Todd is an invaluable fount of knowledge and a rock of sense.

I was very distressed about the charges I was facing until I retained Todd. It was always easy to get in contact with him, and his whole team took excellent care of me and my case. I am very thankful to say all charges were dismissed and sealed.

A true lifesaver

Mr. Greenberg and his team were very professional throughout our entire case. This was our first time being faced with this type of ordeal and he took the time to see our character and not just the charges. On the onset he was able to clearly explain everything to us about the legal process and our r...ights which showed how knowledgeable he is and it made my entire family comfortable. Through the duration of the legal case he was available to take our phone calls 24/7 and kept us abreast of all details and the progress of our case. He also took the time to be concerned about our adult children and our future. Mr. Greenberg has gone over an beyond with his services and we highly recommend him to others.

Addabbo Greenberg

I was arrested in queens for a knife that I purchased at home depot. The knife was completely legal and the police knew it. Mr. Addabbo, Mr. Greenberg and especially their associate. Mrs. Caitlin Young worked very hard to get my case dismissed. I was unjustly arrested and charged when I had committe...d no crime, and they took my case very serious. I would recommend any one who needs a hardworking attorney, and someone who genuinely cares to go with Addabbo Greenberg.

Todd gave our family the strength we needed

Mothers Day last year- my family was involved in a horrific accident resulting in the most devastating kind of accident imaginable. At this very moment the lives of families were changed forever. Todd Greenberg was called to help our family in this tragedy. This unbelievable accident caused so muc...h grief for the family that suffered such unimaginable loss and caused ours irreversible scars- leaving us to feel vulnerable, alone, needing insight and healing. In all the frenzy Todd took our calls immediately and offered us a sense of understanding and direction that we could not do for ourselves. His professional, nurturing and humanizing perspective gave us the feeling that we have an attorney that understands the true nature of what he has to represent for all parties involved. As the process and realization of what had happened became more transparent, Todd and his team lead us to resolution for all parties while supporting our family and position in a way that we can never repay or express in this lifetime. My family is truly thankful for being able to have the opportunity to know Todd and respect him for his genuine, Bona Fide abilities as a lawyer and human being. From the bottom of our hearts, WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID FOR US !

The Best Representation You Can Get

One night I Went out and had a few beers while watching the NBA finals with friends. On the way home I foolishly passed a red light and got pulled over. Next thing I knew I had just blown a .10 on a breath test and was headed to central booking. I'd had no criminal record; I'd never been arrested unt...il this day. I was terrified that I'd have a criminal record and loose my career as an Aircraft Mechanic. I searched the internet for the best representation I could find and then decided to retain Mr. Greenberg after a consultation with him and Ms. Young in his office. Mr. Greenberg was straight forward in saying nothing is guaranteed in court but he assured me he would use his 40 years of experience to do everything he could to get me a positive result in the matter. Mr. Greenberg and Ms. Young were extremely professional throughout the course of my case. I'd certainly had my doubts throughout the process with an ADA that wouldn't budge on any kind of a deal. Mr. Greenberg was very reassuring and I always felt my case was in good hands. When my day in Court finally came, Mr. Greenberg’s years of experience shone through, as he was able to use the arresting officer's testimony to shine me in good light. After that he destroyed a very prejudicial IDTU technician's testimony during cross-examination on stand showing that the results of the coordination test on the report he produced didn't support what was shown on the recorded video of the test, and that the technician administered the test incorrectly Due to Mr. Greenberg and Ms. Young excellence in Court I was Acquitted of all DUI related charges. I can't thank them enough for their efforts during the course of my case. It is always in your favor to get the best representation you can in criminal matters, you wont go wrong with Todd Greenberg he is the best representation you can get.

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."
