Practice Areas

Divorce and Separation 12%

I handle all areas of family law cases including divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support (alimony), community property cases. Although many of those cases resolve themselves at a hearing officer conference, many need to be tried in front of a district judge. This is the part of the practice I enjoy the most. I have taught trial skills at Tulane University Law School since 2009.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Civil Custody Matter

David Greenberg handled a very lengthy messy Civil matter for me. He kept me informed, focused and showed compassion. He returned every phone call as well addressed every new aspect timely. He is well versed in the law and has a good read on people which both were beneficial when dealing with all mov...ing parts of my case. If you are looking for an attorney to see your matter through to the end I would definitely recommend David Greenberg.
