About David
David Goldberg is an Orange County attorney who built his practice around family law and county-level bar work. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Riverside, earning a B.A. in Political Science in 1996. He went on to attend the University of San Diego School of Law and received his J.D. in 2000. He became a member of the State Bar of California in 2001 and has maintained that membership since.
Goldberg’s early legal work included time at Stegmeier & Gelbart, LLP, where he was on staff beginning in 2006. He moved to Burch, Coulston & Shepard, LLP in 2011 and then began practicing at The Goldberg Legal Group in 2012. Over that period he handled a variety of matters typical for firms in Orange County, gaining courtroom and negotiation experience along the way. His career path shows steady movement from associate roles into a practice centered on family law.
His professional affiliations reflect his subject-matter interests. He has been a member of the Orange County Bar Association and its Family Law Section since 2006. He also belongs to the American Bar Association and its Family Law Section, and he joined the Orange County Jewish Bar Association in 2013. Between 2017 and 2019 he served on the executive committee of The National Advocates. From 2016 to 2019 he held membership in the American Institute of Family Law Lawyer. Those memberships have kept him connected to local and national developments in family law.
In practice, Goldberg handles divorce, custody, and related financial matters. His approach is pragmatic: he prepares cases for trial but works to resolve disputes through negotiation where possible. Colleagues describe him as thorough in case preparation and focused on clear communication with clients. He has litigated in Orange County courts and worked on settlements outside formal court proceedings.
Outside the office he maintains active involvement in bar activities and occasionally participates in section meetings and local bar events. His work is rooted in the procedural and substantive rules that govern family law in California, and he draws on his years in county bar circles when advising clients. He currently practices at The Goldberg Legal Group, where his current practice focuses on family law matters.
