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.

Best Criminal Attorney I know in Queens!

I met Todd Greenberg through a referral source to take on my DWI case in Kew Gardens. I was seeking out an attorney that I can truly trust especially as it was the first criminal charge nor ever have a traffic infraction. Handling a DWI consist of both civil case and criminal case which most attor...ney fail to explain properly and can have different impacts on your life. Not only do you face a criminal record but even if you win the criminal, you can potentially face revocation of your license. Because of Todd, I was able to win the civil case which is extremely rare and have great results on the criminal side. At the age of 42, my concerns are the negative impact on my career, record, and livelihood. Todd really made it a point to understand my case and get to the know the person I am. Not many attorneys really take the time to study the fine details of a case like Todd does and that truly means a lot. He does not sell you a dream but is truly realistic and will think of just about everything to help you make a well-educated decision on how you would like to proceed. I just finished 95 percent of my case and I have one more appearance but with Todd by my side, I never get worried. I can truly say that Todd Greenberg is the only criminal attorney I would recommend for Queens. My advice to anyone reading this review is please seek a second opinion and call Todd Greenberg because if I didn't God knows what the outcome could have been. The best part of the process was the communication with his office is nothing short of amazing. Todd’s assistants were always on top of each question or concern which other attorneys can learn from. When you are facing a criminal charge no matter how strong you think you are, your attorney is the one person you should be able to count on for comfort and reassurance. I really want to thank Addabbo & Greenberg Law for everything, and I will make sure everyone knows how great your team is!

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.

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.

"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."
