Leah E. Ross

I truly hope you never find yourself in a position where you need a custody lawyer, but if you do, I can't recommend Leah Ross highly enough! She and her firm carried me through the most complicated, messy time in my life, when I honestly just could not see the other side of it. Leah Ross is so tou...gh and smart, and so incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and compassion - definitely a no-nonsense attorney who knows how to command a room, but who also was there for me every time I was overwhelmed with uncertainty, fear, the feeling of wanting to just throw in the towel. My case was a total roller coaster, and she expertly rode the waves of it, keeping me on track and helping me keep perspective on the bigger picture, always able to figure out a new strategy or change course if we needed to. Just having her by my side put me at ease when truly nothing and no one else could. In the courtroom, I watched her in awe. Thankfully we avoided trial, but after countless court appearances, I joked with her that the only reason I would've wanted a trial was to really see her in action! I am so relieved to finally be on the other side of my situation, and with a favorable result, which honestly seemed impossible to me when I was deep in it - I absolutely could not have gotten here without Leah.

Leah Ross represented me with a high degree of professionalism, dedication and tenacity. When I was caught up in a whirlwind of confusion, doubt and uncertainty her calm, methodical approach ultimately delivered to me both a divorce and custody settlement that I feel very fortunate to have as the re...sults could have much worse for me . The more time that elapse the more valuable my custody settlement becomes as it guarantees me a long lasting relationship with my daughter. Leah used all of the resources available to her at Johnson & Cohen and in the end, I felt, prevailed over unfounded, manufactured and defamatory claims made against me by the other side. A year later the other side of divorce is not so bad. Thank you, Leah.

After failed mediation, collaboration and several years of litigation in a highly contentious action, Ms. Ross facilitated a settlement that had been previously deemed impossible. Her strength of character and compassion, was not only a welcome departure from the callous, indifferent, broken jud...icial system, it was in no small part responsible for the successful conclusion of a fair and equitable settlement. Ms. Ross was able to work past the acrimony, using tremendous empathy and creativity, without comprising on the things that mattered most. I would highly recommend her if you desire an attorney who is bright, creative, capable, empathic, and compassionate; yet be able to stand-up for what is most important to you.
