About Leonard
Biography
For over 38 years, since I have been admitted to practice law, I have aggressively and effectively represented a diverse group of clients. I obtain the best possible results for my clients, given the facts and circumstances of their case and the law.
Together with my partner Emmanuel Coffy our firm provides our clients with comprehensive representation in both business and personal matters.
I have never been afraid to take a case to Trial and I let my clients know that.
I always find a way to make my clients feel relaxed and comfortable with me. I let them know.
I take special pride and I am very proud of my work in Mortgage Foreclosure Defense, Complex Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and Mortgage Loan Modification, where I have been able to help many people save their homes from foreclosure as well as obtaining mortgage loan modification.
Our firm's practice areas include (but are not limited to) mortgage foreclosure defense, mortgage loan modification, all types of bankruptcy, civil litigation, complete business corporation matters, divorce and domestic violence matters (including trials), all types of immigration, and all aspects of intellectual property.
In addtion our firm offers free 30 min consultations in all practice areas, except immigration, for which there is a $ charge. However, any case that requires extensive document review, will have a consultation fee.
Through my personal life experiences, as well as my legal education I have a unique prospective on Divorce and Family law, that few other attorneys can match, which helps me to both sympathize and empathize with what my clients are going through.
Pick the best lawyer you can find and remember one rule: a good lawyer is generally never cheap, and a cheap lawyer is generally never good so don't choose based on price.
I am proud that being an attorney enables me to make a difference in people's lives and be able to see the results of my work pay off right away for my clients.
When you need legal help, I offer aggressive,experienced & affordable representation. Call me today.
I put the power of Bankruptcy to work for you. Don't drown in debt!
Exercise your rights under Federal law and eliminate your financial problems. I can help you now!
I fight hard to protect your home! Experience matters! Tip the scales in your favor. Call today!
