Expert In her Field of work!

Each time we spoke with Leah on the phone, in person or through email, she was able to answer each one of our questions with ease and honesty. Brutally honest at times but when you are in this type of a situation, its imperative that you are given all the information good or bad regarding your partic...ular circumstances and she gives you just that while having your future best interest at heart. Leah returns your phone calls and emails in a very timely manner. She is very professional and we would definitely recommend her services to others.

Bankruptcy Queen!

Leah was ready available, non-judgmental, and incredibly helpful throughout the filing of my bankruptcy. She made the difficult decision and process simple and quite manageable. I really appreciate her helping me achieve a fresh start and for patiently answering my questions before, during, and aft...er the filing.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
