Cannabis law and business organizations also appear among the practice areas on his attorney profile. Goldburd studied accounting at Brooklyn College, earning a Bachelor of Science and graduating magna cum laude. He received his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law, where his training included service as a student-attorney in the university’s Tax Clinic.
