Albert Louis Greenberg — A native of Rumania, but a resident of Newport since his early childhood, Mr. Greenberg, though one of the younger generations of Newport’s lawyers, has already made for himself an enviable reputation as an able and resourceful legal practitioner. He is also a popular member of several fraternal organizations and takes an active interest in public affairs.
Albert Louis Greenberg was born at Jassy, Rumania, March 28, 1900, a son of David and Rose (Wagner) Greenberg, both natives of Jassy, Rumania. His mother is now deceased, while his father, still a resident of Newport, is and for many years past has been successfully engaged in the barrel and old metal business in Newport. Having come to Newport with his parents at an early age, Mr. Greenberg was educated in the public grammar and high schools of this city. After graduating from the Rodgers High School, he took up the study of law at the Law School of Boston University, from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1925. Admitted to the bar of the State of Rhode Island in May 1926, he has since then been engaged in the practice of law alone and under his own name, with offices at No. 166 Thames Street. He enjoys a large and steadily growing practice and a very fine reputation in legal circles. Mr. Greenberg is a member of the board of directors of the Newport Palace of Sweets and a member of the Newport Bar Association. Other organizations, in which he maintains membership, include the following: Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity; Excelsior Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Royal Arcanum; and I. J. Josephson Lodge, Independent Order of Brith Abraham. In politics he is a supporter of the Republican party, and for a number of years he has been an active and popular member of the Young Men’s Republican Club of Newport. His religious affiliations are with the Touro St. Hebrew Temple of Newport.
He is fond of outdoor sports and especially of swimming. Mr. Greenberg is not married and makes his home with his father.
