Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley to Welcome New Incoming President to the Maryland Association for Justice

Installation for Silver Spring Attorney Kevin I. Goldberg Set for Friday Evening, May 8, at Baltimore's Tremont Grand

Baltimore, M.D. (MMD Newswire) May 6, 2009 -- Emerging from a star-studded lineup of several dozen qualified candidates, Kevin I. Goldberg, a founding partner at Silver Spring-based Goldberg, Finnegan & Mester, LLC, has been named incoming President of the Maryland Association for Justice for 2009-2010.

Just 38 years old, Goldberg, will be the second-youngest serving president of the Columbia, MD-based organization, formerly known as the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association. His formal installation takes place this Friday evening, May 8, at the Tremont Grand, 225 N. Charles Street, in Baltimore. Festivities begin at 7:00 p.m., with Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley serving as keynote speaker.

According to Goldberg, his selection marks a major milestone in his young career. "I look forward to working with my fellow trial lawyers to ensure that citizens throughout the state continue to enjoy unfettered access to both the courts and a civil justice system that provides a viable framework to allow ‘the little guy' to stand up to big corporations and insurance companies," Goldberg says. "This concept forms the basic foundation upon which the Maryland Association for Justice is built; and our firm wholly subscribes to the association's overall mission and philosophy."

The Association is also extremely active in numerous public service projects, on which Goldberg expects to play both an active and creative role. "As an organization, we buy and distribute bike helmets to children; purchase and distribute educational supplies for disadvantaged schools; we buy, distribute and install smoke detectors in low income neighborhoods in conjunction with the Baltimore City Fire Department; and we buy turkeys for the hungry at Thanksgiving time," he says. "It's an organization that does a ton of good in the community, and I'm excited about putting my stamp on some of those programs."

In previous years, Goldberg founded the Association's New Lawyer's Section, served as Fundraising Chair, served on the Trial Reporter Committee and served as Parliamentarian, Secretary, Treasurer and Vice President.

From 2007 through 2009, he was profiled by Super Lawyers Magazine for his selection among the top five percent of practicing attorneys in a peer review and evaluation process conducted by Law & Politics. He also served as an Associate Editor of The Catholic University Law Review, from where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1996. In 1993, Goldberg received the American Jurisprudence Award for Constitutional Law and Civil Procedure.

In his practice, Goldberg represents seriously injured children and adults in automobile collisions, medical negligence, premises liability, negligent security and general tort litigation.
