About Matthew
Matthew Goldberg received his undergraduate degree in history and political science from Washington University in St. Louis in 2005. He went on to earn his J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 2009. Those years on two different campuses shaped his approach to legal research and argument. He left law school equipped to practice in California and to take on the procedural demands of state litigation.
After graduating, Goldberg began his career practicing law in California. Over time he gravitated toward roles that required careful attention to procedure and client counseling. His path led him to Davis Wang, where he has worked on a range of matters that come before state courts and administrative bodies. Colleagues describe him as methodical; clients have relied on him for steady guidance through complex schedules and filings.
Goldberg’s working methods emphasize clear analysis and courtroom preparedness. He spends time assembling factual records and mapping out procedural options early in a matter. That approach helps frame disputes and identify practical next steps. He has experience managing discovery, preparing pretrial motions, and handling hearings. He also advises clients on regulatory processes and compliance questions that intersect with litigation.
In the office Goldberg balances casework with client communication. He aims to keep clients informed without overwhelming them with technical detail. He prefers concise explanations of legal risk and the likely timeline for key events. Outside the courtroom he participates in strategy sessions and coordinates with experts when technical or specialized testimony is needed.
Colleagues say Goldberg values solid preparation. He is known for thorough briefs and for anticipating procedural snags before they arise. That attention to detail is a regular part of how he evaluates a case and plans next steps. His academic background in history and political science informs the way he frames legal narratives and assesses precedent.
He now practices at Davis Wang, working on matters that arise in California courts and before state agencies.
