Leopold Law LLC — Attraction in Hackensack

Mr. Howard Leopold was the lawyer that I should have started with. I wish I was introduced to him six years ago.

I represented myself six years ago in my divorce with my ex wife. Emotional guilt and limited financial resources clouded my judgment to self represent. I was under the misguided notion that I would not need a lawyer since the divorce was amicable and we both wanted out.

An avalanche of poor decisions all related to the divorce and subsequent lawsuits initiated by my ex wife regarding the divorce. Including choosing incompetent lawyers from another law firm all left me wanting for serious legal help and representation.

This is the crossroad where I am introduced to Howard Leopold. Howard was retained to help me Appeal an already tried case. The Appeal was an uphill battle from inception.

The many mistakes of a self represented divorce. The many mistakes of my case presented by incompetent lawyers in a subsequent lawsuit. The looming deadline of legal procedure to submit an Appeal to clean up all the errors of another incompetent attorney.

Howard Leopold grasped the soul of my legal problems and in the initial consultation made sense of every major nuance and distillates the arguments and sees the strong and not so strong arguments. His clarity of law and personable approach instantly put me at ease.

The Appeal filed was the initial step in reversing the bulk of all the missteps and mistakes. The highlights in the Appeal brought significant understanding to the courts and the opposition.

These key issues ultimately resulted in a settlement.

Something that would never have happened if not for the experience and approach that Howard Leopold offers.

I only wish I was introduced to his firm...

Howard is an outstanding lawyer!

With 25+ years of experience representing his clients in the NY & NJ area, plus the reviews of his previous clients is why I hired Howard when I needed a new lawyer for an old case. He responded within hours of my middle of the night online inquiry and scheduled a same day consultation to review my case due to the time sensitive response deadline entered upon my case. After our consultation he immediately contacted the opposing lawyer, advised the courts of being retained and drafted my motion for submission to make sure my voice would be heard. My family law case has been a black cloud over my life for 10 years, filled with emotional traumas for my daughter and I, so having to go back to court for any reason wasn't going to be a picnic. My case wasn't going to be easy and I felt defeated over the years, but Howard was very aggressive in court, presented a strong argument to the judge, asked the right questions during the deposition and trial, which resulted in a win for the first time in 9 years! All the stress that came with my case along the way was always offset by Howard making sure he explained the legal process thoroughly, provided me with examples of similar cases he’s represented and various options to make the best decisions for my situation.

Howard has always been professional, attentive and responsive to my calls, texts, emails and made sure not to leave anything to the last minute. He was always prepared for court, showed up early and reviewed next steps after every meeting. He always prepared quality documents, paid attention to details and never showed his hand to the opposing counsel. He always has his clients best interest at heart and he’ll always go to bat for you.

I highly recommend Howard! He’s...

I would like to recommend Howard law firm for any family legal issues you may have. He has been an outstanding advocate for me throughout a complicated and lengthy divorce process that spanned over two years. Despite facing numerous challenges with a non-cooperative ex-spouse, Howard stood by me throughout the challenging times.

He is quick on his feet, always ready with smart and strategic solutions to the most complex issues. Another good quality of Howard is he's always on top of the things; he calls you, texts you & emails you for the timeliness of things; doesn't believe in lingering. He's sometimes too fast so you might have to pause him if you are not clear.

Equally important, he was fair and reasonable in his billing, ensuring that I received great legal services without unnecessary financial strain. My earlier big name lawyer would count every minute, every penny and did double billing on many occasions due to several layers.

My two cents are, do your own research, talk to friends with similar issues & don't get stressed or depressed; this knowledge and awareness of laws with tidy document preparedness would make your lawyer's & your life easy. You're not fighting a case to be a winner but to be reasonably done with it quickly...
