Daily Journal names, Nathan Goldberg One of California’s Top 10 Plaintiff’s Employment Lawyers.

Mr. Goldberg, a partner at Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, graduated summa cum laude from Loyola Law School in 1974.

In October 2006 a Ventura County jury awarded $18 million to Mr. Goldberg’s client, James Stevens, a Vons clerk who was fired after complaining that a female supervisor sexually harassed him.

Mr. Goldberg has a broad range of trial experience in state and federal court. Most recently, Mr. Goldberg was lead trial counsel in both the case of Adams v.

In another well-known case, Mr. Goldberg represented Sandra Bardenilla, a nurse wrongfully terminated after reporting the misconduct of two doctors at Kaiser Permanente Hospital. The jury awarded Ms. Bardenilla compensatory and punitive damages.
