SAVED MY LIFE and freedom, VERY HONEST and Greatly Skilled

Hello, I am privileged to write a review of Mr Greenberg. I hired Mr Greenberg for my felony case in January 2019. I have chosen Mr Greenber based on one single conversation over the phone and until now I can't express how happy I am with the outcome. I found Mr Greenberg website, I called the office... and I left the message. It was on Saturday. 1.5 hr later Mr Greenberg called me and I explained my case over the phone to him. Mr Greenberg didn't know me, didn't know if I would hire him and despite of it he was listening patiently to my story for about 40 min !!!!. It was basically consultation over the phone without charge!!!! I was surprised that the Mr Greenberg took so much of his time just to listen to my story without even asking me to come to his office to hire him. What struck me during this conversation was the fact that Mr Greenberg was VERY POLITE and PATIENT while listening to my story. He didn't attempt to influence me or push me to come to his office but instead Mr Greenberg gave me advice over the phone and options about the future legal actions. I loved his politeness and patience so I decided to see him in his office. Once in the office I presented my story to Mr Greenberg and one more time MR Greenberg listen to me patiently leaving up to me my decision to hire him. Mr Greenberg explained me my options for my felony case as well the reality of the outcome and possible risks. Mr Greenberg never promised me anything that was impossible to achieve. Mr Greenberg was very realistic by which he gained my confidence and trust immediately. After hiring Mr Greenberg I was able to contact him any time - after leaving my voice mail Mr Greenberg ALWAYS called me in a very timely manner, he ALWAYS found time to call me back and answer my questions in depths. My case was complicated by several factors, I was facing imprisonment after indictment. Being in prison I would not be able to continue my medical treatment, I had scheduled very important procedure requiring stay in a hospital. Without that procedure and without continuous high level of medical care I was facing risk of death. My case was dismissed at the first court appearance, but such outcome was even big surprise for Mr Greenberg who didn't really anticipated that ma case would be resolved so fast. Mr Greenberg prepared me to wait for more court appearances, however he was positive that eventually my case will be dismissed. I am recommending Mr Greenberg to anyone who needs criminal attorney. Mr Greenberg is very skilled and experienced attorney, having decades of practicing criminal law and representing clients at the Queens Criminal Court which also is very important for the outcome of the case since Mr Greenberg is well known among DAs as well respected by them which I witnessed firsthand. As for the payment plan Mr Greenberg is very flexible and understanding financial situation of his clients. Here on this review I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Greenberg and thank him from the depth of my heart for having my case dismissed. I can very strongly recommend Mr Greenberg to anybody who needs criminal attorney. Thank you Mr Greenberg one more time, God bless you.

"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."
