The Professor

In 2008, while still practicing law, LW Greenberg began teaching law classes at USD (University of San Diego). When Professor Greenberg began teaching, she quickly realized the importance of techniques that kept her students interested in concepts of law by using charts, summaries of popular cases and divorce forms from celebrities. Amazingly, these teaching materials were the beginnings of her first textbook. 

Professor Greenberg completed the first draft of the California Family law book in early 2016. After finishing the first draft, she asked two retired California judges and a law commissioner to review the book. They were all incredibly positive about this first book. Their comments are on the JUDGE ENDORSEMENTS page.

When Author Greenberg was trying to decide how her name should appear on her books, she decided to use initials and Esq. (short for Esquire.) Although many believe that Esq. stands for attorney, as did LW Greenberg Esq., Esquire can apply to other professions. A judge so stated in a 2017 California case, PEOPLE v. STARSKI (2017) 7 Cal.App.5th 215. However, since LW began her writing career with LW Greenberg Esq., it will remain a part of her name as an author forever.
