Recommendation

I am a personal injury attorney who practices in New York. I have referred family, friends and clients to Scott Leonard for more than 20 years. He is hard-working, highly skilled and very attentive to his client’s needs. And most importantly, he gets great results. I strongly recommend Scott if... you are in need of a personal injury attorney in New Jersey.

Amazing lawyer and team

I am so thankful for the help of Mr. Leonard and his team. Another lawyer I visited in NYC, recommended Scott, for getting hit by a car that happened in NJ right behind my house. I was scared and nervous because I've never sued anyone, or dealt with justice on this scale. Thanks to the Mr. Leonard an...d his team, they fought tooth and nail to help me get justice and to finally close a painful, embarrassing chapter of my life. Mr. Leonard walked me through the entire process and helped me every step of the way. Scott was always honest when talking to me about the case and answered every question I had. He gave me his personal number if I ever had questions, concerns, I needed to address. Scott would also call me to see how I was doing and give me updates on the case. Truly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very compassionate. I'll definitely go to him again if I ever need his help.

Taking Care of Business/YOU!

For cases involving personal injury I recommend Scott Leonard and the Leonard Legal Group without reservation. I was in a car accident. I consulted Scott Leonard, he made me feel informed and confident. I hired him. Throughout the case I was kept extremely up to date. When progression w...as slow Scott Leonard will call me just to check in and let me know he is still doing his due diligence. Scott Leonard changed my life. He is a great person and a great lawyer. I will recommend him to anyone with the appropriate issues. I won my case and I am confident you have a great chance at being a winner as well.

Excellent Attorney

In May2016 my wife was involved in a serious auto accident and was injured. We are incredibly grateful to have found Scott Leonard who was referred by a relative. Scott is not just an amazing Lawyer, he is an amazing person. What makes Scott great is his: unwavering candor - Scott will not BS, no...r will he give you unfair or unrealistic expectations; relentless client advocacy; constant, consistent and honest communication; professionalism and sincerity. Most of our direct interactions were with Scott, although we know Scott could not do what he does without a great supporting team. If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer, look no further, you will not find better. Not only will you get the best possible financial outcome, you will deal with someone who truly cares about you - well beyond the financial outcome you represent. For example, what attorney reaches out to his client 3 months post settlement just to ask "how are you guys doin..." If this type of Attorney exists, I have only met one. Scott Leonard.

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.
