without hesitation, I'd highly recommend his services and expertise to friends, family, and anyone who's looking for a reliable and honest attorney to work with.

Lloyd was fantastic throughout my experience. He was responsive and helpful with what I needed done. Will call again if I’m ever in need and will recommend to everyone.

Professional. Efficient. Detail oriented. Lloyd Golburgh took my difficult situation and turned it into a simple process. I highly recommend his services.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, for being sensitive to my needs and all the excellent service and advice you have provided me. I definitely recommend you to others. Once again thank you!!!

I have hired Mr. Golburgh twice in the last 10 years for 2 different criminal cases, both of which he was able to get dismissed entirely or reduced. My first case was for drag racing and was immediately thrown out. Quickest court appearance of my life. My second case was unfortunately for an alleged DUI charge, which Mr. Golburgh was able to get reduced to a Reckless Driving. Lloyd has built a strong network and relationships with ADAs, Prosecutors and Judges in South Florida. His reputation precedes him, and that's what you want in a good lawyer. He has the experience and knowledge to help guide his clients to the best resolution given their particular case and situation. Through different publications, cases, and previous verdicts he is well known throughout Florida and revered by other Criminal Defense Attorneys in the state. I personally saw the respect and admiration first hand, and it made me feel super confident in my choice. Lloyd has helped me learn and grow from these experiences, and I appreciate his help and guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Golburgh as a Criminal Defense and Family Law Attorney. Thank you again Lloyd!

Great Lawyer. Lloyd is very professional and knowledgeable. He always kept me updated with the case and helped me through the entire process.

I was referred to Mr. Golburgh through a friend of mine who was very happy with his services. I used his services for some contract work and was extremely happy with him. On top of being very personable, Mr. Golburgh was very on top of things. He always returned my calls within a reasonable timeframe and skillfully executed the contract I needed. He is very knowledgeable in his field. Very highly recommend.

I was referred to Lloyd Golburgh from a business colleague and was very pleased with the services I received. From my first meeting with Lloyd, his professionalism and punctuality by far exceeded my expectations. He responded to all of my questions and concerns either by phone, text, and/or email within a few hours, if not immediately.

THE BEST LAWYER OUT THERE!!!! Thanks to him I am a free man today. He believed in my innocence and did all the background work including visiting the scene of the incident. At jury trial he destroyed the supposed witnesses proving their lies. Later on gave an amazing closing argument. I will of course be using him with my following lawsuits. LLOYD IS THE BEST!!!!!!

Great Guy This guy seems to really care about his clients.He took a deep dive into my case and provided his input when my current attorney could not be reached. Thanks again for your help, Lloyd!

Great Family Law Attorney. If you are in need of a family law attorney Lloyd is great. He did an amazing job handling my divorce and managing my custody situation. Lloyd showed knowledge of the law, experience, and caring, all while being honest and professional throughout. My case was difficult and continued much longer than it should and Lloyd stayed until the end continuing to research, investigate, and litigate motions. He has a great expertise and love of the law which shows in his work and he can handle any family law case presented to him... As a bonus you also get his great wit and funny personality!

Truly Thee Best. Lloyd is honestly the best person to have on your team . He is very attentive , and always answers your questions no matter when or where !!! I’ve had confidence in giving my fights over to him.

Mr. Golburgh is an articulate, procedurally skilled lawyer's lawyer who knows the courtroom and is extremely effective in trial. In my case, he succeeded and won a favorable judgment under circumstances few would have been able to deliver.

The outcome was the truth.

You will be in good hands if you have this firm on your side. We will never go to court again without the Lloyd Golburgh team. Thank you for everything.

Thanks to the great work by Lloyd I was awarded the timeshare with my daughter we both knew I deserved. Forever indebted to him, such a wonderful job he did. Responded to concerns within a few hours no matter what. Very attentive, fairly priced, and genuinely seems as if he cared. Definitely would recommend ! Thanks again Lloyd.

