About
Our firm serves clients in the five boroughs and throughout New York State, with a specialty in Family Law, specifically focusing on adoptions and matrimonial law, including prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, high net-worth contested divorce, high conflict divorce, including valuation and distribution of complicated assets, appeals, mediation, custody, domestic violence, child support and visitation. I have dedicated my entire career to helping children and families, first as a Law Guardian at the Legal Aid Society's Juvenile Rights Division in Manhattan, where I often advocated for children in high conflict disputes in hotly contested custody battles. Thereafter, I started my own matrimonial practice, while simultantously representing numerous foster care agencies and adoptive parents. During my practice, I have assisted thousands of special needs children and their families and have also resolved thousands of high conflict custody matters, child abuse and neglect and domestic violence cases. As an expert in adoption, I have been at the center of casing involving drug abuse, spousal abuse, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect. I am a guest lecturer at numerous foster care agencies and adoption conferences, including LGBT centers in the city, Long Island, Westchester and upstate New York. I have authored six children's books on the topics of divorce mediation and adoption. I have been designated a Super Lawyer from 2014-17 and in 2017 was honored to have a cover article in Super Lawyers Magazine about adoptions. I am a fellow of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and recipient of numerous awards from adoption agencies.

Cliff was hardworking and kept us calm through a lengthy and at times frustrating process.
We hired Cliff to execute the New York State portion of our son's adoption. Although, we used an adoption agency, it was necessary for us to also hire an independent attorney. Cliff was encouraging, caring, kind and walked us through the entire process. His experience and guidance were always spot on. He is a consummate professional but also a warm and kind man who understood the emotional aspect of this kind of work. We highly recommend Cliff without reservation.
I have had adoption matters handled by Cliff for the past 25 years. He is entirely devoted to adoption and family-related work and is one of the best and most connected attorneys in the field. I would not hesitate to consult him or hire him for work in this area. He's clearly one of the best.
Cliff Greenberg is the foster care go-to attorney. He represents foster care families with care and expertise. I have consulted with him many times over the years on various issues.
I would recommend Cliff for any NY foster care, same sex or other domestic adoption matter. He has devoted his entire career to placing children in safe, loving homes and I would consider him one of the very best.
