About

The Law Office of Brian L. Greben specializes in the representation of employees and employers in labor disputes. We help workers asserting claims against businesses for unpaid overtime and tips, as well as employers in need of defense in labor and employment matters.

 

Our areas of expertise include negligence and insurance litigation. We represent individuals and businesses in property damage and personal injury matters.

 

We provide coverage opinions and represent insurers in coverage litigation involving many different types of insurance, including bodily injury, property damage, disability, construction, lead paint, automobile, first-party property and personal injury. We defend insurance companies from direct claims by both insured and injured parties.

 

Our practice includes most areas of civil litigation, as well as criminal defense, such as defense from drug, alcohol, and DUI charges.
