OUR HISTORY

Founded on Principle

Greystone Law was founded in 1984 by Richard Greystone with a conviction that great legal work begins with listening. From a single office on Lexington Avenue, the firm has grown into a respected practice serving clients across the tri-state area.

Today, we remain a deliberately small firm. We believe that limiting our caseload allows us to deliver the preparation and personal attention that complex legal matters demand. Every client works directly with a senior attorney from initial consultation through resolution.

We believe the best outcomes are built on thorough preparation and honest counsel. We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, and we never take a case we don't believe we can handle well.
Every client works directly with a senior attorney. We return calls promptly, explain developments in plain language, and keep you informed at every stage. You should never have to wonder what's happening with your case.
We deliberately limit our caseload so we can invest the time and focus each matter deserves. Our attorneys combine decades of experience across complementary practice areas, giving us the depth to handle complex, multi-faceted situations.
We believe in transparent, predictable fees. Most matters are handled on an hourly basis with detailed invoices, but we also offer flat-fee arrangements for estate planning and real estate closings. We discuss costs openly before any work begins.
