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.
Goldberg is a highly successful lawyer, specializing in fields like antitrust and product liability. As detailed in his law firm's 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 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 website in real life and Francis McReary's dialogue with Niko Bellic.
After his death, his partner Dick Shyster tells the Liberty Tree that he will take over most of his cases.
