Kay

Henry was very professional, honest and answered my questions. I would definitely recommend him for legal help. A divorce is one of the most stressful situations a person can go through. Henry did his best to make the legal part of it go very smoothly.

Amazing Attorney!!

I have recently worked with Mr. Henry Lung, regarding post divorce modifications to my divorce stipulation. Mr. Lung came highly recommended by a family member. Upon meeting him, I immediately knew that I was in good hands. Mr. Lung is warm and welcoming and very patient; more importantly, he is e...xtremely well versed in the area of matrimonial, divorce and family law, as well as in other areas of law. He spent a great deal of time listening to my concerns and working with me to prepare for our court appearance. Mr. Lung represented me in a most professional manner. He defended my position and was successful in having modifications granted to my divorce stipulation. I am finally more financially and emotionally secure in providing for the needs of my young daughters. Throughout my time working with him, Mr. Lung was prompt in responding to my phone calls and emails. He reassured me when I was feeling confused and anxious. If you are searching for an excellent attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Henry Lung!!

Honest, Caring, and Hardworking

My wife and I had a very challenging immigration case, that many lawyers would not take on. However, when we approached Mr. Lung he assured us that even though the case wouldn't be easy, and that it would take a lot of hard work, that he was confident in his ability to get the job done. Needless to s...ay, after a few years of consistent dedication to our case, we have reached our ultimate goal of obtaining my wife's citizenship and there is no way this would have been done without this prestigious lawyers help! We highly recommend Mr. Lung. Thank you Henry!

Thank you Josh for writing these nice comments. For anyone who reads this, Josh & his wife are a young couple that I can tell are very happy together. In my 18+ years of law practice, I have represented many young clients (under 30 yrs old) & it is very true that some young clients are immature, not dependable & can change their minds without warning. But some young people such as Josh & his wife are very reliable & easy to work with. It's a reminder for me that every client is different & unique & each case comes with its own challenges. I am very grateful to have met Josh, who did not grow up in the Northeast & his wife, who are now raising young children. Many blessings to your family & thank you again.

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.

Best Lawyer in New York State and more

My case started when the attorney at my employer informed he had just received a request for information for garnishing my wages.I was referred to Henry.There are not enough characters allowed in this box to explain how knowledgeable,professional,dedicated,helpful and genuine Henry is. He ended up ha...ving to file motion after motion as we were dealing with a terrible Law Firm that was hired by the opposite side. This Law Firm submitted false affidavit to the court, failed to give the Judge's order to stop any action against me until the hearing so my bank froze all my bank accounts leaving me with no resource to pay my bills or put food on the table. Henry reacted extremely quickly and worked before and after hours to make sure he did everything in his power to reverse the freeze and stop them from any further fraudulent activities. Without him, I am not sure what situation I would be in today. He gave me my life back and I will be forever grateful to him for going above and beyond in a desperate situation.Henry is everything every lawyer should be.You can count on him to have your best interest in mind and at heart.

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.”
