This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent and professional Lawyer in NY

I found Greenberg and Addabbo on google and contacted Todd Greenberg. As soon as we spoke I felt I was in the right place. We then fixed a meeting in their office. Todd explained our options and promised to achieve the best result in our case. He then proceeded to do just that and we are extremely sa...tisfied with the result. Todd is a very forthcoming and highly motivated lawyer who knows his way around the NY legal system having been an ADA before establishing his partnership with Dominic Addabbo. Todd is very hardworking and efficient while providing feedback and options at every stage of the proceedings. We highly recommend Addabbo and Greenberg and are grateful for their support and expertise in achieving the best possible solution to our case.

Mr. Todd Douglas Greenberg helped me avoid prison time.

I was very lucky to be represented by someone like Mr. Greenberg. He is very knowledgeable and very well networked in the complex legal system of New York City. With his work and my no prior criminal history, I was able to completely eliminate some very serious prison time, having it reduced to only ...probation and some counseling. I'm very grateful how it turned out and it was only possible thanks to Mr. Greenberg and his law firm.

Mr. Greenberg truly had my best interests in mind in bringing my case to a beneficial conclusion.

Mr. Greenberg analyzed every aspect of my case and explained the law and the circumstances to me in a clear and detailed manner. He resolved my case efficiently and promptly and to my full satisfaction.

If you need help TALK TO HIM

I was in a bad situation, made a mistake, and he helped me out tremendously, there are not enough words to describe how thankful I am, for this man and his team. Thank you, Todd, Jennifer and Dominic. With his help, I was able to show my real self, and not what was written on paper.

He represented me in a criminal case with great results. I highly recommend him.... To me his is the best lawyer in New York. If you are ever in trouble with the law Todd Greenberg is the name to remember. Thank you Todd.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Todd Greenberg is one of the most brilliant criminal defense attorneys that I have had the privilege of knowing. Todd and I have known each other for nearly ten years, and he has been an inspiration to me as an attorney, and a human being, at least since the time that I began practicing law. Always gracious, patient, and respectful, any consult that I have ever sought from Todd, I wouldn't think twice about taking to the bank. Humbled to have Todd as a mentor, colleague, and occasional co-counsel, Todd has been instrumental in teaching me the ins and outs of day to day practice throughout the criminal courts of New York State. Even more importantly, I have been privy to an intimate glimpse of the respect, candor, and diligence which Todd affords each and every one of his clients. Anyone lucky enough to be represented by Todd can rest assured that they are in good hands."

Relationship: Friend

"I endorse this lawyer. Todd Greenberg has not only been my friend for many years but has been co counsel with me on many cases. You will never find a more honest, bright and superlative advocate than Todd. I have seen him take very difficult cases and turn them into acquittals. I can't remember the last time he lost a DWI case. Todd is also a very hard worker,often working past midnight on many of his cases, especially while on trial. Despite being the tough, hard driven attorney that he is, he extremely likeable and caring with not only his friends, but his clients. You would be hard pressed to find an attorney with his track record and his success."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
