Highly Qualified

After paying a significant amount of money to an attorney (let me preserve his name) who messed up my family's immigration case, we lost the case. My mother was referred to Mr Leonard B. Sukherman by a friend whom he had successfully worked on her immigration case.  Mr. Leonard as our new attorney, ...my mother appealed and worn the case. Our family of five was reunited again bringing the greatest bundle of happiness in our life. We got our green cards and now our citizenship.  Mr Leonard's fees were even way much cheaper than our first family's attorney who failed us. Mr Leonard showed us a great sense of professionalism, caring and knowledgeable about issues at hand, he updated us and was in contact through out our case.  Payment for good work done will always be more work. I highly recommend Mr Leonard B. Sukherman to anyone seeking immigration help, you will get maximum value of your time and any resources spent. Thank you very much Mr Leonard B. Sukherman, God bless you.

Excellent attorney

Retained this attorney to remove judgement from my credit history. He worked very well with the company which did judgement against me and was able to remove it. Everything was done in professional manner, great communication level. I was able to reach him any time I needed to discuss my case. I high...ly recommend him as a professional attorney.

Stay away...

I am a single mother, went for a consultation with Leonard on how to protect my parental rights from a child's father, who is trying to take full custody. Leornard's response was that he sees no problem in that I'll get to see my child once in a couple of weeks. "So what?" he said. "So he is go...ing to take your child away.. where is the problem?" - these are his exact words... I could not believe my ears. Such arrogance, insensitivity and incompetence from someone who calls himself a lawyer. Besides a show of arrogance I did not receive any objective information. He took $50 for this visit. For your own sake - avoid this guy.

Replied last November 13, 2013

When client appeared for her initial consultation, she was under extreme stress, due to the circumstances, and began to re-ask questions that I had already answered. In the legal industry it is not uncommon for attorneys to present to the client various scenarios that could transpire as a result of litigation, which is exactly what I did for this client. Although my responses may have seemed blunt to her, I prefer to explain things in black and white so the client understands that the results of litigation are unpredictable. As previously mentioned, the client was distressed and asked the same question 2 to 3 times during the consultation. I did my very best to explain everything to the client. Furthermore, this client did not hire me as stated above, and we did not handle her case, as she only came in for a consultation, and never retained my firm.
