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.

Howard is knowledgeable, professional, and knew exactly what strategy would work to get the best possible outcome in my child support case. Howard addressed all of my concerns in a candid, respectful manner, and kept me informed every step of the way. He was accessible at any time to answer all of ...my questions. Howard Leff truly is a man of integrity; highly confident, genuine, and dedicated to his client and their best interest. Five Star Attorney!

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!

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 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!!!
