Just save yourself the trouble of looking any further and hire Howard. He is a caring, compassionate realist who won't waste your time. His staff is wonderful to work with and their work is timely and professional. My husband and I hired Howard after a nasty custody battle for the follow up child support issue. We live in Virginia and had hired a different attorney to represent us in the custody piece, which was a huge mistake. At first Howard hesitated to take our case until digging into the law a bit, and then he was on a mission. His gusto was refreshing, as other Long Island lawyers were unwilling to take our fight, that New York could not modify an out-of-state child support order. Long story short, Howard dug his heels in and we won the case, and he did it with a style that made every other New York attorney we worked with over the preceding three years look like garbage. Howard always made himself available to us, and he is a fighter. I cannot recommend this man enough. I know if Howard had been our lawyer for our custody case, we would have custody of my step-daughter.
I used Howard for my divorce a couple years ago and I can say that he is a very dedicated attorney that truly cares. My case was anything but easy, and I could tell he would get just as emotional as I did when we hit roadblocks or obstacles. He really cares. In fact, my case was in final negotiations while Howard was on vacation with his family, and he must have destroyed his entire vacation spending it on the phone with me from his family's retreat. Howard was relentless in ushering this to the finish and I cant thank him enough.
I came to meet Howard in 2016..i was recomended to him by a friend in the gym..My now ex wife and iI had just begun divorce preceedings when she decided to use my children against me and alienate me from them.One of my children is autistic and Howard couldnt have performed better..He represented me from family court all the way through my final divorce.he fought for my sons and I fearlessly..He is also a very prepared trial lawyer who excells in this capacity..I highly recomend him for any legal matter especially when children are involved..
Howard represented me better than I could have imagined. My opinions were valued and my doubts and concerns were always reassured. Howard fought hard and always went above and beyond to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.
Howard not only knows what he is doing, but he also cares about his clients. He was able to work with me in terms of my needs and what was important to me, not only financially, but emotionally as well. I highly recommend Howard!
Howard is knowledgeable, professional, and knew exactly what strategy would work to get the best possible outcome in my child support case. Howard addressed all of my concerns in a candid, respectful manner, and kept me informed every step of the way. He was accessible at any time to answer all of my questions. Howard Leff truly is a man of integrity; highly confident, genuine, and dedicated to his client and their best interest. Five Star Attorney!
i was looking for a knowledgeable, professional divorce lawyer with my best interests in mind. i got that plus someone who was actually concerned with me during an arduous time. I was never pawned off to a "sub" attorney and he always got back to me right away no matter how silly my concerns might of been at the time. I always knew he had my back.
Before hiring Howard I interviewed around 6 lawyers to handle my custody and divorce cases, and I’m very glad I found Howard. My ex is a narcissist and Howard always got my back. Howard would answer every call, text and email. He is very dedicated, professional and trustworthy lawyer. He is also extremely patient and understanding of the emotions and frustrations of going through divorce. There were times when I thought this will never come to an end and because of him I got everything I requested. He was my very own guardian angel and I can’t thank him enough for everything he did for me and my daughter. How lucky was I to have found him!!!
Howard came highly recommended to me by another attorney. I don’t know what I would have done without him. He actually changed my life. So lucky to have had him (and still have him) as my attorney!!
Howard came recommended to me from a colleague, and quite frankly, it was the best recommendation I could've received. Howard was the 2nd attorney that I hired for my divorce; I only wish I had met him a year earlier. From my first conversation with Howard, he put my mind at ease, assuring me that he'd help me in anyway possible to get me through my divorce, and that he did. He was supportive and caring from the start. There were several times that I had to call Howard "off hours" and he immediately would answer the phone or return the call within minutes. He never once judged or assumed anything, he listened with open ears and guided me every step of the way. There were several times that I wanted to dig my heals in or just through in the towel and with Howard's guidance and reassurance, he got me through some very trying times. It was very clear the several times we had to go to court that he is also very well respected amongst other attorneys as well as court officials; that in itself was reassuring.I would highly recommend Howard to anyone who is going through any type of divorce. He is caring, supportive and firm. He gets the job done.
