Thank you Leon !

A nightmare gone right. Innocent and the courts of Long Beach/public defender (garret Rooney) did want to hear my story. They didn’t want to see the evidence. I was dead today right. Looking at a guilty verdict and 3 years probation for self defense. The court didn’t see it that way. And my public d...efender didn’t believe me as well. Lawyer after lawyer that I consulted had very little trust in Long Beach court and al had a similar defeatist attitude once the words Long Beach come up, nobody wanted to take the case...... UNTIL I MET LEON !!! He took the case and took them by storm! They didn’t see it coming. And next thing you know, 3 short hearings and exactly as Leon said it would be, I was walking away free. And my case was heard! And the judges final words were “I’m guessing you will be accepting the deal we are putting forward, thanks to the MAGIC of your lawyer” Some call it magic. I call It a job well done! Thank you Leon.

Case dismissed

My case was overwhelming. When I hired Leon he was there for me at every step. He never hesitated to challenge the prosecution. When the DA tried set a bail Leon fought against it and won. He got my case dismissed and I walked away free.

Professional in Every Way

Leon not only met my expectations but far surpassed them. He helped me with two matters in two separate states. He kept me updated every step of the process and helped me conclude old legal matters. I highly recommend him for any legal matters you may need. I am glad I chose him to represent me, afte...r consulting two other lawyers. In the future if I need more representation in New York I will definitely call on him again.

Lawyer with a Heart& Smarts

From day one Leon laid out all the facts and maneuvered a few paths for me. I appreciated the attention to detail and commitment until the very end even though I know how busy he was. I will say I was nervous at a point and he pressed on to represent me in the fullest. I was involved in a CRIMINA...L case (eekk) to my hearts discontent and HE got it dismissed! Thank youuuu! I do not take this lightly and I am most grateful for his diligence and why yes, that damn fine patience. Trust in him as he will in you:)

Excellent

I hired Leon just by chance of the internet and I have to say I got very lucky! From the get go I could tell Leon is a very professional, hard working guy, who fights for his clients. He explained everything to me very well and was very patient with me also. I would definitely recommend Leon and woul...d like to thank him for going above and beyond with my case.
