Howard B. Arber

This attorney has been sanctioned for bad business practices by the courts. He is not accredited by BBB. On Yelp and Google he has bad reviews. You will find many instances of his clients being shafted by him. I crossed paths with Mr. ARBER and found him to be unscupulous and barely practicing law co...rrectly. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, AS OTHER REVIEWS HAVE DONE !!

I hired Howard Arber to represent me, it was a big mistake. the case was, I co-signed for a loan for a friend and he stopped paying the lender, therefore, the lender came after me. Howard, he accused me of fraud, he said all kind of things to me and made me feel low. He showed no consideration and... he failed to conduct adequate legal research. One day, Arber mentioned to me that he is friend with the lender's attorney and he accused me of defrauding the lender and then I fire him. One day I hired another attorney, she told me Arber was supposed to file some papers with Nassau county clerk, he never did and it was too late to act on it. I located a few attorneys to try to sue Howard Arber for gross negligence, none of them wanted to take the case. They told me it was conflict of interest. This man should have lost his practice license, and thrown in jail like a criminal.

I hired Mr. Arber as my attorney. He represented in a criminal case which was ok. He does make promises he can’t keep. I retained him for a additional case which corresponded with the first. He gave me a price verbally of $3500. I gave him $1000 as a retainer so I thought. I asked for a itemized bill... a month later and he got rather nasty. He gave me additional bill of now $5000 asking for more money. He claims he never received my letters of recommendation but they were all sent to me bcc’d. I was called a couple weeks after to be informed I was being charged for “research” even though he claimed he has worked in matter such as my case. He then sent me several threatening emails that he would stop services and take my $1000 but could not prove the work done. I am not defamatory his character. I just trusted his words and it’s hard not to hire a lawyer guy can not trust. Sad actually. Do your research before hiring him he’s too pricey to be gambling with your future.
