Leon is a true professional. I've been very pleased with the service he provided on a family matter. Although lawyers are a dime a dozen in New York City, It's hard to find one you can truly trust with your personal business. The staff were also a pleasure to work with and communication was great.

Leon negotiated a custody arrangement for me when my husband I were separating. Leon ressponded to me at all hours and put me at ease. He also thought of a lot of different scenarios where I might have problems and made sure it was covered in the parenting plan we wrote up. A nice person and an even better lawyer.

I hired Mr. Mindin because my ex refused to return our son after spending 3 weeks of August in a different state with him. Mr. Mindin filed an emergency order and got in front of a judge that same week. He was ordered to return the children back to my custody. I am very happy with the outcome of my case especially on such a serious and nerve wrecking matter.

I have been paying child support for the past 8 years, and recently had a major change in my finances. A friend of mine recommended I speak to Leon regarding getting a modification. I simply could no longer afford to pay what I was paying, and my ex was not understanding of the fact that I had to take a major pay cut! I met with Leon who explained the law and the court's position on child support modification. We filed the paperwork and went to court, and same day Leon was able to advocate on my behalf in front of the judge and my ex and get me a reduction in my biweekly payments. The legal fee was peanuts in comparison to what I'm gonna save in the reduced support payments!
