This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

*BEWARE* !!!THEIF, LIAR, FRAUD!!!* BEWARE*

this man has ruined my nephew's life. He lied and ripped off my sister and her husband out of a lot of money. charging for paperwork he isn't filing. This man even filed stuff against my nephew. He refuses to get certain documents and just keeps wanting more and more money. With all the attorneys in ...Rochester Ny, I am positive it won't be hard finding anyone better. My nephew's case didn't start to turn around until he spoke up. He is innocent and has proof and yet Mr. Leichtner doesn't like to show this proof or file it! He is a DISUSTING HUMAN Being!!

Disappointing results-did not finish the job-

I hired Mr. Leichtner for a divorce and house closing. Details were missed on both, in the end, costing me money, plus communication was an issue. I could not recommend him.

Horrible

I would never hire him for my divorce again. He has not filed paperwork when he said he would... never returns calls... moved without notifying me... He did not follow through and left me hanging. Excuse after excuse!!!!
