Howard Bruce Leff

I retained Howard when my children were 4 months old. It was the most stressful time of my life. From the beginning he didn't lie to me, he didn't tell me what he thought I 'wanted' to hear, he told me what to expect as an outcome. He was realistic. He treated me like a normal person, not like I ...was just someone who was paying him to do a service. I have heard many people complain that their attorney didn't respond to them in a timely manner or call them back. Howard always called back, and he didn't block his number. I had to retain him a second time, six years later, to fight for child support and arrears. Nothing was different, except that I felt like I'd know him too long. But kidding aside. We won that case. What makes Howard different from other attorneys. He's honest, even if its not exactly what you want to hear. He's actually calming when you are in a stressful situation. He's funny, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you are stressed out sitting in a court room, wanting to cry, it actually helps. But most of all, he is incredibly smart and knows the law. I hope I never have to hire him again. But for anyone looking for a great attorney, he would be someone I highly recommend.

Howard was referred to me by a local psychologist. He listens carefully and doesn't jump to conclusions. In a nonthreatening manner he engages in a Q & A to root out details to obtain a clear understanding of you and the problems associated to your case. His manner is friendly but serious about the... issues of your case. You will be educated in the fact finding process. Howard is experienced and draws upon the realities of "How the System Operates". His demeanor is: "I am here to help you and I want to", he cares. Just know that there are limitations out of our control set by past presidents in the court and our culture. The client isn't "just a number", among many clients where the attorney's mission is to process as many cases as possible in the quickest amount of time. I interviewed other attorneys before retaining Howard. The others appeared to have a preset formula approach: "plug in certain information and there will be a certain outcome. " Every case is unique and Howard made that clear from day one. He made no false promises. As my case proceeded, Howard was open to my reactions of developments and he accepted my input. My responses were not always what he might have anticipated; but we moved forward with a team approach.

I had a tremendous experience working with Howard Leff. he picked up my case after the attorney I was using suddenly passed away. Howard did not miss a beat and settled my case with grace and aplomb. He allowed me to move on with my life and realize that in fact there was light at the end of this lon...g tunnel. Thank you Howard.
