Howard Bruce Leff

I retained Howard after my first lawyer fell short of my expectations. He came in and immediately got himself familiar with every aspect of my case. He understood the difficulties of dealing with my narcissistic spouse and knew exactly how to handle my situation. He’s very firm but fair, just what... I needed in order to get the outcome that my children and I deserved. He’s very attentive, replies promptly to any questions or inquiries and treats his clients with compassion. He takes great pride in his work and it shows in his practice. I’m so pleased with Howard and his staff and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a marital lawyer, Howard is the bomb!

If you are looking for the BEST attorney, look no further! I have been divorced for 10 years (we chose to mediate) but needed a smart and tough attorney when my x-husband filed for a downward modification among other things! Howard Leff fit the bill! I was so nervous and stressed because I have 2 yo...ung children, and many more years of child support. I was so relieved after meeting and working with Howard. We won the case - my x-husbands motion was denied and dismissed! Howard was as happy as I was. I would highly recommend Howard Leff to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgable attorney that works his hardest to produce the best results!

Howard Leff came highly recommended to me, after my 3 ring circus of a divorce with a very inexperienced lawyer. After my divorce was finalized in July 2012, my ex-husband served me with bogus accusations in a custody case. I wanted the best lawyer for this and Howard certainly was that. He is ext...remely knowledgeable of matrimony and custody laws. He listens to his client and their family and prepares them for court. He would prefer to settle things out of court, which saves his client a lot of money, but he is ready for the challenge and the fight of a trial, if need be. He is very thorough and doesn't let anything slip by him. He keeps track of his client's paperwork and tells them everything they need to know. His client is number 1 to him. My custody case took a year to close, (not his nor my fault, but the ex's fault). During this time, Howard proved over and over that my ex-husband and his lawyer lied about everything and they couldn't even keep track of their lies and they would contradict themselves over and over. The judge was not pleased with them, but Howard was Golden and so was I. Howard was right there by my side the entire time. He would return my calls and emails promptly. My 21 year old daughter interrogated him to make sure he passed her test to protect her siblings and he gladly answered her, respected her and listened to her concerns. A couple of years later I asked Howard to represent me in Support Court to ensure that my support payments are controlled by the State. He was right by my side again and I would chose no one else ever, but Howard. He is an experienced, knowledgeable, quick thinker, organized and a smooth talker.....The Best in New York!!!

Great and most honest attorney out there!! I hired Howard Leff after I found out and filed with Bar Association against my first lawyer for fraudulent charges. (that's a different post). Needless to say, I was very hesitant and skeptical in hiring another attorney until I found Howard Leff. Howa...rd did all the leg work that the other lawyer never did but charged me for it. I went through a tough time in my divorce but Howard guided me and supported me through the entire time. The time when I really grew respect and trust for Howard was when my youngest daughter had to go in for surgery. (thank god nothing serious and she was fine) My ex and I sat down in this crucial time and decided to come up with a settlement and present it to our lawyers. The first thing that Howard did mention is that I am giving my ex an amazing deal but if we go to court I will DEFINITELY get you a better deal! The RESPECT and TRUST came to me when I really didn't know what to do.......He pulled me aside and said to me..... "Joe, it's a great deal but if we go to court it's going to cost you about $30,000 that you'll have to pay me or with the deal you guys came up with..... over the years the cost will be about the same. But, the money will be going to your kids and not me." Now totally confused and really not knowing what to do..... Then he said to me....."if you were my son, I would do the deal you guys worked out. At least you know the money is effectively filtering down to your kids in some way!" At that moment, I knew that Howard was sincere and honest! Not just looking to just take me to the bank and run! If I had to go through a divorce again, which i'm not going to, I would absolutely hire Howard again. If I had to, in 3 words, describe Howard, those words would be: HONEST, SINCERE & TRUSTWORTHY!!
