In 2002, Kramer, Green, Zuckerman, Greene & Buchsbaum, P.A., was born. The firm’s continued success and longevity are based on a shared passion for the law, mutual respect for each other and a “team approach” with their clients.
The firm combines large firm representation with small firm attention offering clients legal solutions and unparalleled access to the attorneys handling their case.
