Great courtroom presence!!!!

Mr Greene, helped me resolve my issues, in. Court in a timely efficient manner, I would absolutely recommend him to anyone, who needs great counsel.

A very intelligent attorney with a lot of experience and compassion

Lee Greene's is the most experienced and patient litigation attorney that I have met. Patience is a rare quality found in a litigation attorney. However he carefully listened to all of our facts, analyzed the dispute from all angles and successfully dismissed our dispute. Litigation is a very stressf...ul event and his knowledge and experience gave us the confidence during a difficult time. On top of his extensive experience in litigation, his personality and professionalism makes him a great attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Greene for his services.

Excellent lawyer. Kind and honest human being.

Leland Greene is an excellent attorney, and not simply in the areas where he is a listed expert. Mr. Greene has one of the sharpest minds I have ever witnessed, which is the opposite of his tongue. His genuine kindness made it easy to confide in him the things that caused me to seek his help. I would... recommend Mr. Greene to anyone. To find a lawyer, or anyone for that matter, who is as sharp and non-judgmental as Mr. Greene is rare, if not impossible to find.

An Experiencesd Lawyer and A+ Litigator

Mr. Greene is the most experienced and knowledgeable trial Lawyer I have ever had the opportunity to retain for legal services. He is a Trial Lawyer, Litigator and an A+ negotiator. Lee, as he humorously reminds one to call him is friendly, humorous, and learned. I call him "a trial lawyer's human Li...brary and legal adviser to his peers." The reason is I had an occasion that an Attorney that worked for me relied on Lee's legal counsel and successfully got a foreclosure judgment for real property sale denied in Queens Supreme Court. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Greene's services to anyone seeking the assistance of a REAL Attorney at Law because he is an expert Litigator and qualified in his own right. Most Experienced and Patient Litigation Attorney I have met

Brilliant. Experienced. Wise. Honest. Effective

Mr. Green's impressive resume is only part of the story. Yes, A to Z he was the best attorney I have ever worked with. But what the resume misses is how supportive and confidence inspiring he was throughout my long slug fest. He anticipated, explained, and prepared for everything they tried. I ... knew I could sleep confidently at night and did.

Lawsuits and disputes lawyer | Mar 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Lee is a first rate consumer, mortgage debt, litigation, and appeal attorney. An attorney from Chicago who raved about Lee brought him to my attention 25 years ago. Although I live on the other end of the state when I personally wanted an attorney to pursue some sophisticated litigation I hired Lee. Lee's knowledge of the law, masterful written and oral presentations, and strategic skills are what everyone wants in an attorney but only few attorneys can deliver. The bonus is he cares and responds. When experience counts he is the go to guy - YOUR POWER OF ATTORNEY - in downstate."
