Leona Krasner

I had posted anonymously in my local Facebook group asking for a divorce attorney who would not be too expensive but reasonable and fair throughout the process. I was hoping to divorce my husband on amicable terms as we have children. Several respondents recommended Leona Krasner. I immediately c...alled for a consultation. We discussed the options, and she was very transparent with me on everything and realistic with expectations and deadlines. I started the process, signed the engagement letter which Leona walked me through section by section, and essentially gave her a deposit to start the process. Fortunately, my husband and I were able to resolve our issues before I officially filed for divorce. Leona checked in on me monthly to see how things were going as I asked for time as I was working through things with my husband. Eventually after 4 months, I told her I would finally not be moving forward, and she was very happy. She is not the type of lawyer that pushes for divorce to make $, which I truly appreciated. She confirmed with me that we were making steps to work on our relationship. She returned most of my deposit, excluding amounts that were pulled out for services already incurred which was a small amount and of course discussed in the engagement letter. I appreciated timely invoices throughout the process as well as it slowly chipped away at my deposit and I was aware of the work being performed in a timely manner. Her team quickly returned the deposit through zelle. Leona was very helpful, talked me through my concerns and any questions I had, and I appreciated that she worked with my schedule as well since I would call her late at night when my husband was not home to prevent him finding out. She is a lawyer you can trust and she is very honest.

I am pleased to share my experience working with Leona as a divorce attorney. Her efficiency and articulate communication skills set her apart in the legal field. From our initial conversation, it was evident that Leona possesses a deep understanding of family law and a strategic mindset that is ...essential for navigating complex cases. She approaches each situation with a level of professionalism that inspires confidence in both clients and colleagues alike. In addition to her impressive legal acumen, Leona's empathetic approach allows her to connect with clients on a personal level, making her not just a skilled attorney but also a trusted advisor. I highly recommend her services to my own clients and anyone seeking a divorce attorney who combines efficiency with eloquence and a genuine dedication to her clients.

I’m writing this review because I truly don’t want anyone else to go through what I went through. Hiring an attorney during a family court crisis is not something people do casually. You’re already overwhelmed, scared, and trying to protect your child. You hire counsel because you believe someone is ...going to fight for you, guide you, and help bring stability to a situation that is already painful. That is not what I experienced with Ms. Krauser and her firm. The opposing party in my case was represented, so I expected strong advocacy and a clear strategy. Ms. Krauser appeared for only one or two court appearances and, in my experience, did nothing meaningful to move my case forward or protect my interests. I was left feeling unheard, unsupported, and completely alone in a process I was paying thousands of dollars for. The billing was shocking. In a matter of months, I was charged more than previous attorneys charged me over the course of years. On top of the legal fees, I was billed for everything—stamps, travel, tolls, and constant add-ons. The amount they charged felt disgusting and exploitative, especially considering how little actual progress or advocacy I received in return. What hurt even more was the lack of professionalism and care in the paperwork. I specifically raised concerns about attorneys reusing templates and charging clients as if documents are being created from scratch. I was assured that wasn’t how they operate. Yet I received a contract with someone else’s name on it—clearly copied and pasted. I also sent drafts of filings I had already started, and they were returned to me with errors and other people’s names still included. When you’re dealing with court filings, those “small mistakes” are not small. They can cost you time, money, and credibility in front of a judge. If you’re paying thousands of dollars, you should receive accuracy, strategy, urgency, and real advocacy—not recycled paperwork, careless errors, and excessive billing for basic administrative items. This experience left me feeling financially exploited during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. I pray for this attorney and her family, and I genuinely hope she reflects on the harm that these practices cause to people who are already in crisis and just trying to protect their children. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Ms. Krasner or her firm.
