Leah E. Ross

I truly hope you never find yourself in a position where you need a custody lawyer, but if you do, I can't recommend Leah Ross highly enough! She and her firm carried me through the most complicated, messy time in my life, when I honestly just could not see the other side of it. Leah Ross is so tou...gh and smart, and so incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and compassion - definitely a no-nonsense attorney who knows how to command a room, but who also was there for me every time I was overwhelmed with uncertainty, fear, the feeling of wanting to just throw in the towel. My case was a total roller coaster, and she expertly rode the waves of it, keeping me on track and helping me keep perspective on the bigger picture, always able to figure out a new strategy or change course if we needed to. Just having her by my side put me at ease when truly nothing and no one else could. In the courtroom, I watched her in awe. Thankfully we avoided trial, but after countless court appearances, I joked with her that the only reason I would've wanted a trial was to really see her in action! I am so relieved to finally be on the other side of my situation, and with a favorable result, which honestly seemed impossible to me when I was deep in it - I absolutely could not have gotten here without Leah.

Leah Ross represented me with a high degree of professionalism, dedication and tenacity. When I was caught up in a whirlwind of confusion, doubt and uncertainty her calm, methodical approach ultimately delivered to me both a divorce and custody settlement that I feel very fortunate to have as the re...sults could have much worse for me . The more time that elapse the more valuable my custody settlement becomes as it guarantees me a long lasting relationship with my daughter. Leah used all of the resources available to her at Johnson & Cohen and in the end, I felt, prevailed over unfounded, manufactured and defamatory claims made against me by the other side. A year later the other side of divorce is not so bad. Thank you, Leah.

Finding a competent lawyer to navigate through a legal process that holds the weight of your future in its hands, like it did for my brother, can be hard and nerve-wracking. Having already hired subpar counsel for his child-custody and divorce case, it was a relief when we found Leah. We hired her im...mediately and looking back on it today, my brother and I are so glad that we did. I was present and involved in every briefing and conference to provide support and an objective view for my brother and Leah graciously welcomed this collaboration. Not only did she have my brother's best interest at hand at all times, but she was also very honest with him throughout the process. She did a great job at managing his expectations. She welcomed and used my feedback frequently for my brother's case while providing my brother with invaluable insight about what to expect throughout the litigation process. Leah also strategized with her adept team at Johnson & Cohen when necessary, thus ensuring the best possible outcome for my brother's case, which today proves to have been a priceless advantage. My brother was finally able to normalize his life again as a result of hiring Leah as his legal counsel. Ultimately, Leah was a pleasure to collaborate with and is truly a gem.

I was going through a custody battle where I had temporary custody. Leah did not only help get the outcome I had hope but made the process as painless as possible. Her level of empathy and compassion made me feel at ease that I was in the best hands. Leah was knowledgeable and experienced in the fie...ld, being able to answer all my questions. I would recommend her services without any reservation.

In January , 2010 I hired the services and Johnson and Cohen. I had a positive experience many years ago with this firm and returned to them. I was introduced to Ms. Ross, who has been a positive force in my on going case. Leah is extremely well read, intelligent, knowledgable, kind, right to the poi...nt, and never too busy to listen to me when I need the time of day. My case has been very difficult ,and Leah has been in the forefront in my custody battle retaining my grandson. Due to her perseverance I have maintained custody of my grandson when everyone said it would never happen.She is well respected in her field and is clearly a sharpshooter in her profession. Due to her strong sense of ethics, she will become, in my opinion, one of our top attorneys in Rockland County.
