*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!!

Beware!! I would give zero stars if I could!!

Ed took forever to file on my behalf, and when he did he mishandled the paperwork. This led to yet another delay in my Divorce. I'm now trying to get formal paperwork on my divorce (because he never got me my official copies) and I find that he has entered erronous birthdates, transposed "defendant..." and "plaintiff" to the point my house may be in danger. I'm now lost and don't know what to do

This One Got Me in Hotwater

Used him for a divorce. Took three too many years and I am still uncertain of the result, except that I lost a lot of money through his misconduct.
