The Passing of a Law Enforcement Defender

On September 28, 2009, Stephen Greenberg, Esq. died in a tragic car accident in West Virginia. Steve, who had just turned 43, was counsel to Local 205, and one of the top attorneys in the Teamsters Legal Defense Fund. As a University of Pittsburgh Law School graduate, Steve skillfully represented numerous law enforcement members throughout Pennsylvania in civil and criminal matters.

Carl Haynes, Director of the Teamsters Public Services Division, recalled the standing-room only sessions held at our annual conference, “where officers, business agents, and stewards would be in awe with the knowledge Steve imparted and the passion with which he expressed his convictions. We all mourn the loss of an important warrior with Steve’s passing.”

Friends and family have established a special fund in Steve’s memory to aide his two children. Donations can be made payable to the “Mara and Sam Greenberg Benefit Fund” and mailed to 1239 Windermere Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15218.