Great Experience! I hired Lloyd to help me with my divorce. Everything went smoothly and his advice and assistance were invaluable. As divorces go, everything went about as well as one could expect. Thanks Lloyd!

Excellent. Lloyd Goldburgh was referred by a friend who said he trusted him. He got me through a difficult time by getting my divorce finalized without a hitch. Now I trust him too. Definitely recommended.

Excellent lawyer. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and polite. Lloyd walked me out though the entire process, explaining each step and my opinion at each point. I appreciate his thoroughness and attention to detail. Very happy with my outcome.

5 Stars. Lloyd Goldberg is very professional and well versed in his craft. Throughout our professional relationship he was on top of all that needed to be done and with my case. I was extremely happy with his work and his commitment to me as his client.

Fast, Efficient, Professional, Patient, Affable! Great experience. Lloyd is everything I could ask for in an attorney: Knowledgeable, efficient, kind, patient, affable, efficient, fairly-priced, accessible, and professional. Highly recommended!

FANTASTIC. He was prompt, professional, reasonably priced. He did what he said he would do and kept my record clean. I would highly recommend him!!!

Honest and hard working attorney. He help me with a dui case and a divorce case very professional. And honest. I recommend him 100%.

Golburgh made me aware of every possible option I had in my case. From the start, he let me know what his recommendations were, but always let the decision up to me. I was helped every step of the way and I am happy to have hired him. In the end, he helped me reduce my charge from a DUI to reckless driving thanks to Golburgh.

Special! I have been divorced three times. I have retired and gone back to lower permanent alimony (FL slave statute!). So when I started my last divorce (again in FL) I initially went with one of the national firms that specializes in representing the male spouse. Big mistake! And it wasn't long before I realized that their goal was to make money out of litigation. So...on a friend's recommendation I went to LLoyd Golburgh. Not only were his fees more reasonable, but his knowledge of the law was better than any of my previous lawyers. And the experience and outcome was the best I have had.

Very Thorough. Lloyd was very thorough and efficient with submitting paperwork on my behalf for a copyright violation. His efforts resulted in successfully resolving this important legal matter in a very timely manner.

The Integrity Lawyer. My experience with attorney Golburgh was not only one of complete satisfaction but a real eye opener to just how much work attorneys do and the extremes they go through to get the job done. What I'm about to say may come as a surprise, but there was never an occasion that I could not get in touch with my attorney and he could not get in touch with me. There was never an occasion where I was left second guessing if I was getting accurate council. We even talked over the cellular phone before an actual office visit. His knowledge completely excelled my expectations. I was never kept in the dark about any matters, especially the cost associated with my divorce case. I got constant written updates directly from him, not a secretary or a paralegal concerning fees. I was shocked when I had a credit of about $300.00 and he actually asked me where did he want to mail the check. I know, that sounds hard to believe in relation to an attorney. Attorney Golburgh is about his clients being completely satisfied and all matters resolved legally. Issues that seemed unsolvable was of no effort for him. We the consumer often expect things to be done like (now) but that's just not reality. If you want your case to be handled properly, there is a time factor associated with it. My case involved child support and because I did not exercise wisdom and get a real attorney from the start, for almost 3 years I was paying $1, 352.00 monthly including alimony. The Integrity Lawyer, Lloyd Golburgh took my case and the end result is about $450.00 monthly and no alimony. In addition, my case was being held up by the respondent and he council for almost 3 years and it took Attorney Goldburg about only about 8 months and that's starting from the beginning to bring my case to a close. That was amazing. If I had to hire an attorney for anything or recommend an attorney for anything, it will be the Integrity Lawyer, Lloyd H. Golburgh.

I hired Lloyd for DUI defense. This was my experience with him: I saw that Lloyd Golburgh knows the law in Florida extremely well. He knows the people in the court system, and he knows how that system works as well as how to make it work in my situation. I believe you can have confidence that he will advise you toward the path that offers the best possible outcome for you. He did for me. Combined with the professionalism of Mr. Golburgh are the personal skills and support that are part of the manner in which he deals with clients. I knew he was on my side, not just there to collect a fee. And I always knew he was available and that I could get in contact with him easily and that he would be timely about returning my calls. Finally, Lloyd didn't make commitments he couldn't keep. He didn't mislead me. I recommend him highly to those in need of the services he offers.

