Judge Greenberg has the right mix of thoughtfulness and seriousness on the bench. He gives each side an opportunity to fully present his/her side. I lost my civil bench trial but felt that the judge carefully considered the issues before making a decision.

Maryland now ranks among the three most corrupt states in the nation, as reported in a study published by the Washington Post. Is it any surprise that Montgomery County, a seat of wealth and power, has become the epicenter of that corruption? Now here we have Judge Robert Greenberg of the Montgomery County Circuit Court. When it comes to overwhelming and irrefutable evidence of a cover-up of criminal acts by a fellow member of the bar, and even a fellow judge’s rewarding of that criminality, how does Judge Greenberg respond as he is required to do under Canon 3F of the Code of Judicial Ethics? You guessed it – “La La La La La I can’t hear you.”
Unable to find any law which would provide a convenient pretext to deny relief to the petitioner, and thereby sweep the whole embarrassment under the rug, he will instead seek out his own “facts” no matter how far-fetched and implausible. This is a judge who actually ruled that a litigant who properly entered an intersection on a green light, and had the right-of-way to complete passage through that intersection, and had carefully completed passage through 6 out of the 7 lanes at that intersection – was at fault for not driving fast enough to get out of the way of an illegal alien driver who subsequently blasted into that intersection at 96 mph and broadsided petitioner’s car, putting petitioner in the hospital with permanent injuries. As if the driver rightfully in the intersection is supposed to just vaporize into air to make way for an illegal who wishes to ignore the traffic already in the intersection. Would Judge Greenberg also blame the Nun in Manassas, Virginia, who was killed by an illegal alien driver who smashed into her car? This is the same judge that ruled that lack of jurisdiction does not provide automatic grounds for appeal from the District Court, or any grounds for that matter. This is the same judge that ruled that a judge’s pecuniary interest in the outcome of a case is not grounds for that judge to recuse himself, or even offer to recuse himself.

A very nice judge, with a good temperament. However, in a family law matter I think he completely blew the ruling. The result felt like he was trying to do what was safe rather than what was right.

Obviously very bright; very polite on the bench. However, he knows very little about family law or procedure. Also, he demonstrated an unwillingness to revisit his rulings (e.g., to address an issue he failed to address or decide).

I have tried two cases recently before Judge Greenberg and found him to be intelligent and careful about his applications of the law. He was polite to everyone and "right-on" with his application of the law and facts. I believe that everyone gets a fair deal with him and that he understands the law and applies it.
