EXCELLENT

After speaking with a few other attorneys My husband and I decided Mr. Duval was the right one for us. We FIRST hired Mr. Duval as a defense attorney for my husband, from the moment we spoke with him we felt confident we were in good hands. He was informative, professional, aggressive, knowledgeable ...and completely put our minds at ease. A few months later we hired him AGAIN for a personal injury case. He kept us informed every step of the way, he answered all our calls no matter what the time and answered all our questions always. He was amazing in both cases; he was able to get my husband's case down to just a small fine and his injury case a large amount of money and closed the case in less than a year! We highly highly recommend Mr. Duval.

Finding the right Lawyer

Leo had no interest in defending me based on my information. from the start it was a terrible experience, his advice on going to the state hearing was "you don"t need a lawyer because the cop never shows up"....the cop showed up! when I told Leo he said it did not matter I would have Lost anyway ???... Which was not true because a friend from mine who happened to be in court the same day with his lawyer kept his licence until his court case. Moving forward, once again I go over my defense with Leo and ask if he requested my case file From the DA"s office. (it has been two weeks) he says he has not had time to go over it!! My court date he forgets to show up for my case, waiting over an hour, finally I ask one of two attorneys sitting in front of me if they had seen Leo this morning and one attorney looks at the other and laughs!! The court at that time was appointing me a Legal aid Attorney......but Leo walks into the court room, not for me but for someone else, according to the judge the oldest case on file.(because he is trying to get it postponed again !....so Im thinking Yep..I think I picked the wrong Lawyer and it couldn't be the money he is paid in full. After he realized I was there he had one of his Attorney friends postpone my case. after this episode I realize he has no plans to defend me...just do this rehearsed dance with the court of postponing and taking the standard offer from the DA. So after I tell him Im usng a new attorney ..to spare his feelings i suggested he was to busy...he then says he spoke to the DA and if I agreed to wear a anklet for 3 months he could Get me a DUI plea ?? Last I left Off with Leo he said he would give me back most of my money ...but he did nothing not even an Attorney/ Client contract. JUSTICE AT LAST MY NEW ATTORNEY WAS ABLE TO SHOW THE COURT MY DEFENSE I PAID A SMALL FINE AND LIFE WENT BACK TO NORMAL...IT REALLY MATTERS WHEN YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT LAWYER !

Outstanding attorney

Mr Duval is an amazing attorney and a fantastic legal advocate. You can reach him at anytime and he is on your side all the way through. I found Mr. Duval to be a simply invaluable lawyer. I would highly recommend. Thanks to Mr. Duval, charges brought against me were dismissed and I can still hold on... to my good name. Thank you Mr. Leo Duval!!!

Miraculous

This was the first time I was ever "in trouble" with the law. The charges against me were serious and I was given a court appointed lawyer who was overloaded with paperwork and new clients he couldn't even remember my name. Then a friend suggested I call this lawyer that she heard of. I said what we... all say "I can't afford a lawyer". 'What have you got to lose!' she told me. I called Leo (aka Mr. Duval). trust me the man deserves the respect to be called sir even at the friendliest of meetings. So I sit down with him and have a consult. He looks me in the eye, 'Pat,you're going to be fine, we have work to do but I can help you." Trust issues aside,I could tell he knew his job and had over 20 years experience. He had my trust and on top of that Leo is a straight shooter and a gentleman. Through months and months of courtroom visits, then the day came. All charges dropped. Freedom like you can't explain, a load of unbelievable financial and legal burden, gone. Not only did a miracle happen but Mr. Leo Duval made me always feel at ease and comfortable. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer, friend, and genuine human being that seriously cares about doing the best job he can. You can trust him and I am sure he can help count less others if they just put there faith and trust in Mr.Leo Duval.

Amazing!!!

I had major charges against me and Mr. Duval not only made me feel comfortable but cared for. For a minimal cost he worked nothing short of a miracle. You're in good hands with this gentlemen and top attorney.
