I have worked with him on several of cases. He has taken perfect, perfect care of everything to my benefit. He uses his long and wise experience to resolute the issues. I thank him.

Mr Arbor was retained by my then wife to represent her in a divorce which I initiated and that my lawyer did all of the work. He consistently didn’t respond to my lawyer who was seeking input to the divorce paperwork that was being drawn up. After multiple non returned calls or emails my lawyer informed him that he was submitting the documents to the courts. At that time the required QDRO was due to be submitted but nothing was done even though it was listed in the divorce paperwork. Fast forward 25 years later and I have attempted to retire but couldn’t due to the missing QDRO. Almost two years ago my now ex-wife contacted him again to retain him to do what was supposed to be done prior to the divorce. When dealing with this whole QDRO issue he moves like a glacier, barely responded to even the company he retained to do the quadro, he failed to include all the relative retirement assets that needed to be in the Quadro. I became involved in attempting to get the QDRO approved and submitted all the checklist retired documents and all he submitted was the incomplete QDRO 6 months after it was completed. The judge rejected it due to the late filing and requested a show for cause as to why it was so late. He verbally assaulted my ex wife when she attempted to get him to act in a timely manner and wanted more money for doing basically nothing. I would not hire this lawyer if he was the last one on earth and from the reviews I have read he has a pattern of this behavior.

My experience with Howard B. Arber as my attorney was terrible. He was often unresponsive and vague when I managed to contact him. He missed key deadlines, misfiled important documents, and seemed unprepared for court. Despite charging high fees, the service was subpar. I felt robbed by the end of the process. I strongly advise against using Howard B. Arber for legal representation.

This attorney has been sanctioned for bad business practices by the courts. He is not accredited by BBB. On Yelp and Google he has bad reviews. You will find many instances of his clients being shafted by him. I crossed paths with Mr. ARBER and found him to be unscupulous and barely practicing law correctly. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, AS OTHER REVIEWS HAVE DONE !!

I hired Howard Arber to represent me, it was a big mistake. the case was, I co-signed for a loan for a friend and he stopped paying the lender, therefore, the lender came after me. Howard, he accused me of fraud, he said all kind of things to me and made me feel low. He showed no consideration and he failed to conduct adequate legal research. One day, Arber mentioned to me that he is friend with the lender's attorney and he accused me of defrauding the lender and then I fire him. One day I hired another attorney, she told me Arber was supposed to file some papers with Nassau county clerk, he never did and it was too late to act on it. I located a few attorneys to try to sue Howard Arber for gross negligence, none of them wanted to take the case. They told me it was conflict of interest. This man should have lost his practice license, and thrown in jail like a criminal.

I hired Howard B. Arber for order protection case and did a bad job He took my money and recommended me to sign the contest and I was ignorant not understand the law un fortunate . I am not advise anyone to deal with him.

We retained Howard after many years of getting the run around with our lender who would not negotiate a modification to our loan. We were victims of predatory lending and were in danger of foreclosure. When we first sat down with Howard, he reassured us that he would be able to help us. He gave us several options to pursue and helped us choose the best option that would most benefit us. Howard worked diligently to keep us in our home until he was able to obtain a deed in lieu for us where we were able to comfortably move on with our lives. Howard was present at every court appearance and kept us up to date, returning our calls on the progress of our case at every turn. Were it not for Howard, we would have gone into foreclosure and ruined our credit as a result. We are forever in debt to Howard for taking this financial and emotional burden off of our shoulders.

I hired Mr. Arber as my attorney. He represented in a criminal case which was ok. He does make promises he can’t keep. I retained him for a additional case which corresponded with the first. He gave me a price verbally of $3500. I gave him $1000 as a retainer so I thought. I asked for a itemized bill a month later and he got rather nasty. He gave me additional bill of now $5000 asking for more money. He claims he never received my letters of recommendation but they were all sent to me bcc’d. I was called a couple weeks after to be informed I was being charged for “research” even though he claimed he has worked in matter such as my case. He then sent me several threatening emails that he would stop services and take my $1000 but could not prove the work done. I am not defamatory his character. I just trusted his words and it’s hard not to hire a lawyer guy can not trust. Sad actually. Do your research before hiring him he’s too pricey to be gambling with your future.

Howard agreed to file a false quiet title action and a fake satisfaction of Mortgage from a fake company to help me try to defraud my mortgage lender. Howard was great. The scheme almost worked. Unfortunately now there is a criminal referral with the Nassau County DA ..but hey you win some you loose some he definitely tried hard and I have to give him credit .

Hired Howard to defend in a lawsuit. He did not focus on my case. He was unresponsive to my calls and lost a relatively easy case do to lack of communication. Would not recommend.

Does not know matrimonial law. Messed up my case...Tens of thousands of $$ later. His promises mean nothing. Either time to retire or focus on DWIs, a sure bet for him and his wallet,as he rides out to pasture . AVOID!'!!

Howard handled back taxes on a business for me. He told me everything was settled and I received a letter from the State saying the case was closed. Several years later I made the mistake of trusting Mr. Arber and added my name to my mom's saving account. Needless to say the State put a freeze on my mom's account and took the money from her.Mr. Arber did nothing to help me when I called him. He asked me to come down and sign a power of attorney. I don't know for what because he never returned my calls and I never heard from him again. Would not recommend him to my dog. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN,HE SHOULD BE DISBARRED! LOUSY ATTORNEY!!!
