Thoughtul, thorough and empathetic help

I run a computer business in the Boston area. I hired Jamie Leighton to help me negotiate a commercial rental contract. She carefully walked me through the terms of the contract the landlord had proposed. She showed me which parts might create risks for my business. She also provided a common-sense a...ssessment of the business wisdom of this rental, which helped me make a good decision about whether to go ahead with the project. I am grateful to have this good lawyer to guide my business as it grows.

Excellent and timely response and service

Myself and other family members and friends have used Attorney Leighton any number of times for wills, proxy statements, Bankruptcy and home purchase and sales, and personal legal matters. She answers her own phone. Returns calls promptly. She is extremely informative and knowledgable. If she does no...t have the answer to a question she will get it as soon as possible. Highly recommended.
