Q. How do you know this lawyer?
- Current or Former Co-Worker/Colleague
I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Greenburg at a former law firm. She is diligent, thorough, and really cares for each and every one of her clients. We now each run our own law firms and frequently run into each other in various courthouses. Her work continues to be top-notch and I think her clients are lucky to have such a hard-working lawyer fighting for them.
Q. In the cases you were involved in with this attorney, which of the following apply?
- Different Client, Same Side of Case
- Opposing Client
Ms. Greenburg has represented a number of co-Defendants in our cases together. In some instances, our clients' goals are aligned and in other instances those goals are in direct opposition to one another. Regardless of goal synchronicity, Ms. Greenburg is always polite and professional in her representation of her clients.
Q. When did you work with this lawyer?
I've known Ms. Greenburg since 2019 when we worked at another firm together. Since 2022 when we both opened our firms, I've encountered her in several of the courthouses we both frequent and have seen her work in court many times.
Q. Was this lawyer an effective advocate/counselor and why?
Yes
Ms. Greenburg has a deep understanding of criminal law in Virginia and a creative mind - when she puts those two qualities together in court, it results in stellar representation for her clients. She truly cares for each of her clients and wants the best possible outcome for them. She's a quick thinker and easily pivots to combat curve-balls thrown into a case by the prosecutor, witnesses, and even the Judges. She has won many cases through her hard work, legal research, and determination.
Q. Please rate this lawyer on the following:
Legal Knowledge:
Excellent
Ms. Greenburg already has a vast expanse of knowledge when it comes to criminal law, but she also understands that the law changes; she takes many classes each year to always stay on top of the latest developments and then immediately puts that knowledge to work for her clients. She ensures the information provided by witnesses and the opposing parties is accurate and does not hesitate to call out the inaccuracies when appropriate or when it best serves her client's interest
Legal Analysis:
Excellent
Ms. Greenburg has an exceptionally sharp legal mind and on multiple occasions have seen her analyze a situation mid-trial to pivot into a new strategy or pull at a new thread of problematic testimony from an opposing witness. She also reaches out to colleagues to discuss new ways of thinking about a legal issue and puts all her knowledge to use in obtaining excellent results for her clients.
Communication Skills:
Excellent
Ms. Greenburg is very diligent at returning calls and emails. She also communicates if a court appearance will significantly delay her full response to a call or email. In a profession commonly known for its lack of communication, Ms. Greenburg stands apart from other lawyers in how honestly and quickly she responds to communications with her firm.
Ethics and Professionalism:
Excellent
I have had the pleasure of working many co-defendant cases with Ms. Greenburg and have always found her exceptionally polite and professional. She is a pleasure to work with, even when our co-defendants' ultimate case goals are not aligned.
As for ethics, Ms. Greenburg is always careful to ensure her actions and advice align with that of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
