About Jeffrey A. Goldberg Law · San Antonio
The Law Office of Jeffrey A. Goldberg is a San Antonio-based solo employment law firm exclusively representing employees and executives in workplace disputes across Texas. Founded by Jeffrey A. Goldberg in 1995, the firm focuses 100% on labor and employment law — from sexual harassment and wrongful termination to wage-and-hour disputes, severance negotiations, and non-compete agreements. Jeffrey Goldberg is Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell (held by only ~1% of attorneys), and has been named a Texas Super Lawyer, Best Lawyers in America, and Best Lawyers in Texas repeatedly since 2010. The firm maintains offices in San Antonio and Austin and offers a free confidential case evaluation plus paid in-depth consultations.
The Law Office of Jeffrey A. Goldberg has represented Texas workers and executives in labor and employment matters since 1995, when Jeffrey A. Goldberg founded the firm after cutting his teeth as a litigator at Foster Heller & Kilgore (1990-1995) and an associate at Thornton Summers Biechlin Dunham & Brown (1989-1990). The firm is intentionally niche: Goldberg represents employees and executives only — never employers — so his advocacy is never split between management and labor. His practice runs the full gamut of employment law: sexual harassment, race/color/national origin/gender/age/disability discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower claims, wrongful termination, overtime and wage disputes, EEOC and TWC claims, severance package review and negotiation, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, executive contracts, and government fraud / qui tam matters. Goldberg is one of the few Texas employment lawyers to hold Board Certification in Labor and Employment Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (an honor held by less than 10% of Texas attorneys) and has held an AV Preeminent peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell continuously since 1999. The firm's San Antonio principal office sits at 15303 Huebner Road, Building 13, with a secondary Austin location at 100 Congress Ave by appointment, allowing the firm to serve clients throughout the State of Texas in State and Federal court, plus private arbitrations and mediations. New callers can request a free, confidential case evaluation online; in-depth consultations up to one hour with the attorney are also available for a fee. The firm is rated 4.9 / 5.0 on Avvo (32 reviews, mostly 5-star) and maintains an A+ Better Business Bureau rating.
