Robert J. Greenstein
Thirty-two years at the bar, in Harlem. His firm's page is the only one in this batch that treats yellow cabs and rideshare as one subject throughout rather than bolting taxis on at the end — and the only one to name double-parking, dooring and unsafe drop-offs as distinct causes rather than lumping them under “distraction”.
The bar record
We read Robert J. Greenstein in the New York State Unified Court System’s Attorney Detail Report. Only the shaded green row is generated by the court; the rows marked attorney-supplied were filed by him.
New York vouches for one line of this. The court system’s own disclaimer states that the Detail Report contains information provided by the attorney, except registration status, which is generated from the Office of Court Administration’s database. It further states that an attorney’s good standing and any information regarding disciplinary actions must be confirmed with the appropriate Appellate Division Department. So “currently registered” is the court’s own fact. “No record of discipline” is displayed by the court system but comes with an instruction to verify it elsewhere — and we haven’t. That is why the discipline figure above is a dash and not a tick.
And it tells you which office to ask. Robert J. Greenstein was admitted through the 1st Department, so that is the department a reader would need to write to. Of the twenty-one lawyers on our New York pages, fifteen were admitted through the Second and six through the First. No other register we use sends you somewhere else to finish the check — and none of the others tells you where.
What the record shows
The firm’s page works through ten causes of taxi and rideshare crashes and separates the ones specific to for-hire driving — abrupt curbside stops, double-parking in moving lanes, dooring cyclists, dropping passengers away from the kerb. Most rideshare pages in this batch reduce all of that to “distracted driving”.Verified
The firm advertises seven offices across Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers and Nassau County. The register carries one address, on Park Avenue. Registers hold an address of record, not a branch list.Verified
The page carries a toll-free vanity number, 1-800-VICTIM2, alongside a direct line. He was admitted through the First Department.Verified
