Howard Bruce Leff

Just save yourself the trouble of looking any further and hire Howard. He is a caring, compassionate realist who won't waste your time. His staff is wonderful to work with and their work is timely and professional. My husband and I hired Howard after a nasty custody battle for the follow up child su...pport issue. We live in Virginia and had hired a different attorney to represent us in the custody piece, which was a huge mistake. At first Howard hesitated to take our case until digging into the law a bit, and then he was on a mission. His gusto was refreshing, as other Long Island lawyers were unwilling to take our fight, that New York could not modify an out-of-state child support order. Long story short, Howard dug his heels in and we won the case, and he did it with a style that made every other New York attorney we worked with over the preceding three years look like garbage. Howard always made himself available to us, and he is a fighter. I cannot recommend this man enough. I know if Howard had been our lawyer for our custody case, we would have custody of my step-daughter.

I came to meet Howard in 2016..i was recomended to him by a friend in the gym..My now ex wife and iI had just begun divorce preceedings when she decided to use my children against me and alienate me from them.One of my children is autistic and Howard couldnt have performed better..He represented me f...rom family court all the way through my final divorce.he fought for my sons and I fearlessly..He is also a very prepared trial lawyer who excells in this capacity..I highly recomend him for any legal matter especially when children are involved..

Before hiring Howard I interviewed around 6 lawyers to handle my custody and divorce cases, and I’m very glad I found Howard. My ex is a narcissist and Howard always got my back. Howard would answer every call, text and email. He is very dedicated, professional and trustworthy lawyer. He is also extr...emely patient and understanding of the emotions and frustrations of going through divorce. There were times when I thought this will never come to an end and because of him I got everything I requested. He was my very own guardian angel and I can’t thank him enough for everything he did for me and my daughter. How lucky was I to have found him!!!

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!

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!!!
