Alan M Greenberg

Alan M. Greenberg, our principal attorney, has been practicing personal injury law for over 28 years. Alan received his BA from Yeshiva University cum laude in 1982, and graduated the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in 1985. Prior to founding Greenberg Law P.C., Alan was a partner at Barton & Zasky, Esq., a leading personal injury plaintiff’s firm, where he honed his trial lawyering skills and built a reputation as a strong and effective advocate for accident victims. In 1996, Alan began his own plaintiff’s personal injury law firm, today’s Greenberg Law P.C., where he continues to represent hundreds of accident victims and their families, zealously fighting for the compensation his clients deserve. Alan’s reputation for excellence is built on his immense experience in both the federal and state courts throughout the State of New York. Alan has tried over 150 cases to verdict, including cases for medical malpractice, municipal liability, wrongful death, premises and product liability, motor vehicle accidents, birth injuries and hospital negligence, to name a few. Alan is widely recognized for accepting--and winning-- difficult cases that other lawyers are too intimidated, or inexperienced, to handle. His trial skills have convinced other attorneys and law firms to retain Alan to handle complicated and lengthy trials. Alan has been recognized by major publications like the New York Times for his skill and expertise as a personal injury attorney. He has been nominated by his peers to the New York Times Super Lawyers every year consecutively since 2010. Alan was also featured in the New York Times three-day article series entitled “Falling Limbs” for his successful $3 Million dollar verdict in Segal v. The City of New York, won on behalf of the family of a woman killed by a felled tree in a thunderstorm. Segal, a groundbreaking New York State case, also included an award, sustained on appeal, of $350, for just 4-8 seconds of conscious pain and suffering, the highest amount ever sustained in New York for the briefest period of pain and suffering.
