Steven E. Goldberg followed his father into a career of law by joining the Steinberg Law Firm in 1993. As he explains, “Growing up, I was impressed to see my father working hard and his clients being truly thankful for that hard work.”
Now in practice for more than 25 years, Steven has represented clients in cases involving on-the-job injuries and automobile wrecks, and has expanded his practice representing families of those who have had loved ones injured or killed in nursing home neglect. He has been successful in many trial appearances and settlements totaling over several million dollars; most recently, he represented a family whose elderly father died because of a truck driver’s negligence in a case that settled for $3.5 million. The father was rear-ended, and Steven fought the insurance company over the settlement amount when the company tried to use the fact that the driver was 75 years old to say his family shouldn’t receive such a large settlement.
Steven maintains his office in Summerville, and practices law at both the firm’s Broad Street and Goose Creek locations. He is active in the legal community, having served as president of the South Carolina Injured Workers’ Advocates and chairperson of the South Carolina Bar Workers’ Compensation Section. He has served on the board of Governors for the Association for Justice (Trial Lawyers), and has argued Workers’ Compensation cases before the South Carolina Court of Appeals and the South Carolina Supreme Court. He also shares his experience and knowledge regarding workers’ compensation issues with colleagues and the business community members at various seminars.
Active in his community, Steven is a member of KKBE and has served as president of the East Cooper Jewish Community; chair of Operation Home, an organization devoted to making homes safer for lower-income residents; and chair of the Grantmaking and Leadership Committee of the Coastal Community Foundation.
Steven earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida and his law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law.

What Our Clients Say
They took care of everything for me so I could use my energy to heal!
It is the two year anniversary since I was a passenger in a terrifying accident. While the insurance companies fought over who would pay. the medical bills were piling up. What a relief it was to hand over that folder of bills to Steinburg Law Firm. They took care of everything for me so I could use my energy to heal!

- Sharon Levin
I don't believe there is a more professional law firm out there in the state.
I fired my first lawyer because they didn’t make me feel that they working for me, after my m/c accident. I called Steinberg, & Steve Goldberg came over to my home that night. The weight & worry of the world came off my shoulders after Steve left. I just KNEW, I didn’t have to look any further. He was & still is on top of everything. I don’t believe there is a more professional law firm out there in the State. I feel blessed I came across them. When you’re injured, not working, you have ALL the time in the world to sit around & worry. Not the case, with this firm. I would recommend them to anyone. I swear by them.
