Divorce / Internat'l Property and Custody Nightmare

Even with strong opposition from my ex’s attorneys, Leah transformed my extremely complicated circumstances into an advantageous divorce that meets my needs. Not only did she help me understand the legal intricacies with simple language but she was proactive, gave me excellent advice, had a strong s...trategy for moving things forward to a completion and maximized the long term arrangements with my ex and child. She has an excellent instinct for when to dig in her heels and when to compromise. In retrospect, I understood that Leah built in a huge number of future safety nets that other divorce attorneys never even discuss with their clients. Leah is superior to my friends' attorneys and I would be happy go back to her if I ever needed future enforcement.

Outstanding Attorney

Ms. Ross and her team are outstanding! I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what an outstanding job that she is doing for me. She is a caring, passionate, dedicated and effective attorney who is representing me in my complex divorce case. I highly recommend her.

Amazing job!

Leah has been an amazing attorney through the entire process of an extremely difficult post divorce enforcement proceeding. She knew my case & history better than I did at times. She was extremely honest, professional, responsive and when the time came she was like a mother lion protecting her young.... There is not enough room here to say all I'd like to so in short Leah is one of the best lawyers out there! Thank you for all you've done and continue to do.

Mr. Rosado

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.

Client Review

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.

Litigation lawyer | Mar 28

Relationship: Co-worker

"Rarely does an attorney, who is concomitantly professional, intellectually curious, hardworking, down-to-earth, and passionate about the serving each client she encounters, come along. Leah Ross is that attorney. During my tenure as a domestic violence prosecutor at the Kings County District Attorney’s Office, I had the great privilege to work with Ms. Ross. Each year, Ms. Ross consistently garnered successful trial results, displayed professionalism and sympathy with victims and witnesses, and demonstrated the utmost dedication to her craft. Despite handling an extremely heavy caseload, containing cases ranging from assault to rape to attempted murder, Ms. Ross applied the same attention to each case, as if it were her only. She is a smart, compassionate, and dedicated trial attorney. I wholeheartedly endorse her."
