                            Leonard Yakir of Leonard Yakir Photography, THIEF? You be the judge!  

(New York, NY) February 03, 2016 - A bride who paid Leonard Yakir for her wedding pictures in full in 1999, some 17-years after the fact is still without her wedding albums. Leonard Yakir, Thief? You be the judge!

Now Leonard Yakir wants the bride to sign a release that states; "There was a mutual misunderstanding," which caused the delays. "I refuse to let this predetor Leonard Yakir drag me down into the mud.  The only misunderstanding was his, and I think that it was more than a misunderstanding, I believe that it was thievery and deception and a ploy to continue to extort me for more money. 

"The contracted amount for the entire wedding package was $3,666.00.  The total amount of payments made to Mr. Leonard Yakir was $4,665.80, nearly $1,000.00 greater than the contracted amount," those are the facts, according to the bride, who believes that Leonard Yakir is a thief.  "He took my money and took advantage of me, that is Leonard Yakir's legacy."

"I believe and there is a consensus that Leonard Yakir is a sick, evil, thief who enjoys defrauding female clients." In 2013, the complaintant hired a White Plains, New York attorney, to obtain her property, but still has not taken possession.

"I liken this course of events to someone being held for ransom," said Yakir's client. "Yakir is holding my property hostage." She added that Leonard Yakir, took her money, convinced her to pay an additional $1,000.00 at one point (which she did pay an additional $1,000.00 Yakir), to be subjected to additional extortion attempts for more money.  "He just refused to give me my property." She added, he repeatedly cited being too busy to produce my albums due to traveling with his daughter Sara Hadley Yakir to violin tournaments. "He used this excuse repeatedly and for years and years."

Leonard Yakirs victim added; "He also called the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on me after I reported him on Rip Off Report, which they (the FBI) immediately dismissed his complaint as outrageous after I told the FBI, that I was the victim, who overpaid this scum of the earth, Yakir by $1,000.00."

Leonard Yakir also has refused to deliver the physical "Wedding Albums," as part of the proposed settlement that has been in the works since 2013. Yakirs former client adds; "Leonard Yakir was paid in excess of the contractual agreement, promptly. He never delivered my property and he is trying to shove me into a corner by making me lie about the the entire matter, something I refuse to do, so he can save face and make me look like some poor accountant of money and our contractual agreement."

The Bride reports that her father died in 2005, prior to seeing her wedding albums. And her mother is getting up there in age and she fears the same for her mom. "Yakir has to explain to everyone that he comes into contact with, his justification for ripping off a bride who in good faith paid him in full," the distraught bride added.

"I have every intention of constantly updating the status of my stolen wedding photography property, on Rip Off Report." She added; "Leonard yakir will be going straight to hell, where even Satan will spit in his face when he gets there." In furtherance, the Bride added; "If you are considering any type of business relationship with Leonard Yakir, I strongly urge you to run in the other direction and do not hand him your money, because in my experience Leonard Yakir is a thief, conman and extortionist.I just don't want anyone else to ever have to be subjected to Leonard Yakir's shenanigans, rip off ploys and thievery."

Leonard Yakir's Wedding Photography Client Leonard Yakir Photography The Disgraceful and Pathetic Father of Violinist Sara Hadley Yakir Leonard Yakir Photography Shyster, Scammer, Stole My Money , lyphoto.smugmug.com/, New York 

September 04, 2013 - Brooklyn, New York --- UPDATE: Leonard Yakir Photography of 573 10th Street Brooklyn, NY 11215 who is also the Shyster, d****e, Lowlife, Con Man, Thief, and Father of Violinist Sara Hadley Yakir, continues to hold my wedding photography materials for ransom and hostage.

He knows very well that he can avoid compelling me to post these factual and unfortunate comments, by merely honoring his contractual obligation to me and delivering my wedding photography materials, yet he continues to be a pathetic, arrogant, stubborn little runt, at everyones expense, including his laughable Violinist daughter Sara Hadley Yakir, whom Yakir repeatedly used as an excuse for not delivering my wedding package over the years, citing traveling with daughter Sara on Violin Tournaments.

Huhh! Using my money to travel the globe like big shots playing the violin.  Imagine this! 

To refresh and update your memory on the facts, in 1999, I retained Leonard Yakir of Leonard Yakir Photography  to shoot my wedding and deliver materials including albums.  Despite the fact that payment was made in full and an additional $1,000.00 above the contracted amount for a grand sum of payments totaling $4,665.80.

Leonard Yakir, a short little Jewish man who hides under a baseball cap (like Bernie Madoff once did) and behind the guise of his computer keyboard, repeatedly lied to me and extorted me when he demanded more payments be sent to him, this despite the fact that he was paid well over anything I owed him. 

He has and continues to extort, be evasive, unethical, and a modern day swindler.

Over the years, and long after Leonard Yakir had been paid well above the contracted amount, he repeatedly used the excuse that he was traveling internationally with his daughter, Sara Hadley Yakir, on Violin tournaments. 

See these links of the Swindler's daughter Sara Hadley Yakir playing the Violin that that this bride paid for.  on YouTube. And Sara Hadley Yakir is in my and many opinions a subpar Violinist and in the opinion of others too  Yes that's right she is not very good.   She has been traveling the world and the country with her dead beat father Leonard Yakir, through the ill-gotten finances that I paid to her father for my wedding photography package, as far as I am concerned.  How many others are there out there who paid Sara Hadley Yakir's d****ebag father.

Here is the UPDATE on the continuing SAGA of thief Leonard Yakir and the bride that he ripped off:

My attorney and a former Bronx Prosecutor, contacted Leonard Yakir, demanding our material.  Yakir stated that he would send "what he has" of the wedding material.  IMAGINE THIS?

He then stated that he refuses to deliver the wedding albums, despite the fact that I paid him $1,000.00 over the contracted amount.

This cheap bum Leonard Yakir, then demanded that I send him shipping and handling. Imagine this creep Leonard Yakir wants me to send him shipping and handling after I paid him $1,000.00 over the contracted amount.

Finally, piece of Dog Feces Leonard Yakir then demanded that any information that I have posted on the internet be removed before he sends me my wedding material. And his daughter Sara Hadley Yakir is not too far behind, because the proverbial apple does not fall from the tree. Sara hadley Yakir's daddy is a d****e bag, scam artist, who preys on bridal customers, who pay him in full and then refuses to deliver the merchandise.

I told him NO to his ridiculous demands.

d****e Bag Leonard Yakir and Parent of Violinist Sara Hadley Yakir still holds my wedding material unlawfully, for ransom and against my will.

Buyer Beware! If you are considering contracting the services of Leonard Yakir Photography, who is also known as (aka) "Yak Yak" and "Yakey," and " Yakster," whether it be for wedding, commercial, Bar & Bat Mitzvah, etc. 

And Leonard Yakir, if you are reading this, I hope that you get run over by a bus the next time that you crawl out of what ever rat hole that you live in and then go straight to hell.  I Hope for the very worst for you.  Feelings that I have never had about anyone.

For you Violinist, Sara Hadley Yakir, you must know that your father is a bad man, a shyster and a modern day thug who victimized of all people, a wedding bride.  All of your friends and associates and contemporaries in the Violinist circles will know that your violin and your traveling to tournaments was financed by a wedding photography client that your father too unfair advantage of and stole my money.

May God have mercy on both of your soles. When you do bad things to good people, it comes full cycle and bites you in the a*s.  You'll see what I mean.

Another update coming soon.  Stay tuned to Rip Off Watch!
