Richard D. Greenfield

Richard D. Greenfield has relocated his law office to New York City after many years out of state and continues his almost 40 years of complex litigation involving financial issues, including shareholder cases and lawsuits against banks and other financial institutions, and cases brought on behalf of trust and estate beneficiaries. Richard recently spoke at the International Symposium on Economic Crime, held at Cambridge University in England, and continues to speak at CLE courses around the country. Richard and his wife, Peggy, also a lawyer, live in Palm Beach, Fla., and have maintained a second home for the last six years outside Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand. They have recently added third and fourth homes with an apartment high up on San Francisco’s Russian Hill and a starkly contemporary residence in the hills just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. When asked where he lives, Richard says: “On planes!”
