Our Mission

Guided by the belief that every child deserves a loving home, and every individual the chance to provide that love, Greenberg & Greenberg is dedicated to making the dream of family a reality for as many people as possible.


We understand that the adoption process can be complex and emotional. That’s why we approach every case with a blend of professional expertise and the empathy that comes from personal experience. Our goal is to make your adoption journey as smooth and joyful as possible.

Our Adoption Story

How Greenberg and Greenberg was Founded

Greenberg & Greenberg is a family law firm that has been united by adoption. As partners of the firm, J. Michael Greenberg and Barbara Greenberg have personally experienced the joy and blessing of adoption by adopting their own son James and, years later, the happiness brought by the adoption of their grandson Jonathan. James was adopted at two weeks old in 1973 from Bogotá, Colombia, and is now a partner in our firm.

Nearly 40 years after our very own adoption, our firm has proudly represented and guided more than 6,000 families through the complexities of the adoption process. Our firm is licensed in the states of New York and New Jersey. For 39 years, we have represented adoptive parents and birth parents in both domestic and inter-country adoptions. Perhaps our firm's most distinguishing attribute, in addition to being highly knowledgeable in the field of adoption, is the fact that we all have direct and personal connections to adoption as adoptive parents, grandparents, and an adult adoptee.
