Jay Goldberg is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, receiving his college degree magna cum laude.

He was acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, Special Attorney and Counselor to the United States Department of Justice, Washington D.C., Assistant District Attorney, New York County.

He is the author of Preparation and Trial of Criminal Cases within the Second Circuit, (2009).

In a poll conducted by New York magazine, selected lawyers and judges were asked to answer this question: “Who Are Manhattan's Most Powerful, Talented, and Fearsome Prosecutors and Defenders?” The survey resulted in this statement:

“Goldberg is a lawyer's lawyer, a defense attorney whom colleagues and prosecutors alike cite as exemplary of the mix of qualities that make a lawyer effective.”

The consensus, as reported in the survey, was that:

“Goldberg is the best trial lawyer in town.”

In Zuckerman's Vengeance Is Mine (MacMillan) the author wrote “Goldberg held a reputation as the city's best and brightest trial lawyer. He had mastered a style of cross-examination that left witnesses gasping for breath; he had an energetic, courtly manner with a jury and a style of summation of such eloquent fury that one could almost lose sight of anything his opponent had proven.”
