Great Lawyer!

This lawyer is a bulldog. I hired Mr. Greenbaum to defend me. He was nice to me and tough to the other lawyer that was against us. The other lawyer would say something in court and Mr. Greenbaum would fight for me and object to what the other lawyer was saying. I could tell the judge was impressed wi...th Mr. Greenbaum because he knew the rules and the law. I would recommend this great lawyer.

Avvo Rating

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.
