He attended the public schools. In 1903, he began to practice law in New York City.
Greenberg was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 31st D.) in 1908.
He was again a member of the State Assembly (New York Co., 26th D.) in 1913, and was one of the Managers (i.e. assemblymen who acted as prosecutors) at the impeachment trial of Governor William Sulzer.
