David Greenbaum did an excellent job in handling my DUI case. He was highly recommended to me, and he was clearly the right choice. Everything was explained very well, he kept me informed as things moved along and it was clear from the moment we walked into court that he had the respect of the prosecutors, court staff and most importantly, the presiding judge. I would highly recommend Mr. Greenbaum to anyone needing an excellent defense attorney. I gave David 5 stars, but only because I couldn't give him 10 stars! Hire David and you will not be disappointed. Tim

I had the pleasure of meeting David a mutual friend. From the first day I spoke with him he listened and also gave me great advice. I’ve had some experiences with the law in my earlier years which I thought may come back to hurt me. But David gave me great information and advice what I need to do. I would tell anybody who is in any type of serious situiation or any other purpose to give him a call. He really took a lot of stress off me and my family and did his job to perfection. Thank you from the Wallace family

You will find that you have placed yourselves in the hands of an extremely competent attorney who lives the humna expereince right by your side.
I hired David to help me with a tenant-landlord case. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable- and helped me every step of the way, from filing the case to winning it! He was always very professional, did everything to help expedite the process, and went above and beyond to ensure that the outcome was successful. He ensured that he time he spent on the case was efficient and effective. The team was also able to recommend and coordinate with a processor on the West Coast. I highly recommend David and the Schwartz & Greenbaum team!

I can’t thank you enough.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
