With nearly two decades of experience representing individuals charged with serious criminal offenses, she has built a reputation for skillful advocacy, courtroom poise, and a deep commitment to upholding constitutional rights for her clients.

Greene gained national attention in 2026 when she was appointed to represent Nick Reiner, the son of acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, after his private defense attorney, Alan Jackson, withdrew from a highly publicized double-murder case. In February 2026, she entered a not guilty plea on Reiner’s behalf at his arraignment in Los Angeles County Superior Court, a high-profile proceeding that attracted extensive media coverage due to the severity of the charges and the prominence of the family involved.

Her assignment to this case highlighted Greene’s experience and the crucial role of public defenders in the American legal system, particularly in managing complex, sensitive matters under intense public scrutiny.
