F amily law cases are almost always intense. That's why clients so appreciate the calm and confidence that family law spe- cialist Alexandra Greenberg provides. Greenberg has earned praise from clients, her fellow attor- neys and judges for her courtroom presence, negotiating skills and commitment to her clients. Her peers say that Greenberg goes “above and beyond” for her clients while crafting strate- gies to help them earn the best possible results. It's little surprise then, that Greenberg is known as one of the rising stars in the Chicago family law arena. “She is a zealous advocate and incredibly invested in the world of family law,” said Olga Allen, managing partner with the Chicago office of Hurst, Robin, Kay & Allen, LLC. “She has a deep passion for law and it shows in the work she does.” Zach Cohen, partner with the Chicago office of Berger Schatz LLP, has observed Greenberg's work both inside and outside of the courtroom. He says that Greenberg uses her problem- solving abilities, client management skills and creativity to earn the best results for her clients. “I have watched her perform phenomenally well in court, and have seen her work through complicated situations to get to an agreement, too,” Cohen said. “Alex does a wonderful job

of combining practicality with zealous advocacy while also maintaining a good relationship with opposing counsel. In a field that has seemingly become more combative in recent years, Alex remains a great example of what a lawyer can and should be.” Greenberg is also committed to her field. She recently led an important continuing legal education course on domestic vio- lence for the Chicago Bar Association. She participates in the mentor/mentee program at DePaul University College of Law and served as co-chair of the Chicago Bar Association Alliance for Women. In addition, she was recently accepted into the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and elected to the Board of Directors of Ascend Justice. But where Greenberg truly shines is in the representation that she provides to her clients. The results she earns for them have helped this young attorney grow a reputation as a go-to source for clients facing family law issues. “Alexandra is a tireless advocate for her clients,” said Bar- ry Chatz, partner with the Chicago office of Saul Ewing LLP. “Assurance of fairness in result and protection of family mem- bers' health and welfare have been and continue to be Alexandra's goals and results. This is an extraordinary lawyer and person.”
