Communication Is Key For Attorneys At Greenstein & Lubliner
Blanca Greenstein and Richard Lubliner of Greenstein & Lubliner LLP have been practicing law partners since 2014. Originally, Greenstein founded the firm, but she soon realized that she was in need of a litigation partner. Greenstein and Lubliner knew early on that they would make a great pair to serve clients in Palm Beach County and beyond. Today, the law firm that Greenstein and Lubliner operate together is committed to communication with its clients.
“One of the largest complaints that clients have for lawyers is that they’re not responsive enough, that they don’t hear from their lawyer,” Lubliner said. “We impress upon our associates and our support staff that connectivity and following up with clients is critical.”
Both Greenstein and Lubliner are, of course, licensed to practice in Florida. In addition, Lubliner is licensed to practice in New York. Among their associates, the firm is also licensed to serve clients in California, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.
“We also have a national network of local counsel, so some of our clients hire us to serve as a regional counsel or a national counsel and manage overseas cases in different parts of the country,” Greenstein said.
Greenstein’s experience working for a large loan service provider has added to their ability to serve current and future clients at the firm, Lubliner added.
“We’ve taken what she learned and expanded upon it, so we oversee or act like outside-inside counsel for various companies,” Lubliner said. “We provide strategic advice just to make sure that their objectives are being obtained, so we’re also like an oversight counsel as well.”
Locally, in Wellington, Greenstein and Lubliner are devoted to serving the equestrian community and managing real estate.
“In Wellington, the focus is naturally equine-based from a transactional and litigation perspective, but also a lot of real estate work emanates from our Wellington office, because Wellington has experienced extraordinary growth in its real estate development in the past few years due to the investment of outside sources and the equestrian community,” Lubliner said.
The law firm has multiple locations in Palm Beach County, and there is a New York location as well.
“We give very customized attention to our clients. Whether they are an individual or a corporate client, they are all treated with the highest level of customer service, accessibility, high level of communication, respect and kindness. Those are our core values,” said Greenstein, who has lived in the same Wellington home with her family for the past 14 years.
Originally, it was her parents who asked her to consider practicing her craft in Florida after she received her juris doctorate at Capital University Law School in Ohio. “After I got my law degree, I took the Florida bar, and I got an apartment right down from my parent’s apartment in South Palm Beach,” Greenstein recalled.
Originally from New York, Lubliner lives in Boca Raton with his wife, who is a teacher in the area. He received his degree from the Emory University School of Law. “I have a wealth of experience working on billion-dollar workouts, reorganizations and restructurings. In about 2006, I realized that I wanted a change. While I loved practicing in New York, I decided that I wanted to relocate,” Lubliner said.
Greenstein and Lubliner became partners at their present-day firm in 2014, changing the name of Greenstein’s original practice, the Law Offices of Greenstein & Associates, to Greenstein & Lubliner LLP.
Greenstein enjoys being involved in the community and serves on the board of directors for the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. “The chamber has given me a lot of very good business experience because we’ve organized speakers that have taught me about branding, public relations, marketing, writing a press release and giving me confidence as a business leader. A lot of that came from the education of the chamber,” Greenstein said.
Lubliner is a member of Leadership Palm Beach County. “We go throughout Palm Beach County to tour various areas and industries… to see where the public and private sector can work together to come up with creative solutions to complex problems,” he explained.
Greenstein and Lubliner believe there is a great benefit to being able to serve different individuals and businesses through Palm Beach County.
“I think our ability to be throughout Palm Beach County enhances our ability to represent our clients in a multitude of their different businesses,” Lubliner said. “We have clients, obviously, who have maybe a business in Wellington or they live in Wellington, and they own horses, yet they have a business that they own in Boca Raton or in West Palm Beach. So, they don’t have to feel like they need to retain an attorney in each city. It allows us to give them full coverage.”
Greenstein & Lubliner LLP has several offices, including one in Wellington. For more information, call (561) 222-2222 or visit www.greenstein-law.com.
