White Collar Defense

Greenberg Gross LLP has been recognized as one of the “Best Law Firms” in the practice area of White Collar Criminal Defense by U.S. News Media Group and Best Lawyers. Our ranks include a number of former federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, including several who have served as Chief of that office’s Southern Division, Chief of the Appellate Section, and Deputy Chief of the Civil Fraud Section.
