knowledgeable and caring

Gregg was a very attentive lawyer who is very knowledgeable and cared for the outcome of my case. His calm demeanor was very beneficial going up against the other party.

Beyond an Amazing Attorney

Gregg is beyond amazing, intelligent, and one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known. I never expected an attorney would work the hours Gregg did to ensure my divorce went the best it could. My situation seemed easy at the beginning, but my spouse made everything extremely difficult and... Gregg made sure to walk me through everything. The times we had hearings Gregg always was prepared, and made sure I was prepared with multiple Zoom meetings. He then astounded me during the hearings by being able to cite court cases off the top of his head to object to the other side, or prove a point. The immense knowledge he has at the drop of a hat is truly awe-inspiring! He made me feel confident during hearings as well and made me so proud to have chosen such an amazing attorney who would shock anyone with his intelligence. As I stated above Gregg worked beyond the normal business hours at times to ensure any questions or concerns were taken care of and to make sure court orders, preparation for court etc was done correctly. I don't believe many people would do that, and the fact that he made sure that we were prepared for court with multiple Zoom meetings that took up even more of his time was a blessing. I deferred to Gregg's judgment on many things as I didn't have the ability to make decisions on my own very well, and what made a huge difference for me is how he treated me. I spent 20 years being silenced and Gregg never did that; he actually made sure to listen to what I said and made a point to make sure my voice was heard. This was something that left me in tears because I hadn't experienced that in so long and I appreciated that more than I could ever express in words. Gregg was so competent about divorce case law that he almost predicted the outcome of every court order, hearing and court ruling before it ever happened. That left me amazed and further instilled in me that I made the correct decision on choosing Gregg. Gregg was so meticulous about every single letter, court order etc that he made sure to do almost everything on his own, which was shocking to me. Most attorney's defer to their legal assistant with that type of work but Gregg's meticulous nature overruled that. When I did work with his legal assistant (Christine) she was just as compassionate and effective as Gregg was. While the divorce process was beyond stressful and scary Gregg made sure to be incredible at every juncture to inform me of the possible outcomes and options. There aren't many people in life these days that make a difference and major impact on others, yet Gregg did. I truly think Gregg is one of a kind and the world is a better place because of him and his amazing help. Any person who has to go through a divorce case would be in the best hands with Gregg, and I will never say otherwise. At the end of my case I considered Gregg as family since he treated me more kindly than any other professional I have ever come to known. He made me believe there is good in this world, and that he is rare gem of an attorney that will leave anyone in the best hands. Thank you Gregg for everything; I will never forget you, and never forget how amazing you are!

Best Divorce Lawyer and firm ever.

I'll start by saying I would 1000% recommend Gregg as a divorce lawyer. I cannot say enough good things about the excellent care and support that was given to me by Gregg Greenstein and his team, Christine and Brittany, during the most difficult and trying time of my life. Throughout every step of my... divorce, Gregg and his team showed professionalism, diligence, commitment, impeccable knowledge of the law (of course), and the unwavering persistence that was needed for me to get a fair deal in my divorce. I don't usually write reviews, but I feel it is my duty to women and people going through tough divorces to write about how wonderful Gregg and his team were during the entire daunting and exhausting process. Without hesitation I believe they saved my life. Maybe that sounds dramatic--but it's true. My divorce was extremely difficult and my ex was dishonest, mean, and very hard to deal with. I was not able to speak to him at all. Any point where I became concerned with something my ex did or said--which there were many--Gregg would respond to my emails right away and knew exactly how to respond in a way that calmed my fears and immediately know that I was in good hands. Gregg is an excellent communicator to his clients as well as to the other side. He is calm, practical, consistent, and honest with his clients, and firm and resolute with the other side. It made me feel calm and know that I had a strong case. He stood up for me many, many times and I felt stronger because of that. I sincerely believe I would have been completely screwed if it were not for Gregg's hard work. Obviously when you get married--you don't plan on getting divorced--so knowing where to begin and how the process works is scary and daunting. I had heard about Gregg from a review myself, and from the moment I reached out for a consultation call to decide if they would be the right fit for me--I knew they would be the right team. During that introductory call--Christine was wonderful and explained the entire process with detail and kindness. I really appreciated her care because it helped me know what to expect moving forward. Throughout the process she was attentive, kind, and knew exactly what she was doing. I would really like to say a huge Thank You to Gregg, Christine, and Brittany for helping me free myself from my marriage--on my terms. When the divorce was finalized, it was the biggest relief of my life because it ended on my terms. It is with utmost gratitude that I write this review and recommend Gregg and his team to anyone in need a strong lawyer to represent them.

Excellent Service and Expertise

I recently went through a very difficult time in my life and Gregg Greenstein provided expert representation for me. He guided me through the entire process managing all of the details and keeping not only me, but also opposing council on track and on schedule for every deadline. Gregg was extremally... organized and frequently worked hard late at night or early mornings on my case. I found Gregg to be very knowledgeable, professional, caring and hardworking. I highly recommend him should you ever have the need.

Extremely knowledgeable, fair, and professional

Gregg Greenstein and Sylvia Brownfield have worked on numerous family law issues with us for around two years. We found their approach to be remarkably professional, and specifically found that their 'tolerance threshold' (the point at which negotiation turns to litigation) was carefully balanced and... well-informed. We feel that their empathetic approach helped us to avoid unnecessary fees, but that their ability to turn to swift action was just as important in resolving our case. We are very grateful to both attorneys, and to Christine Hickey, for their team efforts and for helping us through some difficult situations with candid and accurate advice. We recommend the firm highly.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Greenstein is a "Lawyers Lawyer'. That is to say he takes his Oath of Admission to the practice very seriously. He treats everyone with civility and respect. Gregg has appeared on Dr. Phil's Television show as an expert Family Law practioneer. his knowledge of the law and it's technical underpinnings is second to none. However, he is always anxious to utilize common sense, bypass expensive legal proceedures and craft an agreement that is fair to each side. Speaking as opposing counsel, we had several disagreements concerning both the Law as it applied to our case, and the underlying facts. Gregg was quick to utilize problem solving techniques and get past our points of contention. In my cases opposing Lawyer Greenstein, my clients were happy with the results of my representation and I bellieve that his client's were also pleased with the final result of our efforts. In the Family Law Practice Arena, this is the ultimate test of both attorney's skill and dilligence."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"During the last 10 years, I have worked with Gregg on many cases in which we had clients in common who were facing both criminal case issues and divorce/custody issues. I have found Gregg to be a top shelf attorney. He is very conscientous, extremely detail oriented and always thoroughly prepared on his cases. He is very well versed in the case law and great in the courtroom as well. With his divorce talk show career and singing career background as evidence, Gregg is really a well rounded, and well regarded, attorney. Would definitely recommend Gregg to anyone dealing with divorce or child custody related issues."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer, Gregg Greestein, because he was not only professional, ethical, and cooperative, but very gentlemanly and in family law that is something I have found rarely in my short time practicing law. While in a contested grandparents visitation matter his lawyering skills, knowledge, and cooperation led both parties to an amicable resolution that will be beneficial for all parties involved. As a young lawyer it has been very helpful to have the opportunity to work and learn from another lawyer like Mr. Greenstein."
