Divorce is an emotional and stressful time. However, Ms. Liou placed all my concerns at ease during our consultation and formal meeting. I wanted to be certain that my decision to end my failing marriage was handled in the right way and that my children would be provided for, while not having to deal without any added stress about the legal process. All matters were handled professionally and in a timely manner. Extremely thankful to have had Ms. Liou handle my divorce.
Ms. Liou was such a pleasant person to work with during the difficult period of going through my divorce. She was efficient, affordable, and so caring. I had my divorce completed within a just few months, and her staff kept me informed every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Ms. Liou to everyone.

Best in NYC
The law firm of Liou & Masionet is highly recommended by me. Ms Liou represented me post divorce with the retirement plans for both parties, which started right before COVID pandemic. During & post pandemic, everything was delayed. After the courts reopened things were in disarray because the court was unable to locate some important court papers. Ms Liou was very determined & resourceful in doing everything in her power to accomplish the goal at hand. Ms Liou kept me informed of everything on a timely manner & always reassured me. Ms Liou is very professional & passionate about her work & treated me like family. I’m very happy with the awesome service Ms Liou provided me & will highly recommend her to everyone.

Ms. Liou gets it done
Leta Liou is the reason my somewhat complicated divorce was finalized - and why I was able to stay calm during the process. After interviewing several lawyers, all of whom seemed focus on going to court and creating a drawn-out process, I spoke to Ms. Liou and knew she was the right fit for me. She's calm, focused, and not interested in being unnecessarily litigious. She managed my expectations consistently and helped me process difficult decisions. Cannot recommend her enough.

No 1 Lawyer
When I was served divorced papers from my wife I was lost, confused, and really didn't know what to do. I was fortunate enough to speak with Attorney Leta Liou and discuss my matters. Liou & Maisonet Attorney office was God sent. They were professional, and Clear let me not stress how clear they made things for me. Leta Liou slowly explained every step and always communicated with divorce. They made me feel secure through this whole divorce process. I know every divorce is different, but I have to say my whole Divorced matter was completed in less than 3 months with Attorney Leta Liou. I can't thank her enough for making me happy. Thank you again Leta Liou your the Best of the BEST!

An outstanding lawyer
My case became a little more complicated than I anticipated. I had to go to the court in the end, but Leta guided me through the process until I got the result I wanted. From the time I first spoke to her on the phone, she was straightforward and efficient. She was kind and calm also. She was extremely helpful and answered all my questions in a very time-efficient manner every time I needed more information to make my decisions. Her experience and knowledge really made the difference and saved me. I trusted her 100%. Thank you so much for everything :)

Pre-nup services
Ms. Liou drafted a pre-nup for my wife and I in the agreed time frame and within the quoted retainer fee (no hidden charges). She was a pleasure to deal with and offered great insight into the structure of the contract and the clauses that should be included. She also took the time to discuss my concerns and offer solutions based on experience.

I can't say enough about Leta. Every time we met she put my mind at ease. She made the process absolutely painless and I feel so lucky to have worked with her on such a painful situation. She answered everyone of my questions in a very clear and easy to understand way, that alone was worth it. Thank you again Leta!

She works with you to get you the best and most reasonable settlement. She is on your side every step of the way and handles all from the start. She made the divorce process simple and painless. Her office staff, Jennifer, is exceptionally wonderful as well. She always responds to your emails and phone calls. Never leaves you hanging.

This is her forte!!!
I did a few consultations before hiring Leta. She sticks out Bc she is professional and straightforward, while being compassionate and comforting. Sounds unusual for a lawyer right?? Do not hire a lawyer that dabbles a little here and a little there in law., huge mistake. This is all Leta does, this is her field. She answered all questions completely and accurately, and he prices were extremely fair and cheaper than the morons I had consultations with that basically scared the crap out of me., with what my ex could take etc... she was able to project what I should expect. And was able to turn me from a nervous wreck to a calm client. The peace of mind she provided alone was worth every penny and more. She was prompt with responses and my numerous inquiries along the way. (Trust me, I like to be a very well informed client, the questions were plentiful). I cannot say enough good things about her and her staff. I am now happily divorced and extremely happy with the outcome!

I knew Leta was the one to handle my case the moment I first called her office. She was very helpful from the start and very patient and willing to answer any questions. I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney to go through a divorce.
