Leonard I. Sharon

Lenny said he had done divorce cases in the past, he also bragged about how he handled cases for the good fellows in New York witch was a lie, and then he denied he said it and called me a lier, he let the court clean me out and left me homeless, I had two houses and they gave them both to my X wife,... all Lenny did was take my money, I lost everything including what the judge said I could keep, how does this even happen?? He kept telling me he needed more money for things I didn’t understand, I would never hire him again and I would not refer him to anyone unless I didn’t like the person I’m referring him to, if you hire him you better watch your back and your pocket..

Not cheap but you get what you pay for, he knows how to get it done. To those who complain about losing a retainer after charges dropped, sometimes that's the way it goes. When a DA finds out he is on your side they may not want to fight against him in court knowing he is a formidable litigator. ...

I'm a junior in college and ran into some overzealous cops at the Sacco River last fall. Although I didn't do anything illegal, the cops scooped me up with a friend who had an illegal substance on his person. I paniced and called "Lenny" after a google search. He was all friendly and concerned at f...irst but said he needed a $5,000 deposit from me before he could tell me if they even had a case or not. That's a lot of money to me, but I have a clean record and want to keep it that way, plus I thought he'd reimburse me if the case went nowhere. So I gave him $5,000 out of my college fund. Soon after that the DA called me and said the charges had been dropped. Yeah! I called my lawyer, told him the good news and asked if I would receive some money back from my deposit, since he didn't have to do anything on my hehalf (literally nothing!). Well the nice guy disappeared and he got all nasty with me and refused to give me a dime back. Seems to be some moral fiber missing there, I learned the hard way.

He required a huge retainer up front, for a case that was dropped before he did a lick of work, and then said "that's the way it goes...too bad for you". If he was worth his salt as an attorney, he would have known there was no case and wouldn't have required a big retainer (non-refundable) up front.... Or maybe he did know and is just unscrupulous. Either way, he's bad news.
