This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend

I started looking for a lawyer to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit after my husband was killed in a multiple vehicle accident. I interviewed several firms and only felt comfortable after meeting with William Greenberg. He answered all of my questions with ease and was able to explain the entire pr...ocess so that I understood. He constantly kept me updated on the case even when nothing seemed to be happening. Mr. Greenberg has the experience and will fight for every penny you are owed. He not only reached a settlement with the vehicle that caused the accident, but also was able to get additional money from my own insurance company. The quality that impressed me the most about Mr. Greenberg was his compassion toward me. Every time we spoke, he would make sure I was doing okay and was genuinely concerned about me and how I was coping after the death of my husband. I cannot thank him enough for his representation and outcome for my case. I would highly recommend William Greenberg and his firm for your legal needs.

Excellent Service

Unfortunately, I've been involved in a trifecta of accidents. I've used Mr. Greenberg for each one and he has been very helpful in the process. He's very professional but also very personable and I wouldn't trust any other lawyer. I'm very happy with his services and I have recommended him to people ...I know.

Very satisfied

I have used this firm several times over the years and I can say they do not disappoint. Bill Greenberg is an amazing attorney who is extremely knowledgeable with just about any questions we have asked. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I had experience with 2 other law firms and they're not... even close to the satisfaction I received from these lawyers and this firm as a whole , everyone I have sent will agree100% . With anything I had a problem or issue with , they handled it with zero drama. Return phone calls were received in a very fair amount of time and time spent on the phone regarding any questions or concerns were answered without being rushed or "speed talking". When you hang up the phone you clearly know exactly where things stand as far as the questions asked and where your case is going. I recommended them to a family member for a personal injury case and they exceeded their expectations by far. I highly recommend this firm. Case closed and more than happy with the results.
