I highly and strongly recommend Mr. Greenwald for your legal problems. From day one Ben was informative and attentive. Not only does he listen to his clients he does everything to fight for you. My first day meeting Ben I cried in his office for about an hour, he made me feel safe and like my voice was being heard. Jess was also so lovely to meet. She is very kind and very helpful as well. Mr. Greenwald is an amazing person inside and out and did everything in his power to help me with my case. He is a very hard worker and once his mind is set to helping you he does EXACTLY that and then some. I am so grateful and thankful to have met Ben <3 Thank you so much!!

Consistent lawyer got my case handled in a middle of a pandemic highly recommended

Absolutely terrible. Do not confuse him with his father. All he wants is your money then he does nothing. It's a shame how he's using his father's name and misleading people. Stay away

If you have hired this man to work your divorce case, RUN, do not walk to another attorney as fast as you can. I would also give zero stars if I could. He is all show and no go. Did absolutely nothing in 6 months. Communication with his staff is non existent. “Forgot” to file any paperwork for me and then when I finally had my first court date, he failed to show up. His office notified me 15 minutes prior to the hearing as he was ‘sick’ (Sick in the head!). Needless to say, I was embarrassed and this made me look awful in front of the court and my ex (I will now have to pay my ex’s attorney fees because of Greenwald!). Stay as far away as you can from Ben Greenwald!!!!!!!!

I would give no stars if I could. Mine was a divorce case, something Mr. Greenwald obviously does "on the side." I specifically hired him, and told him I wanted a male attorney. I was being divorced by my attorney husband and knew he would not take a female attorney secretary seriously. A few weeks into the case, Mr. Greenwald handed me over to a very old lady attorney, whom I NEVER got her direct phone number or any means of contacting her. Almost $70,000.00 paid to the Greenwald firm and Mr. Greenwald almost completely ignored me. Except for telling me "you look very pretty today, on more than one occasion." I had a police report of physical abuse my husband did to me. I talked to his paralegal at the time and she said Mr. Greenwald would get me an Order of Protection. I over-nighted the police report and called many times over the next two days to see when Mr. Greenwald was going to to something about the Restraining Order, as she promised he would. I had two days to get the Order. Mr. Greenwald NEVER responded to me. I lost the opportunity to get the Order. This was three years of Mr. Greenwald NEVER returning my calls. Many times, five days later, he'd call me back. I was a paralegal and know that attorneys who do criminal work take divorce work "on the side." His paralegal would talk to me and tell me something would get done the next day. I would call her to make sure it was being done. The paralegal had NO idea what I was talking about. One meeting, as I sat next to her, I asked her about the restraining order. She said "we never got the police report." I said I over-nighted it to her. She denied it, but her large file was sitting on the table and I saw a FedX envelope in the file. I asked her to pull it out. It was the opened police report about the abuse. I asked her why she filed it in my file and not have it taken care of. She had no answer. I asked her why Mr. Greenwald didn't answer my calls for five days at a time (his usual response time). The old lady attorney never returned my calls either. They NEVER went over how I wanted to divide household objects. I would up getting nothing, because my ex-husband refused to give me any since there was no court order on those items. I honestly was very upset and shocked I was getting divorced and allowed myself to be ignored. I did have a meeting on a Friday before the Monday Trial Date with the woman attorney. On Monday, I was informed the female attorney was no longer with the firm! Mr. Greenwald would not listen to me when I asked questions during the pre-trial consultations between the opposing lawyers. I needed more alimony, and Mr. Greenwald told me, actually told me, "to be quiet," even though we were not before the Judge. He knew NOTHING about my case. He told me he thought I was "unstable." I am not unstable, I was frustrated that Mr. Greenwald would never get back to me in a timely matter. If you want to use Greenwald's firm for a criminal action, I gather he is good. If you need a divorce lawyer, DO NOT use him. Christopher Cardinale, Esq. came to the firm late in my divorce process. I wish he had been there earlier. He ALWAYS returned my calls within a day and listened to me. My case would have turned out much better if he had been my attorney. Mr. Greenwald, if he reads this, will laugh and say he was right, I am unstable. NOT unstable, just very frustrated with his TOTAL lack of attention to my case. I was married to an attorney who became abusive to me and I hired an attorney who took a fortune of mine and did absolutely NOTHING to see that I got alimony that was in the manner of the lifestyle I was accostumed to. My ex-husband made a LOT of money in the years before the divorce. The year of the divorce, he "conveniently" made much less. I am very upset and angry that I allowed myself to be treated so badly by the attorney I hired. He goes through attorneys he hires very fast. I see all the good reviews, BUT I also see the reviews that tell you to "run" and not hire Benjamin Greenwald, Esq. For divorce cases, he will NOT help you.

Mr. Greenwald has the best "can do" ethic. He is resourceful and knowledgeable in every aspect of law.. He made me feel comfortable and confident of the results I needed. He is the most honest attorney I have met, and that's makes him the best out there.

Horrible! DO NOT USE THESE PPL!! They will take your money and do NOTHING. Reporting Greenwald to the bar association! Crook!!

Do not use this law office they are liars and take your money you are basically paying them to do nothing worst law office ever

Ben and his colleagues are the most unprofessional group of individuals I have encountered in my life. Their phone etiquette is terrible. They are either over extending themselves or just plain stupid as they miss-inform us on several occasions and really had no clue what was going on with our case. Ben missed court with no valid explanation. My son was in court facing the judge with no attorney by his side. He and his colleagues would claim to have submitted various request related to the case, but come to find out that if they did, it was way after when they stated things were being done. We were left in the dark during the whole time Ben represented my son with no communication or follow up on the case. If you’re looking for a fake lawyer with just the paper credential then this would be your guy

The worst lawyer period. We had a court appearance in rockland county and he never showed up. I called the office and they canceled the appearance without telling me, i looked like an idiot in the court room. they said a secretary was stealing money from the firm???The next court date another lawyer shows up that i never met, no legal advise just sat next to me while i said my case. A year later with all his delays i lost the case. Still have not met him in person. Do youself a favor find a different lawyer.

I was given Ben's number through a friend of mine. I was going to court for 2 yrs. I had 8 misdemeanors an 2 felonys. All in different towns with legal aid they wanted to give me state time. On one charge I was caught on camera trying to run the mother of my child's step father over with a car. I thought for sure I was going to prison. With only 2 appearances from Ben he got me either 3 yrs probation or 6 months in the county jail. An I only had to plea out to one misdemeanor. I took the 6 months. If it wasn't for him I would probably still b in prison right now. An he definitely worked with me on the prices. I think it's 2500 per misdemeanor an 3000 a felony. I told him my situation an only paid 4500. From then on I refuse to use another lawyer. Overall I give him a 5 star rating. If ur in trouble I highly recommend u call Ben.
