Personal Concern for Injury Survivors and Their Caregivers

"I would like to thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have displayed in representing my son for the past few years. The effort you put into this case is proof of a true professional and also a man with great integrity. I really believe you had the best interest at all times for my son."

Letter from client, March 19, 2007 (quoted here with client's approval).

David Goldin graduated from Stanford Law and Stanford Business Schools as the first student to complete the then new law (JD) and business (MBA) combined degree program at Stanford. He started his legal career in San Diego in criminal law successfully handling jury trials for those who could not afford an attorney in serious felony cases such as rape, robbery and murder, obtaining "not guilty" jury verdicts in these and other cases on behalf of his indigent clients.

In the mid-1970's Mr. Goldin's law practice changed to civil cases. In the 1980's, along with an active business litigation practice, he became interested in brain injury cases. In the 1990's he found those suffering "mild" traumatic brain injuries often did not receive fair compensation in our courts and decided to concentrate on helping survivors of brain injury and their families. Since that time Mr. Goldin has successfully obtained numerous six and seven figure money recoveries for his injury clients.

Mr. Goldin now focuses his law practice on serious brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) injury. His goal is to offer legal services that make a difference by providing attention and resources for the successful treatment and rehabilitation of injury survivors and their families.

Mr. Goldin believes the key to successful legal representation is personal concern for his clients and their caregivers.

"Seriously Outstanding--The Top 5 Percent"

In 2007 and 2008 David Goldin is chosen one of the top lawyers in San Diego in the field of "Personal Injury Plaintiff: General" by Southern California Super Lawyers - San Diego.

Breaking the Silence
on Brain Injury

What do Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Stan Humphries, Eric Lindros, Pat LaFontain, Dale Ernhardt, Jr., Chris Irwin, George Clooney, and probably 20% or more of our troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, have in common? This is an increasingly important question; please take a moment to think about it before reading on.

The Goldins

David Goldin has enjoyed residing and working in San Diego since graduating from law school. He and his wife, Constance (Connie) Cote’ Goldin, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, were married in 1980 and have lived in the Sunset Cliffs area of San Diego since 1985. When they started their family, Connie became a full time homemaker, mother and community volunteer. They have two sons in their 20s.

Connie assists David at his office in several capacities. When David's cases are going to trial, Connie is actively involved in many stages of preparation and support, including focus group presentations, witness management and real time trial feedback. She is largely fluent in Spanish and can help with communication and translation as needed.

David has been actively involved in various community projects, including the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation, to assist brain injury survivors and their families, and the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Recreation Council, to protect the natural cliffs from ongoing erosion. He and Connie have supported many youth organizations and have given their time and assistance to such organizations as Youth Tennis San Diego and Coronado School of Arts. Most recently, they are trying to help the troops returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

In September, 2007, David and Connie and members of the Board of the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation meet with Congressman Bob Filner, Representative of the 51st District, and Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, to discuss how best to assist our returning brain injured troops.
