Howard Bruce Leff

Howard is extremely professional, knowledgeable, ethical, thorough and detail oriented. Personally, Howard is supportive, caring and understanding throughout the difficult divorce process. He is a man of character, integrity and compassion. He was there for me any time, day or night when I had a qu...estion, concern or stressful moment. He put me at ease and he guided me with his extensive experience and knowledge while helping me feel safe, protected and prepared. Howard fearlessly defended my children and me every step of the way. Howard worked tirelessly to get me the best outcome in my divorce. I could not have asked for more in a lawyer. He is amazing!

I hired Howard to represent me through my divorce. At the initial consultation, he made it clear that he would always deal with me and with the opposing attorney in a fair and ethical manner. He never once deviated from that statement. I always trusted everything that Howard told me. Honesty, however..., should not be confused with passivity. Howard fought for every salient point of my case with pit bull like tenacity. While it seems like there is never a clear winner in a divorce, I strongly feel that Howard got me as close to winning as possible.

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!!!

Howard Leff is an exceptional lawyer. Howard was highly recommended to me by a close friend and upon meeting him I was immediately happy with my decision. Going through a divorce is very difficult and stressful. As soon as I retained Mr. Leff as my lawyer all the stress was gone. From the beginning M...r. Leff worked with me to understand all the details of my divorce and to make sure that my requests were met. Anytime I had a question he answered without hesitation. At no point during my divorce did I ever feel uncertain or skeptical of the outcome. I was always kept up to date on what was happening by Mr. Leff and his amazing staff. I would recommend Howard Leff to anyone looking for a respectable, professional and personable lawyer.
