Former client

Jerry is excellent. He knows the law and is very compassionate. He worked hard to attain the best result he could attain for me while ensuring that I fully understood the cost versus benefit of every step we took in my case. Jerry's experience and knowledge as a CPA was a huge benefit to me in my ...case. Terrific lawyer and great guy. I would definitely use Jerry again (but I hope never to need him as a divorce is tough). If you need a divorce lawyer then call Jerry. He is as good as they get!

Great lawyer

Jerry was a terrific lawyer and easy to work with. He patiently answered all of my questions without getting frustrated or annoyed with me like my first lawyer did. Jerry is a straight shooter and someone you can trust to be prepared and fight hard to accomplish your objectives. I hope to never... need a divorce lawyer again but if I did, Jerry is the person I would go to. Very smart guy with vast knowledge on the divorce laws, financial and tax issues.

Mr. Leary demonstrated a professional manner throughout my difficult ordeal. He was very reasonable in explaining what my expectations should be and at the end of the day he was completely correct. He is a skilled counselor and was always completely honest and compassionate. I am very glad that I ...had him represent me in my divorce. His staff was a complete pleasure to work with as well.
