Center-Family Representation, New York NY

Two individuals who work here impacted my life. They left such an imprint, till this day it still inspires me towards me goals and dreams. Two great advocates. One was my attorney in 2014 her name is Allegra A. Leitner, she taught me everything I know about my rights pertaining to child protective services. She fought for me, and was always compassionate, professional, attentive and responsive. She did not judge me, always presented a safe space for me to be open and honest with her. The other woman that insprired me her name is Suyanna, she was my social worker, my other advocate. She made strides to attend every meeting with ACS and the foster care agency. She also maintained a foundation of trust, and always followed through on what she said she would do. Thank you so much Allegra and Suyanna! You have helped shape who I am today, not only being a strong advocate for myself, my children but for those I work with as well. You two inspired me so much that I got into the Social work field, and am now looking into Law Graduate schools to become an attorney myself, to one day represent parents in family court with CPS cases. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about the positive impact you two have made in my life and there is nothing that could ever pay the HUGE thank you for being proactive when represneting my case 6-7 years ago. Not sure if you two are still at CFR, either way I wish you guys nothing less than the best in everything that you do. Truly God sent, Thank you, thank you! Ps. There is no amount of stars I could put on this review, that would be a true reflection of what you guys have done in my life and for being who you are.

Incompetents. So many options i had to get my kids back and they never gave those to me. I felt as they were working for ACS and not for me. Either they dont know what they are doing or they didnt want to help me. Change lawyer if you have them and you wont regret it.

If you are ever in a family court case, and you need great, respectful lawyers. This is your place. Not only are the lawyers great but the whole staff has your back with anything they can help you with. From reception, to the social workers, and the whole staff. I really couldn't think of better people to represent you and your family.

Truly disgusted with this practice. Their lawyers are unethical and should be disbarred. They champion helping disgruntled women attack their families while children pay the price. Jennifer Feinberg is the lowest of them all, she assisted her clinically insane client in harassing me and filing multiple baseless motions that I had to HIRE (pay) a lawyer to defend. Abuse of the legal system is the very least she’s guilty of. I would write more but I’ll include it in my formal complaint to the NYSBA.
