This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top-notch

As a multi-unit business owner I often use the services of Mr. Shalit to review my contracts, leases, and any other miscellaneous issues that may arise. For 3+ years Mr. Shalit has proved me with sound advice and has always been able to resolve all matters effectively. I would recommend Mr. Shalit to... anyone looking for an attorney that is direct, knowledgeable and cares to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients.

With high recommendation

I do not live in the state of New York and needed to find a NY attorney to deal with my matter. Mr. Leo Shalit was recommended to me and I am so grateful that he was. Mr. Shalit is knowledgeable, thorough, and got the results I was hoping for. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an at...torney.

Super Lawyer

Fantastic, professional service from start to finish. Mr. Shalit expertly handled my case, moved things along, advocated for me relentlessly and took time out of his busy day to make sure I was comfortable with everything that occurred. I could not be more pleased with his services. I definitely reco...mmend Mr. Shalit.

Personal Injury

My husband sustained a personal injury in which we hired Mr. Leo Shalit. Upon meeting and hiring Mr.Shalit, we felt very confidant with Mr.Shalit's expertise. From the beginning Mr.Shalit showed to be professional and knowledgeable. The case was settled in less than a year and Mr.Shalit was able to o...btain an adequate amount if money for the injuries sustained. We are very pleased. We will recommend Mr.Shalit to anyone!!

Excellent - A True Professional

Mr. Leo Shalit is a true professional. He went above and beyond my expectations. He consistiently kept me up to date and was always approachable in a quick, timely fashion. His guidance and support throughout my time of need was exceptational! My expeirence was extremly pleasent, highly inteligent a...nd his approach was extremely benifical to my case. To be honest, in the way he communicated with me, made me feel like my case was the only priority he had. Prior to obtaining his services I had shopped arround on this site, EVERY law office i had called, it was the same old thing- speak with an annoying receptionist that quized me and made me feel like i was already on trial prior to speaking with the lawyer that could only ask questions not answer any, and when I did eventually get a call back from the multiple Lawyers (day or two later) they made me feel intimitated as if my case was hopeless and only they could help at a tremendous cost even before going over the case. Mr. Shalit was so different, we met, looked over EVERYTHING in detail, gave me my options and the different approaches and possible outcomes, and gave me a extremly fair price . While working with him I could tell what a straight up guy he was and the way he worked on my case, no matter if it was a weekend or in the evening he always contacted me back on the spot. I highly recomend his services and will continue to use his services for future . He is a lawywer that you can count on!
