️ About Us
Lorber, Greenfield & Olsen, LLP has been a trusted name in civil litigation defense for over 46 years. Since 1980, we've built our reputation on successfully representing developers and general contractors in complex construction defect and casualty claims — and our AV® Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell is a testament to the caliber of work we deliver.
