Henry Lung

Henry Lung is literally the best lawyer in Long Island. He is honest, truthful, and hard working. I had a recent case, and he helped me get most of my charges dropped when I thought it would not be possible, but he made it work. I definitely recommend Henry for anyone who has a case in divorce and se...peration or criminal defense.

Compassionate professional

Despite me contacting Henry on Christmas Eve, he immediately stepped up to assist a seriously ill sibling. My sibling needed her will and several power of attorney documents notarized, quickly due to circumstances. Henry came out at 11:30 pm Christmas Eve to take care of the business. He was compa...ssionate, understanding, kind and professional. Henry even gifted, pro bono, his services for my sibling. It was one of the best gifts our family received this holiday!

This nice review was posted by the sister of a woman (named Kathy/Kathleen & of course her last name does not appear here) that attends my church here on Long Island. I received this phone call in the early afternoon of Christmas Eve, 2019 & was asked to notarize Kathy's signature that evening (or in the next few days) at a local hospital. I decided to go that same evening after my parents & sister had gone to sleep. I was at the hospital from approx. 11:30 PM until 12:45 AM on Christmas Day. I found Kathy to be very nice & I took care of the signature notarization. We were fortunate to find 2 nice women that were willing to serve as witnesses to the power of Attorney documents. I did not hesitate to do this at a very late hour on Christmas Eve because I felt that this was the type of kind act that a true Christian person would do. I wish Kathy & her sisters many blessings & I believe that she will make a full recovery.

No follow up.

I received a couple of messages from this attorney that i thought were helpful. I was thinking of hiring him and asked him what something like he recommended would cost. I received no response. He asked for my directly email address which I provided for him. I never received anything from him. I sent... him a couple of more messages and no response. Needless to say I will not hire this attorney.

It is now 3:25 PM on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2019 & I clicked on my reviews simply because after a lawyer is reviewed on Avvo, that lawyer will get an email notification from Avvo. My lovely client Yaritza wrote a nice review about me (see the review above this one) & as per Avvo's policies, I received an email from Avvo. You'll see that she identified herself by her first name. It's been my pleasure to work with her & her husband. Tonight (Sat), I am leaving in 10 min. to meet a new Immigration client in Queens (my office is in Nassau Cty, Long Is). Then after 2 hours with this new client, I plan to come back to meet another client & his mom who are driving from Brooklyn on a Sat. evening (my 4th time meeting with them) so that we can work on his mother's divorce case & legal malpractice case. Whoever wrote this 1 star review, he/she is entitled to write whatever this person feels entitled to. But I really doubt that this person is a true, disappointed client b/c if I make it a habit of working this late on a weekend afternoon, you can be sure that I make it my policy to return all phone calls & emails immediately. By the way, the name of the client that I'm driving to Queens now to meet is Laura (her real name) & when I get back, I am meeting with Lester & his mother Eulalia. Whoever wrote this review, I have no hard feelings towards you. But at least you can be honest about the real reasons why you decided to write this about me. So be it & the best of success to you in the future.

Very Comforting

My anxiety about my husband’s immigration case was rising for a year and had consulted with many lawyers and paralegals who didn’t make me feel comfortable about the immigration process. When I first got in contact with Henry, he was able to make me feel much more at ease with his knowledge and his... ability to help us keep things simple. Henry was clear and cautious with every instruction he gave us. I could feel that he had our best interest in mind. I’m so grateful to have found him when I did.

My pleasure to work with you (Yaritza) & your husband. Yes I remember you saying that you shopped around for at least 6 months looking for an Immigration lawyer that you felt comfortable with before hiring that person. I am glad that you chose me & I look forward to completing this case so that your husband can have his green card in the US. Happy holidays to you & many thanks

Very good lawyer

Henry handled my divorce and immigration case which both turned out to be SUCCESSFUL. We worked together for almost a year and I was really impressed with his dedication and passion for his career. He treats you as a friend and genuinely empathizes with you on your situation. He goes above and beyond... to make your appointments work even if it means meeting you on a weekend or late evening. He answers my calls and my emails very promptly. Takes his time meeting you and explaining things to you. He gets things done in a timely manner. Very professional. I 100% recommend Henry!

This review was written by a lovely young woman who hired me to remove the 'conditions' on her permanent residency, which required us to complete a divorce case. Also, the Hearing Officer for the case was very nice & patient, so sometimes the right elements come together so long as the attorney & the client continue the push the case properly. Thank you again for taking the time to do this!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Suspension issued in NY, 2020

updated on 09/08/2021

Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Censured issued in NY, 2013

updated on 02/11/2020

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Henry’s comment:

“I was issued a 'public censure' in 2013 for something that happened in 2008-09 when I donated money to a woman who was elderly & sick & always complained about needing money for surgery on her back (she did not have health insurance at the time & I don't know if she is still alive). This was a matter that involved an allegation of my sharing a fee that I had earned with a non-lawyer. This situation did Not involve any allegations of legal malpractice at all.”