I was referred to Lloyd Golburgh from a business colleague and was very pleased with the services I received. From my first meeting with Lloyd, his professionalism and punctuality by far exceeded my expectations. He responded to all of my questions and concerns either by phone, text, and/or email within a few hours, if not immediately. He seemed to really care about what was best for me and my children and made the whole process endurable. Divorce is never an easy option, but if you find yourself in that situation I would highly recommend Lloyd Golburgh!

Very Knowledgeable and Helpful. I worked with Lloyd Golburgh on a DUI case involving my son. Lloyd was very helpful in getting my son and I through this complicated process. When I had questions he answered every question and provided every detail I needed to know. And did I have a lot of questions, Lloyd is very knowledgeable about every aspect of the law and how the court system works. He has a very good rapport with the court house officials which makes the process run a lot smoother. At one point I needed to get a document from the courthouse. I moved 300 miles away so I could not just drive down to the courthouse. Lloyd picked up the document and had it sent to me overnight. This saved me a lot of trouble. If you need a good, understanding, compassionate and very knowledgeable attorney that will do everything he can do to help you with your case then you should contact Lloyd Golburgh.

Excellent lawyer. Lloyd is in the process of handling my case, and even though the end result has not happened, his attention to my case and to the details already instills great confidence in hiring him. He's been professional from the onset, I highly recommend him to anyone seeking his services.

One of the few lawyers with actual ethics! Mr. Golburgh represented me and was honest above all but also very professional and actually cared about me as a human being. I would highly recommend him for any trial needs!

Highly recommended great lawyer. Lloyd represented me through a dui/reckless driving case and was always responsive and up to date with what was going on and what I needed to do throughout the process. It would have been impossible to do any of this myself and with his help it made the process very smooth with a good outcome. I highly recommend Lloyd to anyone in a similar situation.

EXCELLENT LAWYER. I am very glad for have hired Lloyd, always kept me informed, quick answers via e mail or text message even when he was out in vacation. Totally passionate for his profession, turned my mess in to a wining case, very surprising victory and I am very happy for his help and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a very honest lawyer.

Great defense attorney. Used Mr Golburgh for a DUI case where I blew just below the limit in florida. I'm an RN and can't afford to be in any trouble . His reassuring manner on the first visit was all I needed and hired him instantly. The case was resolved on a technicality - as he quickly found faults with the case. I was very pleased with his services and would recommend him to anyone in need of a good attorney especially in traffic DUI matters. He's always been very approachable and reachable when I had questions.

Highly Recommended! Lloyd is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend him for anyone that should find themselves in need of his services. I had already consulted with a couple of other attorneys before meeting him, but I am so glad that I chose him to represent me. He is very straight forward, and professional. He always kept me informed, without me having to call him. He made no false promises, and worked very hard to get my charges reduced. I am finally getting my life back! Thank you Lloyd!!!

Awesome! Thank you so much for all you did. As I said before " You are the bomb!" 🙂 Couldn't be happier w/ how you handled my case.

