Many of the matters that Mr. Greenberger handles end in favorable settlements.  Indeed, Mr. Greenberger regularly negotiates, either directly or through mediation, significant resolutions on behalf of his clients.

In addition to litigating cases, Mr. Greenberger actively negotiates contracts, employment agreements, and severance packages for his clients.

Goldberg, an attorney who published false and defamatory allegations concerning Mr. Spartis on his internet web site. The web site was designed to solicit clients who would, in turn, bring claims against Mr. Spartis and Citigroup regarding the management of their brokerage accounts. The verdict, one of the first of its type in the country, included $600,000 in punitive damages and $400,000 in compensatory damages.
