Esther L. Greenbaum knew that she wanted to be a lawyer at an early age. She spent several post-undergraduate years in New York City doing research and working on policy issues for various elected officials and political candidates. In 2007, Esther returned to New Orleans to attend Tulane Law School, where she realized that family law was her passion.

Esther practices family law primarily in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, where she’s obtained numerous no-fault and fault divorces, and tried multi-day custody and protective order cases, as well as those involving support and property issues. She is inspired by her clients, and relishes presenting arguments before Domestic Hearing Officers and Commissioners, and District Court Judges.

Esther remains a steadfast advocate for her clients because she cares deeply about helping people navigate the emotionally difficult and often complicated processes attendant to divorce, custody, property and occasionally domestic abuse litigation.

Esther has been selected as a top Family Law Attorney by New Orleans Magazine each year since 2022; was selected to Super Lawyers in 2024; was previously a member of the Loyola Law Family Law CLE Committee; and, is currently a member of the Tulane Law Family Law CLE Committee.

When she is not practicing law, Esther enjoys spending time with her wife and dog in Bayou St. John, volunteering at the no-kill animal shelter Animal Rescue New Orleans, running and practicing yoga in City Park, listening to live local music, seeking out delicious vegan food, and, traveling to new and interesting destinations.

Esther practiced family law with her mother, Barbara, at Barbara J. Ziv, LLC, from 2010 until 2022, when she took over the firm, as Esther L. Greenbaum, LLC, until recently. She is proud to be a new Associate at the distinguished family law firm of Winsberg, Heidingsfelder & Gamble.

Esther is licensed to practice law throughout the state of Louisiana.
