ODELIA GOLDBERG
Not Your Boring, Typical Attorney Bio
I don’t particularly love talking (bragging) about myself, so I’ll keep this straightforward and as painless as possible.
I am a Florida attorney with over 20 years of experience, focusing on estate planning, probate, wills, trusts, real estate closings and probate administration. My practice is grounded in helping individuals and families plan clearly, avoid unnecessary court involvement, and make informed legal decisions under Florida law.
Education & Academic Background
I grew up in Dallas, Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin (Hook ‘em Horns!) for my undergraduate studies. I later earned an MBA from SUNY Binghamton, concentrating in Finance and Management Information Systems (MIS), followed by a Certificate in Project Management from George Washington University.
I received my Juris Doctor from Pace University School of Law in 2003, graduating Cum Laude. During law school, I was:
- Selected for Law Review and Moot Court
- Awarded a Merit Scholarship for Legal Writing and Research
- Named a Ranking Scholar
- Placed on the Dean’s List every semester
- (yes, I’m a big nerd!)
Legal & Professional Experience
I began my professional career at IBM, working in corporate roles before transitioning into the legal department. That experience shaped my approach to law as both a legal and operational discipline (the corporate world is a thing!)
In 2003, I established my own private law practice with the goal of providing high-quality, practical legal services. Over the years, I have expanded my practice through the acquisition of multiple law firms, purchasing additional practices in 2013, 2014, 2018, 2019, and 2023.
I have also:
- Passed the United States Patent Bar Exam and am admitted to practice before the USPTO
- Served as an adjunct professor at the University of Miami, teaching Intro to Business
- Ran as a candidate for New York State Senate in 2006
Practice Philosophy (what you came here to know)
My background in law, business, and operations guides my approach to estate planning, real estate and probate law. I focus on clarity, efficiency, and long-term outcomes, helping clients navigate complex legal decisions with confidence and a clear plan in place. We attempt to solve some of your problems (asset protection) so that you can worry about other things.
Of course, all legal content on this website is written by Odelia Goldberg, Florida attorney (I am a scribe afterall).
