Posted by Jennifer | May 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Henry is King!

Henry was hired for my divorce case after my previous lawyer dragged her feet and took all of my money and did nothing for me. Upon meeting Henry, I knew from his confidence and knowledge that he was the man for the job of pushing my case along. I was right - Henry has pushed my case faster in 2 mont...hs than my last lawyer did in 6 months. I know that I can get into contact with Henry at any given time, as he is extremely passionate about his job and his clients and seems to never rest until he has finished for the day (or night). I’m so happy to be going through this process with someone u can really trust. Thanks, Henry!

Thank you Jennifer for your nice words - I have enjoyed working with you & our case should have been aggressively advanced by your former lawyer, which you & have talked about so many times. It is my pleasure to represent you & thank you again!

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 Impressive, Creative, Knowledgeable and Different (In a good way)

I had a free consultation with Henry Lung regarding a long, drawn out divorce that has been royally screwed up by my prior counsel. I am in the process of trying to divorce a controlling, malignant narcissist (look up "divorcing a narcissist" on Google, it's HELL and you are NOT allowed to leave them...). Henry took his time with me (almost two hours!) and was extremely informative. I would like to stress that most divorce attorneys that I've consulted with charged for the consultation. Henry did not, which was greatly appreciated as after almost six years of litigation, a few pennies saved helps a lot. He answered all of my questions and outlined several strategic courses of action. I was very impressed at how he thinks "out of the box" and how he's not afraid to stand up to certain judges when he feels they are wrong, as evidenced by reviewing some of his other cases and resulting in one judge recusing herself from his case! Very impressive. Henry is different. This is one attorney who I feel will really "have my back" . My prior attorneys ( to be reviewed shortly) were afraid of this same judge, made many mistakes, and handicapped me greatly costing me over $100,000.00 in lost funds. I highly recommend Henry and will be hiring him.

Henry Lung is a Trustworthy, Honest and Extremely Talented Attorney

I HIGHLY recommend Henry to anyone needing honest, expert advice. Henry advised me on the immigration process for my fiancee's visa into the U.S. He simplified the confusing, and sometimes contradictory, USCIS application process by explaining very clearly what our options were, answering all of... our questions and drawing on his experience from prior successful cases. Henry is very patient, knowledgeable and works hard for his clients. Henry even suggested ways for me to save money by handling certain ongoing aspects of the immigration application process on my own (under his guidance). What a great guy!

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.”
