What My Clients Say

An incredibly experienced, caring, and honest lawyer.

Howard Leopold is the lawyer that every client deserves. Not only is he competent and well-versed in the legal landscape, he is also practical, honest, and very mindful of the client's position. My case was not an easy one by any means and I was even shot down by several other law firms prior to consulting with Howard; but he still agreed to represent me and pursue my case the way I wanted to because Howard is a lawyer who will fight for their client until the very end. I was very discouraged in the beginning, but since working with Howard, he's helped me win my case and get what I wanted within a short turnaround. I wholeheartedly recommend Howard to anyone facing legal issues as he is experienced, virtuous, and transparent. Everyone deserves satisfactory representation and I have no doubt that Howard will be that lawyer for you.

My name's Sara and I had Howard Leopold represent me in a case. Being that I hadn't been through a case like this before, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. He sat with me for an hour before court and also answered all my emails, calls, or texts the same day I had questions or needed to speak. His work in court was great and to not make this any longer, we won the case. I got what I needed. If you need a lawyer, call Howard Leopold.

There is so much I can say about Leopold. First thing is that you won't find another lawyer like him. Leopold is honest and does anything in his power to help his clients. He wants the best for his clients and will recommend you what's best for each situation. He is the type of lawyer that won't take advantage of his clients and does it with the heart. If you ever need a lawyer to help you with any lease or any problems against a landlord, he is the go to Guy!!!! Please do not hesitate to reach out to him. Thank you Leopold for all you did for me and my partners. I will be the first one to reach out for my next lease.

Absolutely incredible work by Mr. Howard Leopold.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Howard Leopold of Leopold Law, L.L.C. He went above and beyond to represent me in my landlord tenant case and I wouldn’t trust anyone but Howard to handle it; because of his great representation, resolutions were met and I will recommend Howard Leopold to anyone and everyone that needs rightful and fair representation.

I retained Howard for a tenancy dispute I had with my landord, for repairs on my bathroom leak that never was never repaired for a year and half causing the ceiling to cave. Howard was an amazing lawyer that fought tooth and nail for me. He had to constantly call the opposing attorney and tried to settle many time with a resistant landlord. The case dragged on way longer than it should have between the landlord requesting adjournments and the court failing to reissue new dates. If it weren’t for Howard’s unfaltering resolve and demanding the case be tried asap with the court house, I still would have had my case in limbo. With all the pushback and delay with my case Howard never asked to increase my retainer. My case was resolved with a court agreement that the repairs are to be made and a 30% abatement on rent. I couldn’t be any happier with the results Howard was able to achieve. My experience with him was a pleasure and has removed any negative connotations about lawyers that are typically thought. It was nice to have someone guide me through my nightmare experience with my landlord and get action from him which I was never able to get alone. I will use him for any situation like this again in the future and so should you.

Howard recently represented me in a real estate settlement case and successfully vacated two large financial judgements against me. His attention to detail and experience helped to win the case. Howard was collaborative in his efforts in representing me, making precise recommendations to prove my innocence in the case. His thoroughness and correspondence was efficient and timely, ensuring I was always in the loop. I’m grateful for his support and professionalism and would highly recommend.

Strongly recommend.

Mr. Leopold took our very complicated case of corporate dissolution and claim for damages. There was discovery of 30 years of documents, conflicts and intricacies of corporate statutes. He handled it extremely well (by himself) and got us a very good result. Most important (as a lapsed lawyer myself) he took the time to listen to his clients and found nuances in the case which I believe directly impacted his success. I highly recommend him.

A total lifesaver!

Howard handled my divorce with complete care and professionalism. My ex-husband refused to sign the papers and Howard assured me he would still get the divorce done. Howard was able to get my husband to sign and he had my divorce finalized within 6 months. I cannot thank him enough for helping leave a bad situation and start my life over. Extremely responsive day and night!

My landlord attempted to evict me based on false pretense. Howard cut to the chase, called their attorney and called them out on their wrong doing. In doing so, it saves tons of money and time. They withdrew the eviction and the lockout. We did not have to go to the court which would have cost substantially more money and time. I suppose it was the best possible outcome for a bad situation thanks to Howard.
