COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES

I am an attorney specializing in the representation of employees and employers in labor disputes, including wage, overtime and tip litigation. My clients include workers asserting claims against businesses for unpaid overtime and tips, as well as restaurateurs, business owners, and other employers in need of defense from litigation alleging labor and employment violations. I also represent businesses in unemployment insurance proceedings, and OATH hearings and tribunals. My areas of expertise include negligence and insurance litigation. I represent individuals and businesses in property damage and personal injury matters. I provide coverage opinions and represent insurers in coverage litigation involving many different types of insurance, including bodily injury, property damage, disability, construction, lead paint, automobile, first-party property and personal injury. I defend insurance companies from direct claims by both insured and injured parties. My practice includes criminal defense, such as defense from drug, alcohol, and DUI charges.

Super helpful, honest attorney

In an industry where you can never be sure if your lawyer is being honest to you, Mr. Greben has shown steady guidance with straight forward advice. It is especially helpful for a small business owner where you do not always have all the answers yourself to find a lawyer you can rely on to do a great job and give you insightful comments to navigate the often tricky legal field.

Honest, reliable, knowledgeable and motivated

Attorney Greben was phenomenal. I was wrongfully terminated and googled layers that handle these cases. Although there wasn't much we could do on the wrongful termination, attorney Greben was able to find other areas to pursue compensation and as a result I pocketed 50k. Thank you attorney Greben!
