After the adoption of his son, former immigration attorney Joel Greenberg was inspired to help other families looking to adopt. His commitment to his practice area has led him to many impressive accomplishments, including the structuring and drafting of New York state legal procedures surrounding international adoption.
It is with tremendous sadness that Joel and I announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, and law partner, Barbara F. Greenberg. Barbara touched so many lives and helped to create so many families. She brought joy and happiness to all that had the privilege of knowing her. She was an adoption pioneer, a staunch and passionate advocate, and a surrogate mom/aunt/grandmother to so many.
James M. Greenberg is a partner with the firm practicing domestic and international adoption law and estate planning law. James was born in Bogot, Colombia in October of 1973 and adopted at two weeks of age by Barbara and Joel Greenberg. As an adult adoptee, James brings personal experience, professional commitment, and compassionate understanding to the firm's adoption clients.

I called Greenberg and Greenberg after searching for adoption attorneys on Google. I actually spoke with James Greenberg and was happy with how helpful he was from the onset. He took the time to listen to my situation and pointed me in the right direction. He showed compassion immediately and has since helped me with the follow up. I am glad I called them.

James Greenberg was truly the right lawyer. When I first called James Greenberg, and during the consultation he was very personable and made us feel comfortable and at ease. James was very professional and knowledgeable and explained the entire process clearly. During the court procedure, my wife and I and step daughter were there with James in his office to speak with the court secretary and judge all done over the computer. James helped us fulfill something I wanted to do for a while and that was to make my step daughter legally my daughter. Thank you Mr. James Greenberg for making that happen

We recently worked with James for a re-adoption case in Suffolk county. I am so happy to say that his professionalism and care were beyond any expectations. He handled our case in the mist of the COVID pandemic and with the courts not working and hardly responding, he was still able to keep our case going and finalized in a few month. He made everything easy and straight forward. His fee was extremely reasonable considering we only had to provide him with the required paperwork and he took care of absolutely everything else. I could see his genuine care for our family, his empathy and excitement

My family went to Jamie Greenberg to adopt my daughter.
Meeting Jamie is like visitng a family member. He explains exactly what you need to do without being confusing. He is hands on throughout the entire adoption process. He picks up every call and answers any questions at any time of day. His professionalism and kindness made us feel like we were his most important clients. By the time we went to court, we felt like he was part of our family. He provided us every detail of what to expect along the way. There was not one surprise or hidden fee. He discusses all of that upfront. We are so grateful

James Greenberg is our favorite lawyer EVER! He is truly a special human being who was there for us every step of the way in the adoption of our wonderful child. Every time we visited with him, he devoted all of his attention and resources to our needs and desires. The most wonderful part was being able to call him and have him answer the phone almost every time, and when he couldn’t, he called us back very promptly. Jaime is someone you feel that you can talk to about absolutely anything, and we highly recommend him to anyone going on the adoption journey. Unfortunately, there are many organizations
