Leon is the best!

Since the beginning of my divorce proceedings in 2003, through a 20 day trial in 2006, and an appeal in 2008, Leon has been an outstanding advocate for me. We won the 20 day trial against Marc Janser at Peterson & Houpt with a 50 page trial court decision in 2006. My former husband, now a partner... at Baker & McKenzie then hired Jim Feldman at Jenner & Block. for an appeal. At the end of July 2008, the appellate court handed down a 50 page decision which basically affirmed the trial court's decision. I hope that if you are reading this, you never have to go to such extremes. But if you do.... Leon is an superb negotiator as well as a litigator. He was always very professional. But wait, there's more! There are still post decrees issues that have not been resolved and Leon is still in my corner.

Best Divorce Lawyer in Chicago!!!

How do I count the ways....my divorce [which is still ongoing] has consisted of hearings for everthing under the sun, also a 20 day trial ...and through it all Leon worked so hard. We won the trial!!! He is brilliant, knows how to handle the most difficult and emotional parts of a nasty divorce.....L...eon and his firm are always professional and responsive. This divorce started in 2003 and we are still working together; meanwhile the ex has been through [at the time of this writing] four different law firms!
