			'''Tom Goldberg''' is a character in the [[HD Universe]] who appears as a minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. He is the co-founder of [[Goldberg, Ligner and Shyster]] with [[Dick Shyster]] and [[Larry Ligner]]. He is voiced by [[Jonathan Hanst]].

	~~'''~~Tom Goldberg~~'''~~ is ~~a character~~ in ~~the~~ [[~~HD Universe~~]] ~~and is~~ a lawyer at [[~~Goldberg~~, ~~Ligner and Shyster~~]] in [[~~Grand Theft Auto IV~~]]. He is ~~only featured in the mission~~ [[~~Final Interview~~]] ~~where~~ [[~~Niko Bellic~~]] ~~is sent by~~ [[~~Francis McReary~~]] to ~~kill Goldberg~~ and ~~retrieve~~ a ~~document~~.		==Character history==
			Tom Goldberg is, in [[2008]], a highly successful lawyer, specializing in fields like antitrust and product liability. As detailed in his law firm's [[goldberglignerandshyster.com\|website]], he came into prominence after suing a [[Betta Pharmaceuticals]] CEO over minor debts, and has since brought frivolous lawsuits against countless [[BAWSAQ]] 500 companies. He is a corespondent for [[Weazel News]] (even though [[publiclibertyonline.com\|PLO.com]] implies that he's a liberal) and the [[Daily Globe]]. In his spare time, he runs the charity "[[Goldberg's Guys]]", in which Goldberg himself teaches disadvantaged boys to swim and hands out food to the homeless every quarter (though he makes sure he's followed by a television camera crew).

Goldberg was planning to run for congress, according to GTA IV's official website and [[Francis McReary]]'s dialogue with [[Niko Bellic]]. Goldberg suggests that he has files that, after he takes them to the DA, could ruin Francis' career. Francis, however, can not touch Goldberg who has his own bodyguard and so has Niko go for an interview. While in Goldberg's office for the interview, Niko kills him and retrieves the files. After his death, his partner [[Dick Shyster]] tells the [[Liberty Tree]] that he will take over most of his cases.
