PGPAUL GREENBERG
ATTORNEY AT LAW

WHY I PRACTICE LAW

Helping people.
Earning your trust

I practice law because I want to help people. A legal issue can affect your home, your work, and your peace of mind. Understanding what it means for you is where my work begins.

Your trust is something I aim to earn: by listening carefully, speaking plainly, and being honest about the choices ahead. You deserve to understand both the possibilities and the limits before deciding how to proceed.

Meet Paul

WHAT PUTTING YOU FIRST MEANS

Your voice matters
at every step

You should have room to ask questions, understand the advice you receive, and make decisions that reflect your priorities.

First, I listen

We begin with a phone conversation. I explain what information I need and how we can discuss your concerns before you put details in writing.

Then, we talk it through

We discuss your options, the questions that need answers, and the work involved. You can ask about costs and what representation would include.

We agree on the next step

If we decide to work together, we agree on the scope of representation and a plan informed by your circumstances and goals.

BEFORE YOU REACH OUT

A few questions,
answered

Taking the first step should feel a little easier.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. We can talk about what is happening, what matters to you, and whether I can help. Your initial consultation is free. Any representation, its scope, and fees are agreed separately.

How do I get started?

Call me at 212-380-7343 to arrange a conversation. You do not need to know the legal terminology or prepare a written account. I will explain what information I need and how to proceed.

What should I have ready for my first consultation?

Keep any existing agreements, notices, or court papers available, and be aware of upcoming dates. Please call before sending documents or preparing a written account of events. I will explain what is needed for your consultation.

What if I have already used ChatGPT or Claude?

I understand why people turn to OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude with legal questions. I use AI in my practice too. You may not know which facts or subtle legal distinctions matter, so an answer can leave you with an incomplete picture. During our call, tell me what you have learned and how you understand your situation. I can help you work through any gaps or misunderstandings.

Should I email details of my matter?

Please call first. Written statements, including emails, may be discoverable depending on the circumstances. If you need to email to arrange a call, provide only your name and callback number. Do not include details of your matter or attachments.

Where do you practice?

I serve Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island, as well as Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens in New York City. Tell me where your matter is located when you get in touch.

What if my matter is urgent?

Call 212-380-7343 and mention any upcoming court date or other deadline. Do not rely on email to meet a deadline. Contacting the office does not extend a deadline or mean representation has begun.
