Vanilla prenup went smoothly

Me and my partner were getting a prenup, nothing complicated. Leta was professional, fast, and helpful. I came in with some ideas of what I wanted, she explained the deal with prenups and gave me more specific things to think about, and everything went smoothly. Because this was so vanilla, this w...as an arrangement where my partner and I would have one attorney draft the prenup with all the requirements, and a second one would just represent the other party and approve it for a lower price. Leta was the former, in this scenario. It seems to have worked for us

Empathetic and Effective!

Leta represented me during the 2022-23 process of an uncontested divorce. Even though my ex spouse and I were amicable, it was still a very difficult time as we navigate through the details of children's custody and alimony. I was the spouse who had more to lose from financial sense and Leta listened... to my concern and helped me legally navigate a fair outcome. She was always responsive and really took the time to explain the divorce process, and the "why's' behind each statement in the divorce paper as we drafted it. She even gave me tips on how to approach talking to my ex as we negotiate. She took the time to listen and I was really impressed with how empathetic she was. I did not like some of the other lawyers who had personalities to be "out to get my ex". I was trying to move forward amicably but still makes sure my interests were protected. Leta was very upfront about how long a divorce process in NYC due to backlog and estimate that from filing separation to judge decree, it would take 1 year. She was spot on (illustrates her experience and honesty to not sugar coat). Overall she's made the most difficult process in my life bearable. I felt like my outcome was fair/expedient and fairly charged. I also want to compliment her paralegals who were so prompt in all their responses. Anytime I wanted to talk/email I always heard from them in less than 1-2 BD max. I've actually recommended her to another friend of friend who's seeking divorce too.

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 cou...rt 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!
