Good lawyer with lie rating

I am unbelieved that this attorney was disciplinied, he is most honest and was simply got caught up in wrong place, wrong time, and protect clients. This website should learn what to do and how to do investigation before posting. This lawyer and firm got me best transactions and agreements, so as ...professional, they are good. Thank to everyone.

Suberb business contracts lawyer, guided me through partnership dissolution

I have hired Roman in the past to assist me with a partnership dissolution. Roman's guidance through entire process has been invaluable. He made a complex and stressful process much easier and saved us a lot of money. I also hired Roman in a personal business litigation matter. His negotiation skills... are amazing as he has helped me to avoid costly ligitation and settled the matter in a short time. I highly recommend Roman's services!

Very professional and efficient

I dealt with Roman while he was in law school and working at another firm. Once Roman was available as a licensed attorney I used his firm for various business transactions and agreements. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to resolve numerous disputes without litigation, preserve our business and... avoid conflicts. Highly recommended attorney!

"I endorse this lawyer. With years of experience, one look at his dozens and dozens of published answers to questions at Avvo.com or his several published Avvo Legal Guides or his recommendations and endorsements from other attorneys and clients ought to tell you that attorney Leonov knows the law and cares about making sure his clients get the best possible result for their legal problem. If you have a contract law question, he is your answer. If his office is anywhere near you, I recommend him to you. Solid legal advice is always cheaper, faster and better than paying dearly to straighten things out later on. If you even think you have a problem coming, talk to Roman sooner rather than later."
