Kevin is the BEST!
I moved to Concord, NH from Long Island, NY in 2015. I was in a car accident in 2013. The injuries I sustained left me with a permanent disability. I am a very active person. An athlete, yogi, runner, bicyclist, hiker, walker etc. The work I did my whole career was very active work as well. I was a personal trainer and supplemented my income with waiting on tables, which gave me the bulk of my income. Because of my injuries I could no longer do that line of work. I was searching for work in the field I knew that did not require me to be so active. This was a very challenging time for me. I had landed a job when I first moved to Concord and was fired 30 days into it because of my disability. I researched lawyers on line and found Kevin. He was awesome from the beginning. Always took the time to explain things to me. Responded in a timely manner and was spot on when predicting what would happen. What he said would happen, happened. He was articulate, friendly, honest, straight forward, a great guy in my mind. The outcome of my case were great. A few months later in my job search I was refused a position because of my disability and reached out to Kevin again for help. He was busy at the time, but took on the case and the outcome again was great for me. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Kevin. He made my challenging experiences much easier to bare. I am proud to say he represented me and would recommend him very highly. Lorna

Responsive, knowledgeable, agressive
I was referred to Kevin through a friend who was also a client of his. I have hired other lawyers in the past and have not had the results that Kevin got for me. I truly went into his office thinking I would get mediocre results as usual. I was wrong. I immediately saw something different with Kevin. He is without a doubt a lawyer that stands out from the crowd. He gave me confidence in my case and his ability to used incredible strategic action at the right time can only come from an experienced professional. A++ Kevin, Thanks you again!

A car accident injury.
I had the very best experience with this firm. I was rear ended in a car accident in Concord NH. I was I was injured and endured great pain. I was a hairdresser and owned my salon and had to give it up due to my injuries. They never gave up trying to help me. I would highly recommend Douglas Leonard&Garvey. I appreciate them and they are very understanding and easy to talk to. They saved my life. I’m forever grateful.

Auto Accident
I hired Attorney Leonard to represent me in a rear end collision. Not knowing what my rights were, he explained in detail the complete process. I left his office knowing I was well represented. The case eventually was settled, and I am happy to say, I got the best settlement possible. I would fully recommend him to all my family!

Best Attorney I know
I recommend him all the time. He is a pit bull in the court room and ALWAYS prepared. I never felt so well represented. I had fired my two former divorce attorneys because I was just a number and hind sight they were no where near the skill level.

Award winning attitude and performance
Attorney Kevin Leonard has been my Attorney for over 16 years. When I have been most in need in legal support, Kevin and his team has been by my side no matter the situation. I would recommend Attorney Kevin Leonard and his firm, DLG, to any and all citizens seeking legal support for any reason.

Lack of follow up and declining our case for no reason after at least 4 weeks of waiting.
I and my wife , we are very disappointed . After reading good reviews here . we've chosen Kevin Leonard Office to take care of my wife discrimination case. After calling the office and talking to secretary , we received a phone call on next 2 days. A gentleman name Jason contacted us , gathered the info we sent immediately all paperwork. Then no call no follow up, I called him on following days just to follow left voicemail, and left message with reception lady. Still no answer . After more than 4 weeks ! I receive a letter from Jason saying that he is not able to do our case because of medical issues , and nothing further....!!! That makes me wonder , is he the only attorney working in your offices. Mr.Leonard ??? If he is sick we understand and we wish to him good luck. But leave us with no feedback for over 4 weeks or maybe more and surprise my wife with such letter that doesn't make any sense and that is no acceptable. My wife has suffered enough and we do not want that a lawyer office make it worst instead of helping her to bring the justice. I need Mr Leonard to contact me directly . It is impossible to get on hold of you..! You need to fix this problem . Your employee has cost us valuable time and make my spouse more stressed ...and this need to be straighten up before we move forward and and contact general attorney or whoever protect client from lawyers discrimination and abuse. Thanks . I'll be waiting for your call.