THE BEST LAWYER IN SOUTH FLORIDA!!! Dear Lloyd, While young my father once shared the following piece of priceless advice with me. He said, “If you want a shot at a successful life, make sure you find a great doctor, accountant and lawyer.” Little did I know back then the wisdom in his words. The predicament I found was quite daunting. On November, 2008 I was pulled over for a suspected DUI. I was facing the possibility of losing my license, my job and the prospect of serving time in jail. To complicate matters, I was also going thru a difficult divorce at the time. That’s where you stepped in and took over, Lloyd. Out of the gates I knew I was in good hands with your knowledge of the law, your confidence and your experience. But these attributes, while required in a good attorney, aren’t what differentiated you in my mind. It was the combination of your courtroom command, the respect that you had of your peers (both the prosecution and the judge) and your overall mastery of psychology that ultimately won the day. What I witnessed was flawless execution of your courtroom strategy with artful skill (things that just can’t be taught at any law school or textbook). You even took all of my calls and text messages throughout the process, always making the time to get me to relax. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that. My father was right, Lloyd, a great attorney, makes all the difference in the world. My suspected DUI was reduced to a ‘Reckless Driving’ even though my BAC was over the legal limit. Nicely done – no jail time, no loss of job and no suspension of my driving privileges. I would be writing this letter whether I had won or lost, because you did a remarkable job I will forever be indebted to you. I was treated with nothing but respect, and I always felt that I was a priority. You are truly amazing and I appreciate all that you have done for me and letting me return to my life. Again thank you for everything, all your hard work is acknowledged and appreciated. I will happily recommend you to others should I have the opportunity. Saying “thank you” doesn’t express my appreciation or gratitude for the understanding and encouragement you have given me. Sincerely, Jorge.

Thank you over and over! Lloyd was a pleasure to deal with from day 1. He was able to help me with my case and I am grateful for the time he spent on it. Money was never an issue for him and he worked out a great payment plan so I could balance it into my life. I would highly recommend Lloyd if you are in need of an honest lawyer that will help you through a tough time. He is well respected amongst his peers and very easy going to make you feel comfortable. He has a great knowledge of the system and our rights. Thank you again for all your help, Lloyd!

GREAT ATTORNEY AND VERY CARING, NUMBER 1 ATTORNEY. We want to thank Mr. Lloyd Golburgh for winning our son's case. He believed in him and that made a difference in the case we believe. He is very up front and tells you like it is and that was very important to us.

The Best Lawyer Out There!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to him I am a free man today. He believed in my innocence and did all the background work including visiting the scene of the incident. At jury trial he destroyed the supposed witnesses proving their lies. Later on gave an amazing closing argument. I will of course be using him with my following lawsuits. LLOYD IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

Great defense attorney (dui). Lloyd helped me win my dui case. He was knowledgeable and responsive. He took his time to build a strong defense which ultimately led to an acquittal.

Outstanding lawyer. Lloyd is an outstanding attorney, and in a difficult position got charges dismissed, unfounded, and sealed for me. Lloyd responded to phone calls, emails, and text messages, if not immediately, which was majority of time, then within 24 hrs. Very knowledgeable, outstanding experience, and very sincere. I would not hesitate to have Lloyd as representation in the future if ever needed. His determination, and approach to handling my case was greatly appreciated by not only myself, but my family as well.

Great Service. Mr. Golburgh represented me in a very difficult case which he won for me. He is professional and staff second to none. I highly recommend Lloyd Golburgh.

Happy client; Great Lawyer. I don't usually write reviews. but lloyd deserves high praise. he was the only lawyer i met who asked me about my case before asking me for money. he was truly interested in my side of the story and worked with me to establish my defenses. he was excellent at answering my questions and returning my calls (though often with texts and emails, but always within a day). Needless to say he won my case and I couldn't be more grateful for his representation.

Excellent job in my DUI defense, used Lloyd twice and found to be very knowledgeable and creative.

Great Experience.. Lloyd was very professional and knowledgeable. Whenever I hear that someone has a DUI case, I always recommend Lloyd. He is the best!

Traffic ticket expertise. Mr. Golburgh was able to swiftly and deftly eliminate a bogus traffic citation issued to me by a local municipality known to be not the most respected PD in Broward County. The ticket was dismissed because of Mr. Golburghs keen insight into the law and concise plan of action.

Kind and Caring. Working with Mr. Golburgh was a very comforting experience. He seemed to really care about me and my family. I had contracted another lawyer a fews years ago and he barely called me. I had to constantly call to ask for updates. Mr Golburgh always kept me informed of the laws and my options. He won my case for me in the end.

Very knowledgeable, excellent criminal defense lawyer. surprised by his honesty.
